Russia has quietly moved one of its borders hundreds of metres further into Georgia, according to local media reports.
Kremlin troops reportedly moved a border sign hundreds of yards further into occupied territory in South Ossetia last week, ahead of talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump at the G20 summit.
Georgia’s security agency called the move “illegal” and said local farmers had been affected in the Gori Municipality.

Georgia's president Giorgi Margvelashvili said he was outraged by the move and called on the international community to condemn the action.
"Georgia will use all diplomatic levers at its disposal to stop the creeping occupation,” he said.
World news in pictures
Georgia’s Minister of Reconciliation and Civil Equality Ketevan Tsikhelashvili said it was not "creeping occupation" but a "very open and dynamic occupation process", according to local media.
"The process has been in progress since the Russia-Georgia 2008 war," she said.
"We are doing our utmost to achieve the removal of all kinds of barriers, banners or barbed-wire-fences from the territory of Georgia, which is a challenge not only for security, but also creates very serious daily problems for locals, many of whom lack access to their own lands."

Kurt Volker, a former US representative to Nato, called on the West to stand up to Moscow.
“Russia is in a much weaker position but it has managed to play a weak hand very aggressively – because it has counted on the fact we are not going to respond in any assertive way,” he told BBC Radio 4.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, South Ossetia, a small sliver of land to the northeast of Georgia, broke away from the country in a war. In August 2008, Russia sent in troops, saying it was protecting civilians in South Ossetia from attack by Georgian forces.
Trump and Putin: 'Like working with the guy who robbed your house'
Georgia, backed by the US and the EU, said the Russian operation was a naked land grab.
After a brief war, Russia recognised South Ossetia as an independent state. Only a handful of other states recognise it as a state.
Russia's critics say the war in South Ossetia was a dress rehearsal by Russia for its annexation in 2014 of Ukraine's Crimea Peninsula, and its support for separatist fighters in the eastern Ukrainian Donbass region.

Trump is putty in Putin's hands. Trump wanted a relationship like he had with Bush II, and stated not like "the last one". Obama let the lil' guy know he'd step on him, Trump is LOST! And Putin has him in his hands:
It was, remarkably, their first phone call. Last week, on Monday, Donald Trump spoke to Vladimir Putin. According to the Kremlin, the conversation was warm. Putin congratulated the US president-elect on his sweeping victory. We don’t exactly know how they addressed each other, but you imagine it might have been “Vladimir” and “Donald”.
Both leaders agreed that US-Russian relations were “absolutely unsatisfactory”, as Moscow put it. Their two countries would now begin a new dialogue based on “equality, mutual respect and non-interference in the other’s internal affairs”. They would stay in touch and meet soon, the Kremlin said. Hours later, Russian jets resumed their pounding of Syria.
The new special relationship: what does Putin want from Trump?
Obama let Putin know who was the superpower, Trump looks impressed to be NEAR Putin, no wonder KGBVlad is ecstatic, he can walk all over the blob.

It's really funny that Putin would build up his military to fight a country he will never fight.
Russia and the USA will never face each other militarily. If we go to war, it will be MAD with nuclear weapons.

Putin doesnt think he is going to get war with America. He hopes to weaken NATO and its members states enough (by, for instance, helping foment rightwing nationalism in them) that he can start to chip away at territory.

