Turn Greece into another Ukraine?
It looks like ol' Victoria may be at it again.

Could This Be The Start Of World War III?
Could that be that, by going to war with Georgia, that Russia is getting back at the West for recognizing Kozovar independence from Serbia?
In March, as Washington went ahead to recognize the independence of Kosovo in former Yugoslavia, making Kosovo a de facto NATO-run territory against the will of the United Nations Security Council and especially against Russian protest, then president (now Prime Minister) Vladimir Putin responded with Russian Duma (parliament) hearings on recognition of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transnistria, a pro-Russian breakaway republic in Moldova.
Moscow argued that the West's logic on Kosovo should apply as well to these ethnic communities seeking to free themselves from the control of a hostile state. In mid-April, Putin held out the possibility of recognition for the breakaway republics. It was a geopolitical chess game in the strategic Caucasus for the highest stakes - the future of Russia itself.
Hell, you might say that the current president of Georgia is doing his Abe Lincoln impersonation.
Besides, this is none of our goddamned business. Why do we keep shoving our noses into other countries' affairs?
The time has come to pull the plug on NATO.
