he is the father of a good friend of mine and is incredibly knowledgeable on his subject matter expertise; crime within the russian state...he is not an idiot by any stretch and lived there for nearly a decade, but shouldnt have been described as a leading authority on all things Russian, especially about Georgia's territorial border disputes, or even the Russo-Georgian relationship, which has never been part of his research or news coverage focus
Satter is a guy who will to anything to deride Russia. He also took part in films by conspiraloons where Russian citizens were murdered in terrorist attacks. Typical CNN brainwashing. Americans sit back and think they are learning about the world from these cranks.
Only Kremlin "decide" what independence means for Georgia, and reserve the right to "peace-keep" georgians to death within Georgia proper and kill of pesky european journalists with airstrikes and murder independent russian journalists in Moskva even, all the while screaming "bloody murder" and point to an alledged massacre on the S ossetians.
Yet will not allow any impartial 3rd party investigate that claim?
Hoover Institute = neoconservative thinktank. These sort of people are the only 'experts' they allow on major media in the USA. In fact, some of these 'experts' on Russia do not even speak Russian. Hell, they kept claiming Condi Rice was fluent when she was first appointed National Security Advisor and I saw her embarrass herself on Russian Channel One (ORT) when journalists asked her to respond in po-russky!

How refreshing to hear a reasoned point of view with regard to Russian aggression. Keep telling it like it is David Satter.

Russia should have taken Georgia just to push the USAs buttons.
USAs government should just shut their mouths, the entire world doesnt trust what the USA says anymore.
CNN is just a vehicle for the U.S. administration to spoon feed the sheep of the world!

Well if Russia put missile interceptors in Cuba, America would protest that Cuba is in America's backyard. This is double standards.

LOL he said that the USA was training the Georgian army so it will not be easy for the Russian.
It did not take the Russians long to choke the Georgians out of South Ossetia.
Some expert on Russia.He should not leave his day job.
