Update: "Bear Resurgent"

In this post I wanted to do a follow up so as to show some of the aftermath that has followed the Russian invasion of Georgia. As a side note I would like to commend the BBC's coverage of these issues. I suppose Britain cares a lot more about Russia then we do. Great work!


-Russian president Medvedev has unveiled 5 new main principals that will guide Russian foreign policy from now on. I would like to point out #'s 4 and 5, which addresses points I attempted to make in the last post.

-The BBC conducted an investigation into claims of war crimes committed by both sides. Based on their conclusions they suspect the Georgian army did in fact attack civilians in the South Ossetia.

-Russian troops have now left their "buffer positions" inside Georgia. There are now no Russian troops in Georgia, but over 7000 troops will stay in the two separatist’s areas.

-During the conflict the Russian Black Fleet, based in the Ukraine, was used in the fighting. The president of the Ukraine tried to limit the movements of the fleet and then called for the Ukraine to kick the Russian navy out. This is strikingly similar to the Georgian conflict.
