Feeling the heat

Article Abstract:

The standoff between Russia and Georgia is mainly due to Georgia's tilt to the West and the implications for managing Moscow. The doubling of the price of gas Russia sells to Georgia, including the banning of Georgian imports into Russia, especially the fabled wine and mineral water, the cutting of transport, telecommunications and postal links, are some of the main reasons for the emerging cold war between the two countries.
