Is this question at all related to what we were discussion above? Can you expand or explain the relevance? I can't think of a reply because it doesn't seem significant.

I put that in because you mentioned Russia's outdated nuclear arsenal, I was wondering how much of America's are relics from the Cold War. I know the UK is only now planning on renewing our nukes.
And I remember reading how the Russian army a few years back were planning on a major reform following all the continuted failings in Chechnya. Could this invasion of Georgia be real life training?
And with oil prices, I'm sure that money will be ploughed back into strengthening Russia, so when the oil does run out, it should be able to still be strong. Let's not forget, western strength is entirely reliant on oil, without it we can do nothing.
Oh just remembered something. A gas pipeline was built throught Georgia to bypass Russia, reducing Europe's dependance on Russian oil. anyone else think that this invasion is possibly an attempt to fully retake control over European oil and gas?

All good points Tommy, but can America act unilaterally again? Is there enough manpower (and political will), what with being bogged down in Afghanistan? Europe relies on Russian oil far more than the US does, and countries like the UK, Germany and France would be needed to take on Russia right now.

Probably, but not nearly enough disposable troops.
