Then Happy Times will be happy

Seriously, what he said was if NATO attacks Abkhazia or South Ossetia (why should NATO do that?) then it would be an attack on Russia.
He also added that he doesn't believe that to be NATO's intention.
According to the russian newspaper article quoted in this iranian(!) one.
Also, this statement was made by Rogozin, the NATO ambassador.
A tough talker from a nationalist russian party and actually one of NATO's sharpest critics.
Many sources suspect he has been sent to NATO mainly to piss them off.

I think the US sent a clear message to the russians by not sending a ship to Poti.
They avoided a direct encounter of US and Russian forces.
