For obvious reasons the Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili is seeking help from allies of Democracy, particularly the U.S. According to him, there was never any ceasefire, and it was all just a show, as military violence still rips through his country and war crimes are still committed left and right by Russian soldiers and South Ossetian rebels against even civilians.
The troops that mobilized yesterday into Georgia have turned left into a village north by about 50 kilometers away from Tbilisi and did not cut through Georgia like I thought they would (which is a good thing of course). It is still unclear to reporters, the citizens, or even the Georgian military or government officials what they are planning to do, but it is reported that they are trying to set up an enlarged demilitarized buffer zone around South Ossetia.
What's disturbing, however, is that they set it up so far away from South Ossetia (as normal buffer zones would only be several kilometers across). It's also unsettling how easily such a massive amount of Russian troops was able to move freely around Georgia with no resistance or reprimand. Georgians are concerned about how things might unfold.
I just hope all my thoughts and suspicions about this war are wrong.
