Assuming the Russian force is armor-heavy it will suck fuel. Where is the resupply? Via Roki Tunnel and mountain passes in Abkhazia? What would happen if, say, those were closed by a few errant cruise missiles (as one commenter has already suggested)? The Russian force then depends on aerial resupply? Wouldn’t a few shipments of Stingers tend to make that a spectacular one-way run? After which the Russian armor is most useful as war monuments in the Tbilisi city square.

This could turn out reasonably well if we keep our nerve and take our time. Meanwhile the cameras should roll, recording the Russian “peacekeeping force” as it shells and bombs “military installations” like apartment blocks full of women and children. Putin has a lot to answer for, but I suspect his kleptocrat pals won’t let him live to face trial.
