Yes, we all remember how Russia rolled into Tblisi a few years after the 2008 war in Georgia, occupying the entire country.
Except that didn't happen: the 2008 war was over a de facto independent oblast in Georgia that Georgia tried to recapture, and that's pretty much what the war remained limited to.

And this means Georgia has an outstanding claim on territory not under its control, which conveniently makes it a non-candidate for NATO. Which was probably the Russians' intent.
