Actually, for all the teasing (and, I hope he sees it as no more than that) I hope “Russian Bear” sticks around. He’s got his view, but he makes some decent points–as Konyok says, and as I’ve posted a couple of times on these numerous threads, I think that the Kodori Gorge issue is a bit of a sideshow re: any real Russian incursion into Georgia proper. Kodori Gorge is more about a micro-issue of national fiefdoms, kind of like how many ethnic Georgian villages in S. Ossetia Georgia gets to keep when Russia annexes S. Ossetia. Not unimportant, but not my main cup o’ tea.
