Russian Army Repositions 25 Miles from T'bilisi

From the AP.

Russia has stationed its forces just 25 miles (40 kilometers) from the Georgian capital, in violation of the EU-brokered cease-fire that ended last year's brief war. And in recent weeks, it has sent even more troops and armored vehicles to within striking distance of the city ahead of street protests against Georgia's president.

Just in case you missed it, the Black Sea Fleet deployed 22 ships last week, including 3-4 amphibious ships with Marines.

Other news is reporting the protests against the Georgian President were 10,000 strong on Tuesday. With tomorrow being a big day for China, one wonders if Russia will invade Georgia. After all, they did it last time there was a big day in China, the opening day of the Olympics.

From where the Russian Army is, it is a 40 minute drive to the Georgian capitol. See previous analysis here.

I have no idea if Russia will actually do it, but I don't see anyone stepping in to stop them if they do.
