And another thing I don’t understand: why the hell did they hand out Russian citizenship and passports to all those South Ossetians with such pomp? If you grant them citizenship, then you have to protect them. If Putin doesn’t want to protect them, then he shouldn’t be handing out passports in the first place. And now the Georgian Hitler is going to smash Tskhinvali and everything else there, Russia will issue yet another round of "Very Tough Statements," and then it will have to feed/help settle/find jobs for forty thousand refugee Russian citizens. Naturally, half of those refugees will also come to Moscow. And here they’ll demand housing and support. They have every right to. They are Russian citizens, after all.
