Looks like Georgia are on their own in this untill a cease-fire is negotiated. Declaring war on Russia (as of today) is yet another step which will make their western looking aspirations discipate faster than they can imagine.
Those nations who were anti-NATO membership for Georgia and Ukraine will cite this as justification for their refusal in February this year and re-visiting it at this December's NATO conference is now an absolute forgone conclusion that their wait will continue.
The ramifications of their membership having been granted in February (or even a MAP) would have been catastrophic.
Whoever is giving advice to the Georgian PM is either giving bad advice or he is not heeding it. Absolutely no organisation or individual country will be rushing to their aide having declared war on Russia.
I can see no quick fix here - NATO will not get involved militarily or Russia will turn off the gas tap thus NATO
AND the EU businesses will cease to operate as far as Europe is concerned. The EU has no military mandate and the creation of one would mean then end of NATO eventually. The USA is in need of and is getting assistance from Russia to "contain and negotiate" with North Korea and Iran both of whom prefer to talk to the Kremlin than Washington, thus making Georgia a "blip" on the radar compared to these 2 countries. A UN peacekeeping negotiated agreement would end with a "Kosovo" style arrangement in the long term, which would please Russia but not Georgia (and probably lead to Russia recognising Kosovo which it and half the planet still do not, in return for international recognition of the conflict areas in Georgia in a similar style).
The UN, after 2 days, still has not agreed wording for a cease fire, despite Russia making the initial request and pushing the UN to get on with it, and now, during this delay, Georgia has declared war on Russia, giving Russia a mandate (as per Northern Iraq v Turkey, Palistine v Isreal earlier this year) to carry out pre-emptive strikes, invade other states sovergein soil to "crush" possible threats as did Turkey/Isreal in each circumstance.
Both circumstances involving Turkey in Northern Iraq and Isreal in Palistine this year were "tolorated" by the UN, NATO, the USA and the planet.........as long as they didn't go on for too long. That is now Russia's mandate and precident (as if you need one on a country which has just declared war on you).
For Georgia, there is neither the political or economic will from "would be allies" to get involved - the UN is nothing but a peackeeping force "at it's best" and to have declared war on Russia and not Russia on Georgia, they have put themselves into a corner from which I can see no easy escape.
