Saakashvili’s government naively believed that, by virtue of their military relations and the United States, Russia will not dare to move it any, but the result was trounced Russian, almost perished. U.S. and Russian strategic interests to exchange, in exchange for Russian support on Iran, temporarily abandoned Georgia, is ultimately just verbal condemnation of the Russian government.

from geopolitical theory, can understand the Vietnamese diplomatic options, but it has to be careful, do not played the fire, accidentally becomes the victim of great power game. (Li Mingbo)
