Actually, that plans sounds very, well…. SOUND.

I had been toying with the idea of “air only” for a couple of days, but always brushed the thought aside, as surely we ALL know that “air alone won’t win the fight.”

But…

I couldn’t get the thought out of my mind that air is PRECISELY what this situation calls for. I think your post is spot on.

I like the idea of an American air presence (and who’s to say it’s not already there?), combined with re-supplied Georgian ground forces and American advisors.

I must say, I haven’t a clue as to the specifics, but the concept seems custom-made for this scenario. The Russians would be in serious, serious crap as long as they did anything but retreat.

Yes? No?
