So, Georgia now has its country cut in half, but what about the U.S., which had troops on the ground in Georgia, and Georgian troops in Iraq?

Well, Europe is now pushed towards the U.S. because of the threat of Russia. Likewise, all the other former Soviet controlled Eastern European countries are now being pushed toward the US with Poland agreeing to a missle defense system despite Russian protests. I mean isn't it amazing? The weakest country, Georgia, decides to pick a fight with Russia, and sounds genuinely surprised that the US isn't there to back it up. Indeed, did the presense of US troops in Georgia give it a false sense of security? Was this by design?

Now, the Ukraine and Poland are pushed closely to the US and away from Russia, and Europe is forced to acquiece with US strategy in the middle east or else they will be dependent on oil from a hostile nation, Russia. So, perhaps France and Germany will stop yapping about the U.S.'s occupation of Iraq, and recognize that they need it to avoid dependency on Russia. Indeed, maybe they will even provide some troops if the threat from Russia were to escalate.
