"Kremlin dupe", simply for saying that Georgia started it and that we shouldn't worry that much about Russia because its military isn't that good. When they lose one of their elite bomber aircrews to a Georgia SAM, and NATO has more combined tonnage of military ships in the Black Sea than Russia, it's rather hard to argue that they are a preeminent military power of the day. They're not insignificant, but it's not that big a deal.
