....it's been much in the news lately and it could well be the spark to a new world crisis, no kidding..We are talking about Georgia..former component of the Soviet Union, of late under the influence of the USA..
It must be noted here that the USA should be extremely careful as to how to approach this scene, the movers and shakers of the Russian Federation have found their backbone thanks to the oil billions and the improved standard of living of their people.
At this time they appear to be firmly in control of the country.
While they admit that their controlled satellite states are gone from their direct influence to days Russians are having another look at the Soviet union components which have split off to become separate republics or countries if you will.
(Satellite states would be Poland, East Germany, Tchekoslovakia, Hungary,Yugoslavia and a host of others Romania-Albania, including the three Baltic states).
The two former components of the Soviet Union the Russians want to get back under their control would be The Ukraine and Georgia.

We must remember that the last foreign minister of the Soviets was a fellow named Edvard Shevardnadze born and educated in Georgia. The most Super soviet ever, Josef Stalin was a Georgian...in fact he refused to speak his native language and because his son never learned to speak Russian, Stalin refused to communicate with him.
It will be interesting how this flash point scene develops in the next few weeks but the point is that the Russians
have taken a stand and are in no way willing to bend to efforts of American Imperialism.
Two provinces of the Geogian Republic attempted to separate...
August 8/08 after Georgian troops tried to reclaim the breakaway province and launched an offensive involving heavy bombing of Tskhinvali,( wik link) Russian troops entered South Ossetia. Russian Troops also entered into Abkhazia. On August 10th, 2008 Russia entered Georgian territorial waters. Russia also entered into Georgian cities, and captured the main east west highway, effectively cutting the country in two. Both sides agreed to a cease-fire on August 12th, 2008, but on August 13th, 2008 Russia "violated " that cease-fire and sent troops and paramilitaries into the Georgian city of Gori.
