Please tell me why Russia supports muslim rebels in Abkhasia?!?

PS - I really like Russians, lived there for many years, and even married one - but I wouldn't over rate their military capabilities or leadership. Just look at what trouble the chechens have caused since early 90's.

Georgians - like most folks down in caucuses - can be extremely martial.

Historically, Russia usually gets asses handed to them by smaller, highly motivated militaries (remember finland?).

Guerrilla warfare is hard to control. Problems such as this can only be solved on the diplomatic front.

Ask the US military who got its behind kicked in Vietnam (ask that republican presidential candidate with metal plates and screws holding his ugly face together). And.....now in Iraq.

Russian forced crushed the German bastards from the east which made it easier for the Americans to push in the west during WWII.

The Georgians, and their young president in particular, have a big mouth.

Georgia wouldn't be able to hold its ground for 2 minutes.

The reason the Russians kicked the Germans around was because the American General 'George Patton' was going through them like crap through a goose.

We could use a couple of him now a days in the middle east, especially in regards to dealing with Iran and its proxys.

No left wing soft politicaly correct pandering, just do what you've got to do to WIN.

Patton never came anywhere near Russia, and the great armored commander could only listen in on intelligence reports concerning the greatest armored contest of all time going on in Kursk without him.

As for Georgia, the Russians should decidedly assist Abkhazia on a massive scale, and they will certainly do just that.

Patton was held up due to political horse pooh.
The Germans were amazed at the true warrior and were on the run.
Again, a couple more Patton's is what we need NOW.
