		<description>In all the discussion about Georgia , ussia, the EU, and the USA, there is little discussion about the transnational economc interests operating in the region,, and indeed employing military -intelligence-narcotics veterans.

For example there is a clear overlap between foriegn policy research funding sources and oil-financial consortia operations in the samegeography of interest, i.e. geoeconomics. These consortia also operate directly in the region with organizations analagous to the intelligenc-diplomatic functions of nation states.

see detailed documentation:

Using an underlying eonomic modelof state behavior would have predited the Georgia attack on the Russian peacekeepers in the break away provinces as a military response to the Russian financial pressure applied on the Azeri-Georgia pipeline cartel lead by BP, which is threatened under the TNK-BP regulatory criminal investigation.

The same model would now predict a further response against Russian allies in or adhacent to current conflict, especially pressure in Nagorno from Azeri commandos managed in Baku. Expect a flare up in the Armenian-Azeri conflict over Nagorno in the neaar future. US military ships in the region may be transferring military stores to low intensity conflict players in the region, including private firms, security groups in the Black sea area, chechnya, and karabach.
