Give me one good reason why Russia SHOULDN'T conquer Georgia
I mean seriously, one good reason. My reasoning:
There is no way in hell any NATO countries, including the Great Satan, will physically intervene in the conflict by sending troops.
They won't even provide air support! (Airlifted "Humanitarian Aid", is a possibility, however.)
Why? Because even though Russia has been portrayed as a basket-case for the last decade and a half, they still have the nuclear and conventional forces to deter any potential adversaries (ie. the Great Satan and/or its NATO stooges). For all practical purposes, it is like dealing with the old USSR.
Who helped out Afghanistan when the USSR invaded in 1980? As Mel Lastman always used to say, NOOOBOOOODY!
Which segues nicely into the next possibility: sanctions, UN-related or otherwise.
Not going to happen. Russia is a permanent member of the UN Security Council and they can veto anything they don't like, just like the Great Satan did when it invaded Iraq.
Any other sanctions (ie. Group of 7 or whatever) will never be enacted because Russia directly controls 25% of Europe's energy purchases.
So no intervention, no effective sanctions. Why shouldn't Russia go all the way and install a pro-Russia regime, especially when doing so would allow control over the pipelines that were routed through Georgia specifically to avoid Russian control?
Someone has got their Game On, and it is definitely not the Great Satan.

Damn why can't I post full links >:(
What makes you think they are not going to invade Georgia? I think it is done deal.
The second anon seems to misunderstand. There is a huge difference between invading and conquering.
Invading can be limited to 'a short sharp lesson'. Conquering means the total capitulation of the victim and, more often than not, the installing of a puppet government (like we have now in Iraq and Afghanistan).
