The news from Georgia is pretty bad this week. Russia is conducting large scale war games right on the border, the OSCE monitors have left, protests continue to split the country, and observers are wondering if Barack Obama will even say the g-word during his visit to Moscow. Andrei Illarionov is predicting that if Russia has decided to re-invade Georgia, they will do so right after Obama’s visit.
This short video and article from RFE/RL takes a look at life in Gori, as the people attempt to rebuild their homes from the destruction of the last war while at the same time another invasion looms.
