Saber rattling should be taken seriously because at the very least a cold war will result from it. The scary part that concerns me is that several scriptures in Christianity point to "the bear rising" in the end times. The Soviet Union was always associated with the bear. It wouldn't be a stretch for that region to reunite and go communist again. We really need to stay the fuck out of these places though. Let the almighty UN handle it with out us because it's in their yard.

The United Nations is a joke. They can't enforce crap. Sure they bring nations together to talk but they usually can't really lay down the law. I give them props for their great humanitarian aid. And trade influences.

NATO on the other hand would have been different. Georgia should have waited until it finally became a member before getting into any conflict. You would think that the Russian invasion was planned to attack before the Georgians could even join, in my opinion, I believe it was. Russia didn't like hearing the talks of them joining because they wouldn't be able to touch them if they did become part of NATO. Too late now.
