Russian equipment does not have a reverse gear.

We need to toss Russia out of G8, have IOC retract awarding Russia Winter Games & get Ukraine fast tracked admission to NATO.

Is Georgia really worth starting WW3 over?

The actions I reflect will not lead to war. Russia wants to be part of the civilized world stage & their current actions do not warrant their membership in G8 or a nation that should hold an Olympics.

I did not say send in the stealth bombers to attack Russian equipment.

OK, fair enough. How do you think the Russians will respond if they are kicked out of the G8 and have the IOC pull the Winter Olympics? IMHO, this will isolate them and send them to partner up more closely with the likes of Iran and Syria. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Fasttracking Ukraine will cause Russia to invade the Ukraine. If a foreign power cozied up to Mexico to that degree, I believe we'd do the same. We almost started WW3 over the Russians being in Cuba in 1962 armed with nuclear weapons.

Russia is a country in decline. Their population is aging rapidly. They lose approximately 700K citizens per year because more people are dying than reproducing.

Is Georgia worth starting WW III????

As the situation is noe the answer id - No.

IF - the Russians only occupy the two break away regions and withdraw from the rest of Georgia.
