Well, this is going to affect politics for a log time. This means Russia is trying to assert its self and become a superpower again. There trying to rebuild the Svoiet Union. Also, what they did was inexusable.
Georgia was taking care of Rebels in there won country, then Russia goes and Bombs where the Georgians are bombing. Bu then they also decide to start bombing other cities.
Also, this will help John McCain. Because now there is this issue, and possible threat. And America realizes there is a threat. So the people are going to want a war experienced Republican who is tough, knows how to command an Army and is willing to go into a fight. John McCain is all of those. So for us Republicans, that just shot up are chances. Although i still think what happened in Georgia was, actually is because it is still going on, was horrible. I would have preferred it not have happened.
