Too many comments for me to keep up with on this post…

Has anyone brought up the idea of the US arming the Georgians a la the mujahedeen in Afghanistan?

The US could drop a few thousand tons of weapons, ammo, MREs, night vision devices, and Javelin missiles to help the Georgians. It also has the benefit of helping to kill the same people who are helping Iran build a nuclear bomb.

Turn the Georgians into the new Mujahedeen. Ought to bring back good memories for those rampaging cossacks.
