Let's hope that all the powerful states will press for a peace solution there, otherwise "pax russiana" is the one obvious consequence.

Anyone else think this could get really big and really ugly?? Or do you think it will die down relatively soon and quickly??

Georgia is already backing down and suing for peace.
Realistically, Georgia has no chance if Russia decides to be truly serious - no chance at all. It would be like Puerto Rico declaring war on the US.

This really isn't a good thing. Putin is flexing his muscle against what essentially is a ally of the West. It puts all sides in a very awkward position. Now we go sticking our noses in there with these relief flights.
