Stingers mean no air superiority. No air superiority means no support for armor which means no support for infantry which means no occupation of territory which means, Damn those Russians are dumb! I hope they troll here too so they'll pick up this tidbit.

Could be they host large numbers of Chechen refugees. IMO Putin suspects this place of being a staging ground, the secession of a provience filled with people asserting Russian citizenship is just giving him a chance to weigh rule over the oil artery to the EU. Putin's government made such claims prior: <blockquote>Moscow says the Chechen guerrillas use remote border areas of Georgia as a staging ground for their fight in the name of ending Moscow's rule over the north Caucasus region.</blockquote> Colin Powell was the acting Secretary at the time, Boucher handled the press statement. This could be Vlad's way of marking his turf. It's all about the oil, but when blood and oil mix it can really ignite. Why Georgia?
