It is been logically posited that Ukraine is “next on the list”.
My guess is that sometime next winter, when the ground is frozen, Mother Russia will close the gas valves that supply Ukraine. “Oops, we have a problem here.” There will be gestures and recrimination, loud talk. After a few weeks pass,when the Ukrainians are literally freezing, the Panzers will roll into Ukraine from Russia and the Ukrainians will knuckle under. NATO will do nothing, the US will be between governments, and will be hamstrung.

I am begining to think that the timing of the Georgian adventure is actually meant as a prelude to the more valuable Ukraine. Georgia now, in fair weather. Ukraine next, in the cold of winter, when Russian leverage is greatest.

Welcome to the New World Order.
