Russia's NATO envoy Dmitry Rogozin says Russia will break off its relationship with the alliance if it admits Georgia.He warned that there is no way Russia could continue cooperating with NATO if the Membership Action Plan was approved for Georgia. "We would have to stop all contact. Georgia's entry to NATO would make the world a different place," he said.Rogozin added that alliance members must be aware of this, as it concerns the European countries most of all. "The U.S. and Canada are far away, and unlikely to be affected by any potential threats. It's Europe that will take the rap," said Rogozin. Georgia is preparing to receive a NATO delegation on Monday.The team of experts will assess the damage done to the country's military infrastructure by the war last month.Georgia is applying to join NATO and has been strongly supported by the U.S., which has offered the country humanitarian aid worth a billion dollars.

Dec 5, 2008 - NATO has an OBLIGATION to act appropriatly to ANY request from ANY country wishing to join. Acting appropriately does not always mean they are accepted, but it would be completely INAPPROPRIATE to reject a request to join NATO, simply because Russia doesn't like it.Russia has no God given right or privilege to only be surrounded by neighbors who agree with Russia. Georgia is NO threat to Russia, accept in they refuse to bow to Russian demands of obedience.
