I think these conflicts will pop up sporadically, seeings how they have a virtual stockpile of Soviet goodness in their backyard. The T-54/55, T-62, T-72, BMP's, BRDM's etc.. (armor) all can basically run with very little mantinance done on them. Most of the equipment was built by peasants, for peasants, so it'll work. I deffinately don't see Russia backing down, but I don't think Georgia will either. Could get a little drawn out, but not as bad as Chechnya.
