Georgia on my Mind
It appears that the Bush administration has encouraged strongman Saakashvili of Georgia to invade South Ossetia, perhaps even promising support in the event of a Russian military pushback. If so, it was another betrayal in a long list of Bush family betrayals, and the Georgians were fools to believe for one second that the U.S. would come to their aid. Georgia is not worth a nuclear war, or even the risk of one, however slight.
If one assumes, however, that Bush had a purpose in bringing this disaster upon Georgia, it is likely that he has done it with the intent to poison U.S. relations with the Russians, and thus present President Obama next January 20 with the gift of a new Cold War that he will find extremely difficult to abate.
It’s a variation of the scorched earth policy.
