This was taking up so much space in the Daily News thread that I figured it deserved a separate topic.

For those of you who don't already know, Russia recently attacked Georgia (no, not the one with Atlanta), which was once a part of the Soviet Union. This attack is widely believed to have been unprovoked - it broke a ceasefire treaty between the two countries - and Russian forces remain in Georgian territory despite worldwide criticism of the apparent "land grab."

The tiny nation of Georgia has mounted resistance against the invasion, but they're simply overpowered by the Russian army, which has virtually total control over the South Ossetia region. Georgian leaders have offered a new ceasefire treaty, but Russian leaders refuse to sign it.

The Russian government recently said they would begin pulling out of Georgia on Monday; thus far they have made no such moves, and are now apparently ceasing cooperation with NATO.

This situation is getting a lot more interesting, and a lot more dangerous. You know the drill... discuss.
