Thanks..You are right and knowledgeable.
they better not mess with Georgia. Georgia is pro US and pro Israel and is very secular yet with a strong christian Orthodox base.
the Georgians have along history of hating the russians since they suppressed what was a free nation, Georgia.
Thanks for bringing this article to my attention...
Red Army Invasion of Georgia 1921
Democratic Republic of Georgia 1918-21
Stalin and fellow Georgian Bolsheviks were traitors to the true Georgia, who killed their "fellow" countryman for the sake of enlarging Soviet Russia.
I want a full economic boycott of Russia. No more favored nation status. Put tariffs on everything. Visa hassles for everybody. Assume all commercial Russian software whose source is not divulged has trap doors for the Russian government’s own use. May the mallet come down hard.
High Volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel. or WOT [War on Terror]

Interesting in view of
Israel warns Russia: We'll neutralize S-300 if sold to Iran
Israel's threat that they'll not only but Russia's system, but share the technology, beyond the US, meaning no one will buy it.
Anyone who continues to invest in the Russian economy is not really paying attention to world events.
Russia habitually aligns itself with our adversaries. Its self image is that of empire, squashing the little peoples around it.
America just lets Russia continue to do its bad stuff. E.g., we’re letting it continue to annex Chechnya, in exchange for participation in the WOT. Very bad deal, imo.
Ossetia and Georgia are more of the same.
Boycott Russia.
1,500 troops left yesterday after a training mission. Which I suspect had something to do with the timing. The permanent force is likely very small. The title commentary my overeaction, I knew they were there, didn't know they'd left.
Marines and Georgians move to the field [Marines near the base bombed by Russia today]
That's been the assumption since 1948, and it hasn't happened yet. Despite some rather significant opportunities, like the US arms embargo in 1948 broken by the Czechs, and the forced 1956 withdrawl from the Sinai
Leaving aside the fact the Israel and Russia have an essentially hostile relationship, this situation, like Kosovo, set precedents which could be harmful. We're not worried, there's no indication the southwest will fight for self determination, when they do, the precedent says Go Aztlan!
See the link in post 30. Other than whatever "permanent" force we keep there, we've used the base for training since 2002-2003, our troops left yesterday.
Just imagine, if Hitler only hated Gypsies, Poles and Russians, with no religious component, the majority of the Manhattan Project scientists would have been defending their homelands in Germany and Italy, rather than hanging out in New Mexico and the University of Chicago.
Why wouldn't you expect a Russian to support his country, Jewish or otherwise?
That when something bad happens, it's a fun project to look for the Jews involved.
thank you for the links. You are right..40 years ago Georgia wanted to become an American ‘state”...They have years of antipathy to the russians, and a long history of loving America !
Jewish Israel and Muslim Turkey are both backing Christian Georgia. Just noting, that’s all.
If anything, Israel and Indian will become closer as Israel/US relations falter.
For Israel has the expertise... and Indian has the manufacturing capabilities.
While both have a great incentive to stop the Muslim hordes.
hmmmmmm
Russia and Israel have hostile relations? Really big news
My son`s classmate serves in Israeli army, he visited us two years ago. He says, that knowing Russian and English is enough to live there. Some my acquainted have relatives there. Tourists from Russia can visit Israel without visas. Unlike USA. They say, some big Russian politicians and businessmen have Israeli citizenship
