Moscow claims troop withdrawl, but troops remain in battle ready positions

[QUOTE](CNN) -- NATO urged Russia to keep its word this time and withdraw troops along Ukraine's eastern border, saying it has seen no signs of soldiers returning to their bases.
President Vladimir Putin ordered tens of thousands of troops near the Ukraine border to return to their bases, his spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday. The withdrawal has started, he said, and could take some time to finish.
But despite Moscow's assertion, there were no signs of the troops' withdrawal, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said hours later.
The Obama administration was skeptical about Putin's order, while Kiev said it's monitoring the area to ensure troops are returning to their permanent bases.
"As you know, we have heard that promise before and have yet to see any indication that it's been fulfilled," said Jay Carney, the White House spokesman.[/QUOTE]

Why would they retreat? What is NATO going to do? They already admitted that they have no plan if Russia invades the Baltic states.

Georgia instigated the war with Russia by swatting a hornets nest with a stick about 2mm long. They've been in a territorial dispute with South Ossetia and Abkhazia since 1990, and continue to find any excuse under the sun to try and take control of them again.

Both of those states rely heavily on Russia for military support for good reason (they wouldn't exist otherwise.) So whenever Georgians want to get rowdy and start harassing the breakaway states, Russia steps in and puts an end to it.
