Russia confronts NATO - recognize Georgia rebel regions as a counter punch to NATO initiatives
Russian warships are in the black sea. Russian lawmakers are busy recognizing the breakaway regions of Georgia as independent countries. Russian Military is holding key posts to counter any NATO military moves.
NATO and the United States are moving to indirectly pressurize Russia into unconditional withdrawal from all parts of Georgia. The US and NATO moves are not working. Russian President Madvadev is no Gorbachev who will back down from confrontation with the United States.
As a sign of total defiance to west’s political and diplomatic moves, Russia's parliament unanimously approved on Monday resolutions calling for the recognition of two rebel regions of Georgia as independent states, a move likely to worsen already strained relations with the West.
Medvedev, who was working in the resort of Sochi, just along the Black Sea coast from Abkhazia, did not immediately comment on the resolutions, but said ties with NATO had "worsened sharply" as a result of the Georgia conflict.
"We are ready to take any decision, up to halting relations altogether," he said at a meeting in Sochi with Dmitry Rogozin, the Russian envoy to NATO.
In the South Ossetian capital Tskhinvali, jubilant residents drove down Stalin Street with South Ossetian and Russian flags hanging out of the windows, thrusting their arms into the air and shouting "Victory, Victory."
