Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Russian Recognition
Just very recently Dmitry Medvedev said: Russia's Recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia is final. I am sure he is right about one thing, it is final for him and Mr. Putin. As oil prices fall, and world is deep in financial crisis, Russia's reserves are melting. Soon they will not be able to feed their own people and military. Medvedev's and Putin's days are numbered and extension of Presidential term will not help. With much less oil money coming, Russia won't be able to keep its own regions together.

As bad as the bloodying of Georgia is, the broader consequences
I'm sure many of you have already read this article posted by John Bolton on the AIE website ( http://www.aei.org/publications/filter.all,pubID.28474/pub_detail.asp )
The article is very powerful and analytical. It clearly states not just what had happened in Georgia and what Europe, as well as USA did, or should i say, DID NOT DO to support Georgia. But the article also gives a very good opinion on what will happen and SHOULD happen in the near future, with relations to Georgia, Russia, NATO, etc..
John R. Bolton is a very educated and well respected man. He is A Diplomat, A Lawyer and An Ambassador. And it makes me very happy that a person like him, who doesn't really have much of relation to Georgia, is keeping a clear mind in all this "mess" and Speaks up in favor of Georgia.
I know the article is little too long, But please read it.

Russian Funds
Hit where it hurts, and Russia feels invincible because it feels it has lots of money
I just noticed this:
At the last count, ordinary Americans had more than $3 billion at stake in mutual funds that invest in Vladimir Putin's Russia. That includes about $1.2 billion in the Market Vectors Russia exchange-traded fund (NYSE:RSX), 900 million in the Central European and Russian Fund (NYSE:CEE), $830 million in ING Russia (MUTF:LETRX) , and $330 million in the Templeton & East European Fund (NYSE:TRF)
Anyone has expertise about this?IIs there a way to put a pressure on these funds?
