My Way News - Russia rolls into Georgia, rolls back the clock
AP reports: "The move stunned many in the U.S. and Europe. But it was the result, at least in part, of factors the West has never really understood: Russia's wounded pride over its loss of the Soviet empire, its fear of NATO expansion along its borders and its anger over being treated as a backwater in Europe rather than a global power."

Comment: This report gives a good overview of the latest developments with Russia, it explains why Russia is unhappy with the current international system and willing to take risks to improve their position.
