Thus, US support for Georgia was obviously not only aimed to protect the democratic right of self-determination, but also - it must be said - had military and political objectives, especially as Georgia was functioning as a strategic vassal state in the Caucasus on the Russian border.
Prin urmare, sprijinul SUA pentru Georgia a avut ca scop, în mod evident, nu numai protejarea dreptului democratic la autodeterminare, dar a avut - trebuie să o spunem - şi obiective militare şi politice, mai ales că Georgia funcţiona ca un stat vasal strategic în Caucaz, la graniţa cu Rusia.
