January 1st, 2009. Your first day as the president of the United States. The Secretary of States enters your office and says...
You have been elected president of the United States.
On January 1st., you arrive to work, drink a cup of coffee, take a leak, eat a couple of donuts, sharpen your pencils, connect to the Internet to check your e-mail; then the Secretary of State enters your office:
- Good morning, Mr. President.
- Good morning.
- What about Vladmir Putin? We need to solve this Russian issue as soon as possible. And I am not talking about Georgia, only. I mean the whole thing.
What would you do to control the Russia-Georgia situation and deal with the Russian ambition for the restoration of the "old order"?
P.S.: Whether you're a Democratic or Republican president, it's up to you to decide.

Before the lulz and/or shutdown:
January 1, 2009, George Bush will still be in office. Not until the 20th will the new guy, whether it's Obama or McCain or Nader or Barr, be sworn in.
Sorry. Just had to get that off my chest.

I'd get the leader of China in the same room with the leader of Russia and hammer-out an arrangement wherein China can have all of Russia's unused land and poorly-exploited resources, if China will agree to cut Russia in on the profits and not invade any western nations for the duration.

Seriously, you phrased this very poorly. You should have asked something like "What practical solution exists for the Russia-Georgia conflict" which is still a pretty weak question. As it stands, there's no wrong answer here and this isn't really how AskMe is meant to be used.
