Conrad73: I wonder,how much control the Central Government has over its Military,or if it is the Private Domain and Fighting Force of Putin.
Interesting too,Dude having to leave so sudden!
They had control problems of the various stan and cis state units under the Soviet Union. Each felt mixed loyalities. But this is a
Russian Army that is in Georgia......so my thinking is that they
are playing by the rules set in Moscow. Or trying to.
But said that...there seems to be Russian Georgian militias.....from the two breakaway provinces.....that are aiding them with recon and intel.
The one news report I read on Gori......said it was these milita
groups from the provinces that were doing the cleansing....
Still it all falls at Putin and Medevdev feet.
Moscow today made the statement to forget Georgia terrritorial
intergrity (borders). Which just means they are going to carve this country up to thier liking.
