uh oh

bigtime

[brityank]

All good questions, with answers to be provided later rather than sooner.

[McGruff]

THEY ARE in Direct Talks!

I was thinking the same thing. I'll bet there's alot of direct talks going on over there right now on many levels, but it's probably not for sensitive big ears.

[patton]

We have plans drawn up and ready to invade Canada - why would Russia be any different?

[patton]

Baby milk trucks.

[SE Mom]

There’s a new update @ Yahoo via AP- I’d post the link but I’m not up-to-date on the AP excerpts policy..

Mods?

[patton]

LOL - war IS an extension of politics.

[Mac94]

That’s true .... but from a cold start we couldn’t have heavy armor deep inside Canada by tommorrow morning. These units just don’t move from the motor pool and the barracks like that. Russia was fully mobilized and ready to move before Georgia acted. How were they so prepared to have force mobilized and in the field awaiting the move order so they could be in combat within 12 or so hours?

It’s one thing to have a plan ... it’s another thing to have the units ready to move at a moments notice. And nations just don;t keep their forces on hair trigger for grins.

[redgolum]

Georgia had said there were going to move by September. Russia did a massive war game in the region recently, and so did Georgia. Both sides were ready to move.

Oh, BTW, the US had a lot of observers in the Georgian war games.

Interesting times.

LOL - war IS an extension of politics.

I see you've studied your Clausewitz, sir.

[redgolum]

Bad things brewing up.

[McGruff]

Saakashvili told BBC World television Russia had been massing troops on the northern border of Georgia for months.

" They have been calling it training exercises, but they have not been concealing the fact that they are training these troops for use inside Georgia," he said.

"The way the escalation went was we came first under extensive artillery barrage from the separatists ... but in the end I was told that Russian armored vehicles started to cross the Georgian border. And that was exactly the moment when I had to take this decision to fire back."

[patton]

...and sun tzu, and machiavelli, and even general yes ma’am sherman...

But I think it is going to take a nipponized bit of the old sixth avenue el

to tell them.

[redgolum]

I was wondering this morning where the “separatists” got the heavy artillery....

[Knitebane]

...and sun tzu, and machiavelli, and even general yes ma’am sherman...

O.O

Hey! How'd you get a look at my library?

[Quix]

Could be.

But I expect the globalists to squash this soonish. I don’t think it’s part of their over all script for the near horizon.

I could be wrong.

OF COURSE!

[maclay]

How about we invade Russia; Russia can invade Georgia; & Georgia can invade South Ossetia? </sarc>
Crazy world we live in.

[AppyPappy]

“RUSSIA supports OSSETIA’s independency “

That’s a joke. They have never supported anyone’s independence

[Publius6961]

The WRIF morning show guys were just making fun of someone who predicted the end of the world on 8-8-08 at 8 am.

LOL!

What time zone?

The fruitcake does know about timezones. Right?

[Mac94]

yeah, that was from the speach / interview I posted from CNN. He basically denies invading S. Ossetia at all. Interesting speech, to say the least.

ping for later
