The Russians appear to be trying to reduce Georgia to Vichy French status, so an occupied zone and a rump state probably fill their bill at the moment. Putin has to have a Georgian state to legitimize whatever terms he finally decides he wants to impose, and Vichy Georgia can serve as a useful example to other recalcitrants. I’m thinking more of the Stans than the Ukraine or the Baltic States.
