Much like SF18C I was there last week as well. As far as we understood from open source stuff the Russians were staging 300+ tanks and troops on the border as well as other elements. The Georgians we were training were much more concerned with getting the rest of thier country back than with being the 3rd largest supporter in Iraq
The fact that the Russians waited until we left does not suprise me. What does suprise me is the statements made by Georgia. In my opinion the Georgians just got alot of help from the US and now felt they could push some of the Russian peacekeepers back without being scolded to much because they have made an honest effort to help the US and join NATO
