Russia v. Georgia

[A Black Falcon]

Why even bother signing a cease-fire agreement if you're just going to ignore it? To make it look like you're doing something the US and Europe want? But when actions are the opposite, it's pretty clear that you consider the agreement irrelevant... so why bother in the first place?

To Russia "cease fire" seems to clearly mean "take and keep for some time all of the Georgian territory we're currently holding and more, until we can change their government in favor of a pro-Russian one"...
