Semper fi, Carry On

After reading the actual content of the article you posted I can only come to three possible different conclusions:

1) You did not read it past the title.
2) You are being sarcastic.
3) Your grasp of reality is about the same of Baghdad Bob.

Russian AF might have lost few more planes than initially thought due to insufficient training and fratricide (which is common enough under the best circumstances and even more so when both sides are using the same planes and systems).
How that changes the fact that the Georgian Army essentially collapsed in a rout after few days?
Had Finland been defended the same way the soviet flag would have been flying over Helsinki by Christmas.
