(Compiler's note: Shame on us -- America now has a problem. We've been backed into a corner by Russia. Our own national security as it relates to Iran and the Middle East hings on our on-going decisions, actions and speech with regard to this event(s). Somebody please look again deeply and tell me what you see in Putin's eyes. Lets stop making our national strategy on such shallow thinking. People need to understand that this is global chess -- and NOT a 'game' without consequences. We choose our actions, but the other side has a say in the consequences we face. And yes it does affect the American people. rca)

The Russian invasion of Georgia has not changed the balance of power in Eurasia. It simply announced that the balance of power had already shifted. The United States has been absorbed in its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as potential conflict with Iran and a destabilizing situation in Pakistan. It has no strategic ground forces in reserve and is in no position to intervene on the Russian periphery. This, as we have argued, has opened a window of opportunity for the Russians to reassert their influence in the former Soviet sphere. Moscow did not have to concern itself with the potential response of the United States or Europe; hence, the invasion did not shift the balance of power. The balance of power had already shifted, and it was up to the Russians when to make this public. They did that Aug. 8.
