#1 Shevranadze's best shot is to skdaddle up to the Kremlin to try to make some sort of "alliance" with Moscow on this situation. I'm not sure if Putin will keep him cooling his heels or if he'll offer military "aid" of a type that makes Georgia a Russian protectorate. But if the Georgian army isn't up to getting off the main roads and controlling the countryside, I'm not sure what is there to stop Moscow from making offers that Tblisi cannot reject.

#2 As you sow, so shall ye reap.
As you harbor, so shall ye be invaded.
