It seems that after signing the cease-fire agreement with Georgia, Russia has decided that the West (i.e., our blustering president and very busy military) has no teeth. The proof is in the Russians' actions. Russia will maintain 18 'observation posts' inside Georgia.
That's 'inside' Georgia. Not inside South Ossetia and nowhere near the locations outlined in the cease-fire agreement (i.e., their pre-August 7th positions outside of South Ossetia). The Russians realize that our skilled tactician of a President is just pissing into the wind when he threatens them with consequences.
With no one to stop them, where will the Russians go next?
