I’ll note that Fox News reports ongoing bombing attacks around Tbilsi by Russian air, and various probing attacks.

This seems an operational pause.

But really, what is remarkable is how un-Russian the Russians are fighting. Not like Grozny. But fast, rapid tempo, using speed to kill. They’ve learned from the US, considerably. Perhaps Georgia will be their laboratory as Spain was for Hitler (and Stalin). Tactics and weapons explored at a relatively low risk.

IIRC, the War Nerd predicted two years ago that wars by industrialized countries was passe because human nature had “evolved.” And that also, insurgencies were “unstoppable.” Both laughable assertions proven wrong.
