Do we really want to get down in the mud and wrestle with the Russian Bear right now?

The match is now. It's fish or cut bait time.

I predict we whine and cut bait.

Agreed on both counts. We will not engage. It will be interesting to see what happens if the bear swallows up Georgia though. Seems to me we established a rather clear doctrine when Saddam swallowed up Kuwait. I predict Russia doesn't go quite that far, settling for allowing them to be "autonomous", but with Russian tanks in every town square. More like the Syrian-Lebanese model. Or the China-North Korea.
