The Georgians clearly have nothing to fight them with. Those tanks would be easy prey for us… The Georgians clearly have nothing to fight them with.

Just looking at what happened in Hungary in 1956, or Czechoslovakia in 1968, the invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, or Cechnya in the 1990's should have suggested that they should lay in a good supply of anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles and jam-resistant communications equipment. Without some initiative on their part, there is ultimately very little anyone can do to save them. I'll bet you'll find government corruption and infiltration underlying this fiasco. They would have been better off just arming the general population. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956_Hungarian_Revolution#Soviet_intervention_of_November_4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Pact_invasion_of_Czechoslovakia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_war_in_Afghanistan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Chechen_War#Prelude_to_the_Second_Chechen_War It’s certainly not obvious that the Georgians did much to prepare for a predictable response from the Russians.

The Georgians need to go on a big weapons buying spree in case the Russians try and capture their nation again.

I did see one video where it showed Russian soldiers looking at crates of 3 foot missles. Not sure what kind. But they said the Georgians threw down their weapons and ran. Pickups? No military vehicles? Amen to all of the above.
