Russian pipeline "Southern stream" kill "Nabucco" pipeline in Georgia. Georgian pipeline do not have gas for work. Economic sense is zero. Only losses.
There is no reason to occupy Georgia, and people of Russia of it doesn't want.
Russia with pleasure would leave from Northern Caucasus, but it will mean permanent wars on southern borders of Russia. And this southern border is a plain. Here is not present any natural boundaries - large rivers or marine passages and etc.
Northern caucasus is full of ethnic contradictions, people of northern caucasus will be at permanent war. Northern Caucasus for Russia is burden (economic, political and etc.)
