Who's Next?

Georgia's been rocked back and its still unclear whether Russia really intends to hold their current ground or keep advancing, and already the next target may be in Russia's sights.

"As the West pressed for peace, Russian Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn was quoted by Interfax News Agency on Friday as saying that by accepting a U.S. missile defense battery Poland "is exposing itself to a strike."
He pointed out that Russian military doctrine permits the use of nuclear weapons "against the allies of countries having nuclear weapons if they in some way help them," Interfax reported."

So having taken out a prospective NATO member, now they're eying a recent one (Poland joined in 1999). Hopefully they won't choose to bait that tiger yet; I'm not sure NATO is anything but a paper tiger at this point.
