One day I will get used to the Fact that , politicians always do the opposite of what you think they should do ! like taking sides with Georgia , and thumbing your nose to Russia ! I don't think it is O.K for Russia to just Bulldoze Georgia , but I also don't believe we should supply / Defend them either ! This Will Come back to bite us in the ASS !

TBILISI (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Joe Biden pledged Washington's strong support for Georgia a year after its war with Russia, urging Moscow to abide by a ceasefire and pull back its troops from two rebel regions.
But in a shift from the uncritical support offered to Tbilisi by former president George W. Bush, Biden balanced his remarks with criticism of Georgia's record on democracy and media freedom under pro-U.S. President Mikheil Saakashvili.
"We the United States stand by you on your journey to a secure, free, democratic and once again united Georgia," Biden said in an emotional speech to the Georgian parliament.
As tensions between Moscow and Tbilisi rise ahead of the anniversary of the war, Biden recalled hearing artillery bombardments as he sat on a rooftop with Saakashvili last year.
"I know there is some concern, and I understand it, that our efforts to reset relations with Russia will come at the expense of Georgia. Let me be clear: they have not, they will not and they cannot," he said.
