Internal Conflict within NATO on rushing troops to defend Georgia
There is a rising difference of opinion between the US and other NATO countries whether to send NATO troops to defend Georgia.
The French president has conveyed to the Russians that NATO will get involved if Russians do not withdraw voluntarily. However, Russians also know that the EU countries will not allow NATO to get involved as long as they do not run across the Georgia.
Americans want the NATO and the EU to get involved and pressure Russia to an unconditional withdrawal from the Georgian territory.
The Russian armed forces said on Monday they had started to withdraw troops from the conflict zone in Georgia.
”Thus far there isn’t any evidence we’ve seen. Let’s hope that this is a technical slowness in getting implemented... let’s see the Russians begin to pull back. That’s what we’d like to see, but we haven’t seen it yet.” the US official told reporters ahead of an emergency meeting of NATO foreign ministers on Tuesday.
The Georgians point to Russians that are pulling out after destrying all military infrastructure in the area. ”They are destroying everything and then pulling out of these places,” Georgian officials point out. ”If they call this a pullout, then I do not understand the meaning of the word.”
