Some more fallout from Russias little adventure in Georgia:

The United States has backed Ukraine's bid for NATO membership a day after similarly supporting Georgia, in a move which may further stoke tensions with Russia.

Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, left, welcomes U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney in Kiev on Friday.

U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney met with Ukraine's pro-Western president Victor Yushchenko in the capital of Kiev on Friday, the third stop of a tour that has already taken him to two other former Soviet republics -- Georgia and Azerbaijan.

The meeting came on the same day as the United States' top warship arrived in the Georgian port of Poti to deliver humanitarian supplies, fueling Russia's fears that its superpower rival is making its presence felt in the Baltic region.

Russia said the vessel's technical characteristics raised questions about whether it should be allowed into the area, Russian news agency Interfax reported.

What characteristics were those?  The ability to shit-stomp the entire Russian navy by itself?  Yeah, we have a bunch of those lying around so any time you wanna get froggy, go ahead and jump.

Anyway, I'm wondering if Pooter is feeling buyer's remorse about South Ossetia and Abkhazia.  First Poland refuses to party like its 1949 and now Ukraine?  Wow, its almost like the world isn't feeling that imperialistic kick you're on with integrity.

It shocks the conscious.
