Fox News reports that the cease-fire that the Russians are “going to sign” involves leaving Russian “peacekeeping” troops to remain in place:

This is a ceasfire that gives Russia what it wants, and the U. S. has lost twice: (1) Russian troops are now in Georgian by way of a signed piece of paper; and (2) Russia has made the U. S. blink, which means that Russia will continue to push.

These are gangsters who understand only force and the threat of force. Be prepared for the next move, possibly against Poland which has already been threatened.

We need to make Russia feel pain.

As for the Russophile cybercreeps commenting on this blog, I say to you: If Russia demonstrates on the world stage that it only responds to pain, then I believe that this country is, if pushed hard enough, ready and willing to provide it.

We need to have serious marshalling of units both in the U. S. and elsewhere, moves that are highly visible. I suggest flyovers by planes from carrier attack groups already in the Georgia area as a teaser.
