Georgian President Urges Europe To Be Tough With Russia | Europe | Deutsche Welle | 30.11.2008
Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili warned the European Union on Sunday not to make too many concessions to Russia in upcoming negotiations on a partnership agreement.

"Russia's smaller neighbours would view a decision by larger European countries to accept Russian aggression as treachery," he told the German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel in an interview released in advance of publication Monday.

 

The president was speaking ahead of Tuesday's resumption of talks on a new EU partnership deal with Russia that were suspended after Russian troops marched into Georgia in August.

And then what, exactly? What are you going to do about it, failed president Saakashvili? Cry and cry and cry and try to hind behind the skirts of the US? Ooooo, that makes us sooooo scared.
