What Good Is Russia's Word?

CNN reports that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has signed a cease-fire with Georgia. However, Russia will not completely withdraw from Georgian territory until its troops have supposedly finished cleaning up ammunition, weapons and boobytraps left behind by Georgian troops.

Knowing that a Russian signature on a piece of paper has no value, what exactly this means to the security and sovereignty of Georgia is questionable. Russia eill use any excuse to retake the old soviet empire.

The return of the old Russia driven by comrade Putin is even threatening Poland, saying that Poland is now at risk of attack, perhaps with nuclear weapons. This is a Russia that wants peace? Nothing has changed, they are still the enemy.
