Georgia

Georgia will soon be a memory, a small stain in the fabric of the XXI century. One think I must spit out: Europe stood there doing what it does best: NOTHING. USA bluffed a little, I give you that, but the bluff was easy to call. And UN, well, UN is simply unthinkable, why? Cos, as comment #5 perfectly put it:

Russia has a veto at the UN. Who in their right mind would think that the UN even has the power to do anything about it?

When a country invade another to conquer it, to fagocitate and they say so, when its foreign minister can go to the press and candidly declare:

...the world can forget about Georgia’s territorial integrity.

...then this country knows it is holding the whole planet by the jewels, this country is Russia and its zar is Vladimir Putin.
One thing is sure, Robert Kagan was right: history has returned, the world is spinning faster now and the XXI will not be after so boring as all the radical chic thought.
