"Thing is, they cant handle Russia and wont get much help from the West."

 

Since early 2002, the U.S. government has given a healthy amount of military aid to Georgia....

Even with Georgia receiving US military aid that doesn't mean the US will do anything, the US gives Pakistan military aid yet if they don't shape up you are prepared to cross the boarder to route out Al Qaeda and Taliban positions, (who ever does to that I wish them success.) Even with the aid Georgia is not equipped well enough to stand against a full Russian invasion and prevail. the EU lacks the political will to do anything other then make alot of hot air, if the West does anything server in terms of sanctions then that will probably destroy any chances of a major cooperations between the two for a good few years as Russia will see this as injustice, they also supply around 25% of Europe's natural gas. We need to know who fired first, if the South Ossetian claims are true about the shelling of their capital, the Russian PK barracks and the supposed ethnic clenseing the Russia's responce seems quite just.

This may be how you feel, but does not represent reality on the ground.  The US has airlifted Georgian troops from Iraq to Georgia.
