俄國對格魯吉亞5天的軍事打擊，在西方世界的壓力下，收手了。直接結果是，俄國對南奧塞梯及阿布哈茲完成了軍事占領。但是，俄國以大欺小，對其鄰國主權與內政的暴力幹涉，暴露了其霸權本質與戰略意圖，從而將周邊的其他１1個獨聯體現有成員國，推向西歐，最終結果是，加快了他們投靠西歐與北約的速度。格魯吉亞危機， 也給北約與美國造就了機會，以救援為名，美軍與北約一步到位，聯盟格魯吉亞，對俄國造成了兵臨城下的態勢。
獨立國家聯合體（獨聯體）
獨聯體是獨立國家聯合體 (Commonwealth of Independent States -- CIS) 的簡稱。１９９１年１２月８日，蘇聯的三個加盟共和國——白俄羅斯、俄羅斯、烏克蘭三國的領導人在白俄羅斯的別洛韋日簽署了一項關於成立獨立國家聯合體的協定。２１日，除波羅的海三國和格魯吉亞外，蘇聯１１個加盟共和國領導人在哈薩克斯坦當時的首都阿拉木圖會晤，通過了《阿拉木圖宣言》和《關於武裝力量的議定書》等文件，宣告蘇聯已不複存在，並成立獨立國家聯合體。２５日，戈爾巴喬夫發表電視講話，辭去蘇聯總統職務。蘇聯正式解體。
獨聯體沒有中央領導機構，不具有國家的性質，不是淩駕於國家之上的實體，它以主權平等為基礎，為各成員國進一步發展和加強友好、睦鄰、和諧、信任、諒解和互利合作關係服務。
獨聯體現有１２個成員國，分別是阿塞拜疆、亞美尼亞、白俄羅斯、格魯吉亞（２００８年８月１２日，格魯吉亞總統薩卡什維利說，格魯吉亞已決定退出獨聯體 ）、吉爾吉斯斯坦、摩爾多瓦、哈薩克斯坦、俄羅斯、烏茲別克斯坦、烏克蘭、塔吉克斯坦和土庫曼斯坦。
獨聯體的主要機構有國家元首理事會、政府首腦理事會、跨國議會大會、協調協商委員會等。其中，國家元首理事會是獨聯體的最高機構。獨聯體總部設在白俄羅斯首都明斯克，工作語言為俄語。 獨聯體國家首腦會議係指獨聯體國家元首理事會和政府首腦理事會分別舉行的會議或兩者聯席會議。國家元首理事會通常每年召開兩次會議，政府首腦理事會每年召開四次會議。會議輪流在各成員國舉行。
近年來，有關獨聯體能否繼續維係的問題為世人所關注，獨聯體內部也不斷發出要求改革的呼聲。２００５年８月，在俄羅斯千年古城喀山舉行的獨聯體國家元首理事會會議，通過了完善和改革獨聯體機構以提高效率等決定。會議還決定，宣布２００６年為獨聯體年。
Bush Orders Military to Deliver Aid to Georgia
WASHINGTON — President Bush has directed the U.S. military to lead a humanitarian mission to help displaced citizens of Georgia, who\'ve been forced out of their homes following a Russian invasion last week in the northern portion of the country.
The president said U.S.-17 aircraft with humanitarian supplies are already on its way and U.S. aircraft and naval forces will deliver humanitarian and medical supplies
The mission will be vigorous and ongoing, Bush said from the White House Rose Garden with Defense Secretary Bob Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice by his side.
We expect Russia to honor its commitment to let in all forms of humanitarian assistance. We expect Russia to insure that all lines of communication and transport, including seaports, airports, roads and airspace, remain open for the delivery of humanitarian assistance and for civilian transit, Bush said.
Bush said he is also sending Rice to Tbilisi, Georgia, to personally convey American\'s unwavering support for the government of Georgia, after the country was invaded last week by neighboring Russia. Rice will travel beforehand to France to meet with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
The United States stands with the democratic government of Georgia, Bush said. The United States strongly supports France\'s efforts as president of the European Union to broker an agreement to end this conflict.
The president spoke after a busy morning of briefings and a phone conversation with Sarkozy and Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, a close ally of the United States.
The administration also spent Wednesday morning trying to document whether Russia is violating the cease-fire it agreed to institute with the former Soviet Republic. FOX News confirmed that Russian tanks entered the city of Gori, just 40 miles from the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.
We expect Russia to meet its commitment to cease all military activities in Georgia, and we expect all Russian forces that have entered Georgia in recent days to withdraw from that country, Bush said.
Bombings and rocket attacks have left heavy damage in Georgia. A joint civilian-military assessment team was flying into Georgia late Wednesday afternoon, local time, to gather information on exactly what is needed, the official said. A second flight, with some initial humanitarian supplies such as sleeping bags and water, was to arrive after that.
In a conference call with international reporters, Saakashvili predicted a humanitarian disaster, the result of 100,000 people being displaced from their homes in the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, which Russia wants to claim for itself. He also described ethnic cleansing in Gori, and said men and women are being separated and men put in internment camps.
Saakashvili said the U.S. and West underestimated Russia\'s regional ambitions and warned that America\'s reputation here, since (the) Cold War, is going to hell now.
We have been warning them a large scale Russian invasion is coming, Saaskashvili said. (The) State Department told us the Russians are not going to do that.
The Western-educated Saakashvili also credited Republican presidential candidate John McCain with predicting Russia\'s real intent, but did not make an endorsement in the presidential campaign.
The Georgian president said Russia\'s well planned invasion is on a larger scale than the first days of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001. He also said he feared Georgia is just the first nation to be subjected to Russia\'s resurging territorial ambitions.
Saakashvili also denied Georgia had provoked the conflict in South Ossetia as Russia has claimed.
I\'m sickened by speculation that Georgia started anything, he said, noting how he had to return to his country while on his way to the Olympics because Georgia had no choice but to respond or to surrender.
