MILLIYET- Last week South Ossetia unilaterally declared it was seceding from Georgia, and Russia, which supports the Ossetian people so as to divide Georgia, attacked Georgia. Russia has 23,000 tanks, and Georgia has only 128! Russia has 1,080 warplanes, but Georgia has only eight! All Russia had to do for its ends was to put its army into little South Ossetia, but instead it started a terrible war. Although Georgia withdrew from South Ossetia, Russia continued the fighting, and turned the Georgian city of Gori (outside South Ossetia) into a wreck, bombed the Black Sea port of Poti, and refused to reciprocate Georgia's cease-fire. Georgia now faces a terrible humanitarian disaster. As I was writing this, Russia just entered Abkhazia! Russia is clearly attacking Georgia without constraints and thus intimidating all the nations of the Caucasus!"
