Georgia and NATO

“Georgia, whose desire for NATO membership had U.S. support, is not in NATO because some prospective members of McCain’s league of democracies, e.g. Germany, thought that starting membership talks with Georgia would complicate the project of propitiating Russia. NATO is scheduled to review the question of Georgia’s membership in December... If Georgia were in NATO, would NATO now be at war with Russia? More likely, Russia would not be in Georgia.”
