The soviet union is back, and is trying to provoke Georgia so they can invade all of georgia this time. Pathetic and cowardly tactics.

I disagree. The Soviet Union does not exist anymore; it is Russia reasserting its right to protect its borders and its interests. Russia does not have to invade Georgia; Georgia is doomed already with the existing and patheric current president, who overestimated the support of the duo Cheney-Bush (or just followed their orders???). The people of Abkhazia deserve a self-determination path to grow and development. Russia will just provide some help to protect this small new nation.
