I think the geographic advantage over Georgia that South Ossetia will give the Russian military is pretty scary for the Georgian government. We should admit Georgia into NATO (and the Ukraine) as quickly as possible. Now Poland is being overtly threatened if they allow us to build our missile defense site on Polish soil. I believe the Russian bear has become too bold, and it's time we let them know it. You wrote: "Let Russia impose independence on South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and use that imposition to punish the ever-loving snot out of them. Impose sanctions on Russia, kick it out of (or desolve) the G8, fast track NATO membership for whatever’s left in Georgia, Ukrane, and other CIS states. Put American military hardware in pro-western states that boarder Russia, and go full steam ahead in our plans for a missile defense system." I think it's a good idea, quite frankly. We have some of our biggest fans and potentially staunchest allies in the former Soviet States, and we need to bolster our support for them. Certainly they could prove to be more faithful allies than the Old Europe that has become so stagnant lately. Great piece. All the best, E.D. Kain Again, great article.
