The war of words is here. Russia and NATO are showing signs of aggression against each other.

A team of 50 NATO staff members will to go to Georgia to help assess the needs of the Georgian military, aid the resumption of air traffic and assist in the investigation of cyberattacks on the former Soviet republic's computer networks. NATO plans to set up a NATO-Georgian Commission to oversee Georgia's relationship with the international alliance, supervise its bid to join the alliance and assist Tbilisi following the Russian invasion, Scheffer said.

But sources in the region are saying that Russia will confront NATO in a show of force with its nuclerar arms if needed. Russia will for a 1000 mile buffer zone from all parts of its border where NATO cannot form bases of alliance with anyone. That will literally keep NATO out of eastern Europe and Central Asia.

The Georgian conflict may be the start of the dreadful third world war.

The United States claims that Russia is trying to undermine the government of Saakashvili, who is pro-West and wants NATO to suspend all cooperation programs with Russia. Britain and several former Soviet republics support the idea, but other countries -- including France and Germany -- are less inclined to isolate Russia so aggressively.

The United States also wants Europe to cancel exchanges of personnel, lessen its energy dependence on Russia and postpone an EU-Russia summit scheduled for November.

Russian strategy is two prong that can surprise the Americans. One one hand they will bring their nukes in the forefront of the war of words. On the other hand they will cut of oil and gas supply to Europe bringing EU a devastating energuy shortage driven recession.
