Before the Summit, the U.S. Forgives Russia for Invading Georgia

By the Jamestown Foundation

From the Jamestown Foundation: U.S. officials insist they are not ready to trade horses on important issues with Russia or throw Georgia under the bus. But it seems that in the run up to the summit the U.S. has already effectively forgiven Russia for invading Georgia, and not withdrawing its military forces from Abkhazia and South Ossetia as it appeared to have promised under a ceasefire agreement in August last year.
