Georgia: Russian Peacekeepers Detained In South Ossetia
Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty ^ | February 09, 2006 | Jean-Christophe Peuch

Tensions between Tbilisi and Moscow heightened today with Georgia threatening to deport three Russian peacekeepers arrested overnight in its separatist republic of South Ossetia. Officials in Moscow blame Tbilisi for allegedly exacerbating the situation in the conflict zone as Georgian lawmakers keep pressing for all Russian troops stationed in South Ossetia to be withdrawn.

Liberate these poor souls from their captivity in the Russian army where they castrate you and call it "hazing."

The Georgians won't stop until they have war. Why do they think that the Ossessians or Abkhazians, whom they tried to exterminate, would ever want to return to the Georgian tender "mercies". Especially when Georgian polls show that 72% want the country to get rid of all minorities.

Personally I think this Soros shill needs a quick enemy to mask his economic failures. Building fountains while your citizens starve (prices have more then quadrupled since he came to power) doesn't make one to popular.

Yeah, right, just like the Serbs exterminated the Albanian Kosovars. Not.

Don't bother trying to link it in with the Serbs, another low hand tactic. Not surprising you tried though.

It's your man Putin who has linked Ossetia to Kosovo.

Kosovo = S. Ossetia, Abkhazia and Transnistria. Putin said so.

What he didn't explain was how if it's wrong to partition and divide Serbia, it's right to carry out the same crime against Georgia and Moldavia.

His mother must have never taught him that two wrongs don't make a right.

When the forces of Balkanization and ethnic separatism begin to tear Russia apart, it will only be chickens coming home to roost.

Only in international recognition, you try to make a false moral/historic linkage. Nice try but we're here to keep the truth straight and not twisted.

Russia supports the same Chechen vermin in Georgia that it fights in it's own territory. When the Georgians whose country Russia has invaded and partitioned support the same Chechen jihadist cause to tear up Russia, Russia will have only itself to blame.

Bull crap. Russia has been edging to go into Pankisy and erase them.

The Chechens support the Abkhazians and find safe haven there. Russia supports its own enemies in Abkhazia.

The Chechens support the Abkhazians and find safe haven there

Another one of your typical lies. The Chechens, hired by the Georgians, in 2001, to start a war and a pretext for the Georgians to re-invade, opened their offensive by massacring 14 Armenian women and children in a village in central Abkhazia. They were cornered in a box canyon and pounded by Russian bombers while the Abkhaz and Armenians (a battalion of Armenians serve in the Abkhaz armed forces) surrounded and destroyed the Chechens fast enough that Georgia didn't get a chance to launch a war. Unfortunately, the Chechens were able to shoot down a UN Hip that was sent in by UNOMIG to investigate, killing all 11 personnel, to include the Georgian interpretor, aboard.

Typically you are either 1. a liar and ignore these facts or 2. ignorant of them but make slanderous comments anyways to push your agenda. Which is it?

You may want to demonize the whole Georgian race for the death of 13 Armenians, but I don't.

Sorry, that tactic isn't going to work either, nice try. I don't demonize the whole Georgian race, 1 million of whom now live and hold Russian citizenship anyways. Oh and get it right, it was 14.

You always play your race card

Wrong again. I don't play race cards. You are the one branding me and others as anti-semites, anti-catholics, anti-whatever (always lacking the proof of course). The only thing you can get me on is being anti-Muslim and Islam is not a race by a Devil's faith.

Trying to secure additional al-Qaeda bases in Europe, are you? Is that your way of thanking them for 9/11?

Abkhazia is a base for Chechen jihadists and and wahhabis. Russia is nurturing its own jihadist enemies just to hurt their Georgian Christian brothers. They intend to use the evil "Kosovo Precedent" to justify the invasion and partitioning of Christian Georgia and the creation of ethnic separatist enclaves.

jb6 makes the same false claim of genocide and "extermination" against the Christian Georgian as were made against the Christian Serbs. In fact it is Abkhazia and Ossetia which have been ethically cleansed of Georgians just as it is really Kosovo which has been ethnically cleansed of Serbs.
