Serb, what do you think of this?
For non Russian speakers, it's an article by a journalist who was riding along with a Russian IFV. It does quote a commander saying the Russian forces were ready to move for Tbilisi and would have captured it within five more days if Moscow hadn't ordered a halt to the offensive.Solver, WePlayCiv Co-Administrator

But they didn't halt the offensive, according to the latest reports, the Russian tank column has rolled through Gori and is continouing towards Tblisi. Soldiers riding along shouted "Tblisi" cheerfully to the Swedish news team.
You could expect them to move a little more carefully in "enemy lands", they could be ambushed or IED anytime anywhere, but obviously they think it's some kind of parade.So get your Naomi Klein books and move it or I'll seriously bash your faces in! - Supercitizen to stupid students

That's what they are doing, but with the history and bad blood between Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Georgia, all Russia can do is minimize collateral damage.Originally posted by PLATO
