If Georgians turn towards the West I guarantee that they will see their country destroyed by Russia. Intelligent Georgians know that it does not matter if their leader is a Russian tyrant psycho, that is far better than being turned into a rump state and having all your fighting aged men killed on the battlefield. Sometimes peace is worth the cost of compromise. It is not a good time to be adjacent to Russia and also to give Russia the finger. Maybe a time will come in the future when that can happen more safely.