Time running out to move Tennessee-Georgia state line before case goes to Supreme Court
February 18th, 2014by Tim Omarzuin Local Regional NewsRead Time: 4 mins.
POLL:Should Tennessee share its water with Georgia?
- No
- Yes
Is Georgia's bid to tap the Tennessee River a bluff?
Or is it a ticking bomb that could cost Tennessee parts of Chattanooga, East Ridge, St. Elmo and Lookout Mountain?
The answer may be clearer soon.
ADVERTISING
SPONSORED BY CONNATIX
The clock is winding down for Tennessee to accept what a Georgia legislator described as a "gift": 66.5 square miles Georgia says it lost almost 200 years ago when a surveyor misdrew the state line south of where it belongs.
Georgia lawmakers say Tennessee can have the strip of land -- and its 30,817 residents -- provided the Volunteer State gives up an unpopulated 1.5 square miles near Dade County so a pipeline could be built to pump up to 1 billion gallons a day from Nickajack Lake to water-thirsty Atlanta.
If Tennessee doesn't agree by the time the Georgia Assembly ends it 40-day session, then Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens is instructed to file suit in the U.S. Supreme Court, according to a resolution that Georgia lawmakers passed overwhelmingly last year.
As of Monday, the Georgia General Assembly was more than halfway through its session, and lawmakers plan to finish by March 20.
"If I were a legislator in Tennessee, I would say, 'These people are giving us a gift. We should take it and run with it," said state Rep. Harry Geisinger, R-Roswell, who wrote the resolution that would let Tennessee keep the disputed land in exchange for water.
"I'm a little bit surprised that Tennessee hasn't taken some action," he said recently.
Geisinger's resolution made headlines last year, but it isn't on the Tennessee General Assembly's radar now.
"We're clearly not too worried about it, because I haven't heard about it," said state House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick, R-Chattanooga.
McCormick is unconcerned about the potential for a lawsuit in the U.S. Supreme Court, which settles interstate boundary disputes.
"That's fine. They might as well go ahead," he said. "More power to them. We're not going to move the state line, and we're not going to give them the Tennessee River."
Another Ellis Island?
Geisinger said there's precedent for the Supreme Court to settle in Georgia's favor. The high court has moved five state boundaries in the past 16 years, he said, including when it took 90 percent of Ellis Island, the entry for millions of immigrants, from New York and gave it to New Jersey.
That happened, Gesinger told a state Senate committee at a hearing last year, despite then-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani protesting, "If my ancestors had known they were getting off in New Jersey, they would have never come across the ocean."
Other experts are less certain the high court would rule in Georgia's favor -- or even hear the case.
"I would more or less believe Georgia has acquiesced to this over the years, and that means the borders are established," said Joseph Zimmerman, a political science professor at the University at Albany State University of New York, who's an expert on interstate disputes.
"Georgia is free to file," Zimmerman said. "But this [requires] the expenditure of quite a bit of money, if you're serious about trying to win."
Crews Townsend is one of five attorneys with Miller & Martin's Chattanooga office who jointly wrote a cover story in the May 2008 Tennessee Bar Journal about Georgia's claims to move the boundary.
"This comes up every 20 years, or so," said Townsend, who lives in Lookout Mountain, Ga. "Tennessee most often ignores it, and it dies a quiet death.
"Until you have a drought, it kind of stays quiet," Townsend said.
One sticking point would be reassigning Tennessee cities and residents to Georgia, which Crews thought would be an unprecedented action for the high court.
Border is wrong
There's no doubt Georgia can prove that the state line should be at the 35th parallel, about a mile north of where it is now, the Chattanooga attorneys wrote.
The problem stems from a survey done in 1818 by Georgia-appointed surveyor James Carmack and Tennessee-appointed surveyor James S. Gaines.
Lore has it that for reasons ranging from bad weather to fear of Indian attack, the Carmack-Gaines survey party set the boundary line "one mile and 28 poles from the south bank of the Tennessee," the attorneys found.

It's actually not funny in the least. He is a kleptocratic dictator diverting resources from a suffering economy in order to project power beyonfmd his own borders, causing others in the region (mostly our strongest allies) to spend resources to maintain the balance.

Since the day he took office. Again...pay attention! Since that day he has undertaken efforts to both take territory and to foment rightwing nationalism in western countries. He not only needs more territory to fulfill his vision of restoring Russia as an economic superpower, he also wants more territory to fill his nostalgic visions of restoring the great Russian empire to something resembling its former greatness.
It's not a secret. None of it is a secret.
