So Russia invades Georgia, our staunch ally. Its president plantively says,
“It’s not about Georgia any more,” Saakashvili said. “It’s about America, its values: we are a freedom-loving nation that is right now under attack.”
What if George had been admitted to NATO recently, as per its application, instead of being given a preliminary status? Would the NATO nations have come to its defense? I doubt it. Nor will the USA. Once again, as we did with Hungary, we may watch an Eastern European nation get swallowed up as it begs for help.
How far do you think we’ll let Putin go in reestablishing Russian hegemony in Eastern Europe? Who do you think will deal more effectively with resurgent Russia, Obama or McCain? Any ideas about what we should do?
