The state of the Russian army ten years ago, during the war in South Ossetia, does not closely resemble the current situation when Russia shows itself in Syria, says the editor-in-chief of the Facts portal, Juro Bilbia. A retired Serb colonel, Professor Elijah Kaites, notes that in that war the Russian army received much experience with the command and mobilization system.
During the war in Georgia, all NATO masks fell, Ilya Kaitez said in the program of military and political analyst Miroslav Lazansky on Satellite, dedicated to the events of August 8, 2008 in South Ossetia.
“That war was demonstrative for Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia: these countries can go for rapprochement with the North Atlantic alliance, but without the territories where the Russian national corps resides,” the source said. He recalled that after ten years the question of Georgia’s accession to NATO is topical.
And the meaning of this topic is the geo-strategic environment of Russia, says the editor-in-chief of the Facts portal, Juro Bilbia. NATO wants to accept Georgia, even though it does not comply with the standards of the alliance.
According to him, the future of Georgia depends on the relations between Russia and NATO.
