It really does look like he is trying to send a strong message to any country that Russia considers to be in Russia's sphere of influence, that if you try and align with the West there will be consequences.

Ukraine would do well to pay attention to events in Georgia, lest it continues to try and push for closer ties to NATO and the EU too.
Although i am a big admirer of postwar soviet/russian military but i dont think that russians will attempt a similar campaign against ukraine, which is much bigger and militarily much more powerful than georgia [e.g gorgians have only 7 modern warplanes].There is a good chance that the russian military will suffer severe losses in conquering ukraine militarily.
