This situation with Georgia could be a strategic diversion that has been created for Russia so that Iran can be taken care of. A sort of trade off.

4 (four) naval battle groups will soon be operating in the Gulf for what a spokesman termed “force-protection policy.” Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the attack on Iraq only use one?

“U.S. Aircraft Carriers Head For The Gulf; Kuwait Prepares “Emergency War Plan”

http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7011874353

Operation Brimstone is a US/UK/French naval battle force currently that “WAS” conducting exercises as a show of force for Iran to capacitate to U.S. demands. But this already massive task force is currently being reinforced for what appears (to the layman) to be a strike force and or to create an air/land/sea blockade of Iran for certain key economic necessities.

Reports in the Kremlin today are stating that Prime Minister Putin has ordered the Defense Ministry of the Russian Federation to put the Volga-Urals Military District and Black Sea Fleet on ‘full war alert’ to prepare for the defense of the Iranian Nation against what is being termed as an ‘imminent attack’ being planned by the Western Powers.

I suppose it could all be a bunch of saber rattling but this is the perfect time (while many are distracted with the Olympics) to force Iran into a confrontation so as to then be able to declare a formal act-of-war supported by the people and even lefties.

The gamble is weather Russia will take the bait and commit large enough forces to Georgia so as to be unable to intervene with U.S. operations against Iran.
