Was his command vehicle radiating signals like a lighthouse I wonder?

We’re told that Georgia shot down Russian jets. Where did they get the technology to do that?

Wretchard is stressing intelligence as a major factor in this confrontation, and if I’m reading him correctly he thinks satellite eyes in the sky like we’re using on Al-Queda in Iraq and Afghanistan can be used by Georgia on the Russians. Now, I’m pretty sure that Georgia doesn’t have it’s own satellites, let alone drones and all the rest of the big boy toys that let you pinpoint a commander in his command vehicle to zap him.

So doesn’t that, too, mean that America would be very much aiding and assisting Georgia in their efforts?

We have bunches of big boats steaming in that direction to match up with the big boats the Russians have headed that way.

It seems to me that what we’re looking at is a confrontation of the Russian Bear going toe-to-toe with Uncle Sam with poor little Georgia stuck smack dab in the middle, just like Kruschev and JFK did over Cuba, except this time the proxy is in Russia’s sphere and not ours.

As far as the danger involved in humiliating Russia, they’ve been humiliated so many times before they should be used to it by now, and really really good at it.

I also think this would be a hell of a time for Israel (and/or the Pentagon) to nuke Iran, although it seems a bit of a reach to think that Putin would be any part of a plan put together by Western civilization to save itself.
