What a mess! I'm waiting for the hundreds of thousands of Euros marching into the streets of Europe protesting against Russia and comparing Pooty to Hitler. Well, I for one will not want to sacrifice any more US Military for Western Europe. They should know better by now. What France and Germany pulled on us in 2003-2006 was unforgivable. Iraq would have gone so much smoother without France/Germany/Russia/China alliance. Now what?

Abkhazia is part of Georgia. If you were paying attention, you would know that Abkhazia(of course, its the Russians) has launched an assault on Georgia.

Russian troops in Abkhazia >>> Abkhazia attacking Georgia.

1 + 1 = 2

My point is neither report says the Russian seaborne troops have landed.

[Chgogal]

Here is a good description. This goes into my oil folder.

“They need control of energy routes,” Saakashvili said. “They need seaports. They need transportation infrastructure. And primarily, they want to get rid of us.”

Europe is screwed. Luckily most Europeans are so asleep at the wheel that they don't even know it.

GORI, Georgia — The conflict between Russia and the former Soviet republic of Georgia moved toward a wider war Saturday, as Russia sent warships to land ground troops in the disputed territory of Abkhazia and broadened its bombing campaign across Georgia.

Utiashvili said in the past few hours Russia had brought 6,000 troops into Georgia and a further 4,000 troops by sea and Russian forces were preparing to attack at dawn.

RT also reported that Russians are bringing peace keepers to protect the people of Abkhazia

Im not sure what happened to the BBC link. RT is also claiming that a Georgian ship was sunk.

Roger Dat!,,,They mite have a port very soon...

[plenipotentiary]

Still doesn’t say they landed. Why are you so keen they should have?

[Tramonto]

Here is the quote: “Utiashvili said in the past few hours Russia had brought 6,000 troops into Georgia and a further 4,000 troops by sea and Russian forces were preparing to attack at dawn.”

Doesn’t this mean that Utiashvili is claiming that 4,000 troops have arrived by sea?

Other news stories are reporting that Russian naval ships have arrived in Akhazia. RT has claimed that Russians have landed in Akhazia as well.

Georgia should blow up the Roki Tunnel and cut off the Russians in Georgia. Starve them out.

RT just said that there are reports of the Roki tunnel being blown up. They then said the reports appeared to be false.
