    There are already wars in the Russian caucuses.

    I cannot prove or disprove a negative, so I’m not going to touch your second point.

    Georgian nationalism was so fervent at the fall of the USSR because of Russian oppression. They haven’t done anything to clean up the mess they created because frozen conflict on their borders is beneficial to Russia.

      There are no wars now.

      The wars happened when the central government was too weak to deal with them, which supports my point somewhat.
