German media start to wonder if there really has been any rebellion at all - or if maybe it just has been a fabrication by the leading Mafiosi to use the exercises beginning tomorrow to start trouble with Russia again like last summer - and present himself as the oh so poor victim of Russian aggression, conspiration and hell knows what.
There seem to be indications htat there was no rebellion indeed, and the Saakshvili just fabricated it.
So far, both versions remain to be unproven theories only. We need to wait, watch, and hopefully learn a bit later. Another motive for the mafiosi to could be seen revealed in his order to the interior minsitry, that the criminal conspiracy of the opposition against saakashvili is no longer to be tolerated after this attempted "coup" (which should have had an assassination loist with the mafiosi's name at the top), taking this event today (if it ever happened), as an excuse to beef up his supression of the democratic opposition that wants to chase him out of office, the town, and probably the whole country.
If I were NATO, I would call off the excercises tomorrow. The risk that this fine, noble Georgian ally uses the presence of NATO infantry troops in his country to strike Russian troops again and trying to laucnh a new war, wishing for Russia being either heistent to shoot back, or does shoot back indeed with NATO troops in the line of fire, is too high. This opera-Duce cannot be trusted. The whole manouver is very stupid idea anyway.
