Georgia Is Regaining Strength

Mikheil Saakashvili, President of Georgia ( in French) | August 7, 2009

One year after the Russian invasion, Georgia continues to draw nearer to its western allies. ++ “The Kremlin is forced to discover that few points of its agenda have succeeded.” ++ Despite the Georgia peace plan signed by President Medvedev, Russian troops have not retreated. ++ Moscow must realize that new western ideals do not pose a threat to the Kremlin. ++ The Georgian Government appreciates the international community’s refusal to acknowledge the occupied territory and strives to include itself in the western democratic circle.

I like this comment! What's this?
Regaining strength? Drawing nearer to its western allies? Those western allies let Georgia hang to dry in August of 2008 and the country has effectively been Cypriotized for generations to come; bitter truth is, those western allies will not risk their necks for a small medieval mafia-run rogue state like Georgia with so little to offer economically and strategically. I hope Saakashvili got the chance to take a few courses outside of Law School when he was in the US, such as Portfolio Investment Management: This shows the risk of what happens when you put "all of your eggs" in one basket (NATO).
