My flight from Eastern Europe arrived today and I'm incredibly jet lagged.  I hate to say it, but, "Georgia is a lost cause."  Even with the help of Estonia's top computer security experts, we still could not save Georgians from the atrocities that are still being hurled against them by Russia's military hacker squadrons.  I predict Georgia will sign a conditional term of surrender before Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  It's sad to say "Russia won this true cyber-war," but that's the simple truth of the matter.  Georgia will become a territory of Russia within the next three months, almost entirely thanks to a bunch of hackers in Russian military uniforms.

I want to thank my battle-scarred colleagues from Estonia, who earned their war medals when Russia nearly wiped out their country in a previous military invasion.  Their knowledge of Russian military cyber maneuvers was unparalleled.  Still, it wasn't enough to save Georgia.

On my last night in Georgia, my Estonian colleagues brought out some of the best alcohol I've ever tasted.  We toasted our Georgian computer security allies, and then we symbolically hurled our shot glasses into the fireplace.  Those glasses will never toast again.  Sadly, our Georgian allies will soon never toast their homeland again.

My greatest fear right now is that our Georgian allies will be forced into computer security service when Russia overpowers their country.

I'll get some sleep for the next few days to get over my jet lag.  Then I'll debrief my colleagues at the Air Force Cyberspace Command.
