Russia tensions spike as NATO starts Georgia war games

TBILISI. This is GEORGIA’S capital city. NATO kicked off controversial military exercises in ex-Soviet Georgia on Wednesday as tensions spiked in relations with neighbouring Russia over Moscow's expulsion of two alliance diplomats. Launched a day after Georgia accused Russia of backing a brief military mutiny that allegedly included a plot to assassinate President Mikheil Saakashvili. Whom is the Georgian president, for all who don’t know...!!!!!!!! In another sign of tensions, Georgia said Wednesday it had arrested one of its top former diplomats on espionage charges and said he had been providing detailed military intelligence to Moscow.
On Tuesday Georgia said it had peacefully put down a mutiny at a military base outside Tbilisi aimed at disrupting the NATO exercises. The NATO exercises involve at least 1,100 soldiers from 10 NATO countries and six of the alliance's "partner" countries.
Russian ally Armenia backed out of the exercises after Tuesday's mutiny.
