Russia, NATO in battle of wills over Georgia

This isn't about Russia, it's about GEORGIA and that little whiny punk Saakhashvili.

Georgia only wants to be in NATO so they can keep the South Ossetians and Abkhazians under their thumb. Georgia would never fight for us, they just want us to fight for them.

Remember, Georgia started the war last summer. Those who carefully analyzed Russia's troop movements said it was very clear that Russia was not planning to attack Georgia before the war broke out. Saakashvili told the United States he wanted to attack South Ossetia. The United States told him not to do it. We told him that he couldn't expect any military help from us, for obvious reasons. It would be insane for us to get into a shooting war with the Russians over Georgia.

So what happens? Saakashvili ignores our advice and attacks South Ossetia anyways. When the Russians come in and start giving him his well-deserved spanking, he whines to anybody and everybody at how horrible the US is for not coming in and fighting against the Russians, even though we'd told him before the war that we didn't want him messing with the Russians!

I don't want a country like that in NATO. If Saakashvili had been in NATO last summer he would have invoked Article 5 and could have started World War III, all because his Napoleonic ego can't tolerate the South Ossetians being free. Do you want American soldiers fighting and dying for somebody like that?
