Russian military exercises on Georgian soil.

The Russian Army is up to its Summer Exercises in the North Caucasus again, with all the logistical and maneuver activities one would expect of such readiness exercises, but this time things are a bit different.

They are happening on occupied Georgian territory as well. This isn't exactly a way to make friends, given what came after last year's exercises wound down...

This year's round is scheduled to end on July 6th, which coincidentally is the date of a visit by the American President B. Obama to Moscow.

With all the logistics in place, and troop formations at best levels about then, it sure would be too bad if something happened to Georgia around that time, wouldn't it?
