What do you think Russia's next move will be?

Question

As of today, Russia has said they stopped their military operations in Georgia, but yet there is still bombing and shelling going on. What do you think will happen next? I think this whole deal was just Russia tested the west to see how they would respond to Russian aggression and well, they got their answer. I mean a month from now Russia could invade Ukraine using the same excuses they have with Georgia.

Answer 1

We need to drop a 100 Army Rangers in Georgia, they'll straighten Sh## out!  

Answer 2

i dont think Rusiia will dare that, Georgia was unfortunately the country by which the west and the world tought a lesson and they will be much more cautious with the other countries,,

its rediculous how the west and international organizations did it with Georgia, while the UN couldnt make a resolution to stop the fire, ppl were dying in the conflict zone,, the talk is not about some sanctions from UN towards Russia, they couldnt even make a simple resolution,,,

if the Un and the international society will be this inactive for the next time then Russia will regain Soviet Union again, but i think and i hope that never happens  

Answer 3

Russia was looking after there affairs. Why is everybody so arrogant as to assume that Russia gives a flying f**k what the west thinks. If they did go into the Ukraine next, which is very unlikely, who cares? what effect does it have on your life unless America gets involved and starts a war with them over something they need to stay out of.

Answer 4

Your comments are illogical. Are you forgetting or don't you know that it was Russia broke up the USSR and gave Georgia it's independence !

You say you think it was Russia testing the west. You haven't thought beyond one second. They could test the west in so many ways - this wasn't one of them. There was no point in them 'invading' Georgia other than to protect their own Russian people. America used the same reason in  Panama. Russia are not staying. Russia have not brought about regime change. It's clearly what they said - to protect Russians.

Why have you got it in your head that Russia is an expansionist state - do you have - any evidence - any facts-  any  logic -  for making your claims.?  Please try using your brain rather than coming out with this frightened, xenophobic trash.
