Sounds like:
Both people or sides are likely to want to have their point heard and accepted by those listening. Perhaps a debate, whether politically or personally

No one stops to listen to the others point of view, because they are too busy trying to get their own point heard...or maybe they are just talking over each other.

Sounds like a card playing strategy. Bridge or something like it.

On both sides they want to score points, rather than find a mutaully beneficial answer. Sounds silly to me.

In context it means that the tension between Russia and Georgia is still so high that it's hard to say whether or not one side will wage some sort of attack on the other, to get a "leg up" in the disagreements you might say...

it means everyone, given an opportunity, will try to one-up the person they are with - i think it says something about human nature and is probably a throwback to when we were still at the mercy of natural selection - we have to be that bit cleverer, smarter, stronger, FITTEST to survive. Or i could be talking out of my arse! haha
