What will it take for NATO to accept Georgia?

Question

What is required for Georgia to join NATO and what is holding NATO back

Answer 1

They won't now. It looks like Georgia is going to be in conflict with Russia, and is going to be re-opening the separatist can of worms. A nation in such a conflict is going to have a tough time getting other nations to step up as full-fledged allies. Instead we'll see UN peace keepers moved into the conflict.

Answer 2

Russia.

Russia doesn't like NATO encroaching on it's territory (the CIS).

Answer 3

Fear of Russia I say **** Russia the want to start **** we can beat them we ened to help our ally what Russia is doing is not right i see this as liek before ww2 Germany was invading little countries "to protect their foreign nationals" in little former part of Germany that they lost after ww1 sound filimar Russia is invading Georgia "to protect their foreign nationals in a former S.Union state" if we let them get away with this whos next the rest of Europe this seems liek ww2 all over again.....
