I speak/text/e-mail daily with my friends in Tbilisi, and it appears tensions are pretty high among the population.

I don’t think anyone believes Russia will physically move on Tbilisi, but it is in the back of everyone’s mind.

What’s confounding to me is the lack of pressure, from any quarter, to put the Bear back in its cage.

With the upcoming NATO “Partnership for Peace” exercises, it should prove to be a very interesting month.
