It's clear that Russia was prepared for this attack. I would think shame and disgust is what Russians would feel knowing what their country is doing to a free and fairly elected democratic nation of just 4.6 million. Russia has lied to the United States by going further that their stated campaign to "protect" those in South Ossetia. The consequences of the U.S. pulling intel. resources after 9/11 from Russian interests to Islamic interests is now showing.
The Georgia President has vowed that they will fight til their death before giving up their Democracy for A Russian puppet. It would boggling if this is what Russia's goal is, to have another Chechnya supported by the west in their backyard? Then again, the game is called Russian Roulette.
