What the f**k is going on in: South Ossetia

When will Georgia ever learn?? OK, so Stalin divided Ossetia in 1922, giving the North to Russia and the South to Georgia. But that doesn't mean it's yours you idiots!! The South Ossetians have long pronounced a desire to join their northern brethren, and Russia is more than happy to have them. So surely Georgia would cede ground in such a scenario and let the natural order of things resume. If only they had the sense....
Temur "T-bone" Iakobashvili, the man with the world's worst job - Georgian Minister for re-integration of its rebel territories *- last week declared "Russia is not an honest broker, It's part of the problem, not the solution". Wrong T-bone... Russia is the problem, the solution, and the kitchen sink. Russia is everything!!! T-bone then claimed Russia was only supporting the South Ossetians to make up for the international community's support for Kosovan independence from Serbia earlier this year. Damn right they are!!! Haven't you been paying attention? To paraphrase a Serbian freedom fighter, Russia is "not violent, but I am vengeful". That, and the fact that Georgia is a slivering weasel in the way of the Russian juggernaut's path to world domination. "Get out of our way you slivering weasels!!!", Dmitri Medvedev was heard roaring towards Georgia last week.
So the way things stand Georgia has launched a few mortars and sniper rifles, and Russia seems ready to aid South Ossetian fighters with arms, cash and electricity. I know who my money is on, and they don't have a minister called T-bone. Much as in the Abkhazia debacle, the Georgians may well be left to feel the force, the force of Balla.

*Good old Temur was quoted last week as saying "I'd rather eat Mongolian yak testicles than do this stupid job"
