RUSSIA DEFIES GEORGIAN DEAL - UPDATED*******

NYTIMES: Russia Keeps Some Troops in Georgia, Defying Deal

Nearly eight months after the war between Russia and Georgia, Russian troops continue to hold Georgian territory that the Kremlin agreed to vacate as part of a formal cease-fire, leaving a basic condition of that agreement unfulfilled.

The Russian military, working with the governments and the small military forces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, two separatist regions in Georgia, has stationed forces in two large swaths of territory that were under Georgian control before the war. Observers and diplomats say Russia has also used attack helicopters and stationed tanks in areas where none existed before the war.

The sustained Russian military presence on land captured last summer — evident during two recent days spent in the area by two reporters — provides a backdrop of lingering disagreement between the West and Russia at a crucial time: The Obama administration is pledging to recalibrate the relationship with Russia, restore cooperation in other areas and explore a new treaty on nuclear arms.

WHAT WILL OBAMA DO: WILL HE APPEASE RUSSIA OR DEMAND THEY LIVE UP TO THEIR AGREEMENTS.


THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE TESTS BIDEN PROMISED US.

I BET OBAMA FAILS THIS TEST.

AND WE - AND OUR ALLIES - LOSE.

*******UPDATE:

• ON THE HEELS OF THIS OBVIOUS RUSSIAN TREACHERY, MEDVEDEV CALLS OBAMA HIS "COMRADE" ...

• ...AND OBAMA ANNOUNCES HE WANTS A SWEEPING NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT TREATY WITH RUSSIA . . .
  

• . . . PUTIN'S RUSSIA WHICH CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO ADHERE TO LITTLE TREATIES WITH GEORGIA.
  

• THERE IS NOW NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT OBAMA - AS A "GOOD LITTLE POSTMODERN LEFTIST" IS RUINING THE USA AND FREE WORLD ON PURPOSE.

• LIKE MOST LEFTISTS, HE WANTS THE USA "HUMBLED", FREEMARKETS SHACKLED, AND INDUSTRIALISM "REIGNED IN". AND HE WANTS THE FREE WORLD TO BE DEFENSELESS - AGAINST RUSSIA, CHINA AND SOON IRAN.

THIS WILL LIKELY BE A DISASTER FOR HUMANITY OF UNPARALLELED DIMENSIONS - IF WE DON'T FIND A WAY TO STOP OBAMA.
