After the recent conflict in the Caucasus and Russia's recognition of both South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states, Russia continues to defy the West and the pledges made in the ceasefire agreement, by planning to keep about 8000 troops in the region.
Is the West being hypocritical in refusing to recognise South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states, after its recent support and recognition of Kosovo's independence? Should Georgia be encouraged to join NATO? And how concerned should we be over the frosty relationship that's developing between Russia and the West?
