#1 VARIOUS POSTERS > argue/opine that Georgia is a US-NATO protectorate hence Dubya + NATO cannot NOT do anything to help agz Russia unless are wiling to risk international humiliation and degradation.

Lest we fergit, YELTSIN DOCTRINE = PUTIN DOCTRINE = VLADVEDEV/MEDVEDEV DOCTRINE? - RUSSIA RESERVES ITS MILPOL NATIONAL- AND SOVEREIGN RIGHTS TO PROTECT ITS CITIZENS ABROAD, BY ANY AND ALL MEANS NECESSARY, INCLUDING BY MILITARY FORCE + WARFARE, AND AS SOLELY DETERMINED BY RUSSIA ALONE AS TO ITS INTERESTS.

* PUTIN DOCTRINE SCOPE > iff a major Terror attack(s) occurs agz Russia as emanating or originating from
any foreign sovereign nation outside of Russia [read - CONUS-CANUSA-NORAM], RUSSIA - IFF IT SO DECIDES/CHOOSES TO - RESERVES ITS NATIONAL RIGHT TO UNILATERALLY USE MILITARY AND NUCLEAR FORCE TO ATTACK AND DESTROY SAID SAME TERROR BASE(S), EVEN WITHOUT NEED OF ANY PRE-CONSENT FROM SAID SAME SOVEREIGN NATION(S). Not that Russia will, but it wil do what Rus alone determines is needed or required to be done to serve and protect Russ-specific security and interests. IOW, RUSSIA IFF IT CHOOSES CAN LAUNCH A SURPRISE
"BOLT-FROM-THE-BLUE" CONVENTIONAL, NUCLEAR, ANDOR SPECOPS ATTACK AGZ ANY TERROR GROUP LOCATED IN ANY NON-RUSSIAN FOREIGN COUNTRY WITHOUT GIVING ANY ADVANCE WARNING.

*MEDVEDEV > RUSSIA WILL STAY ACTIVE IN THE CAUCASUS.

#5 China should do the same in Siberia. Patience. If the Russians decline to populate that part of the world, the Chinese are fully willing & able to do so.
