I want to say Ukraine should close the port right now, but it would be strategically wise to get Turkey’s support first.

[gorush]

Liberal, appeasing, self-disarming governments allow an aggressive state to mistreat an ally in the hope that this will be the end of the aggression. This same scenario lead to an otherwise unnecessary WWII.

[elhombrelibre]

Apparently they are unchanged. Don't expect the masses in Russia to mind this brutal attack on civilians. I'm sure they'll be very proud of the brave Soviet, I mean Russian, soldiers.

[rjp2005]

Georgia only has 2 missile boats - a French one and a Soviet one. Wonder which one got hit?

How will Ukraine respond? Will they make good on their threat to close?

[Dog]

Hal keep the updates coming...

[Skooz]

Geesh, this is like a war or something.

[browardchad]

Georgian missile boats on Sunday made two attempts to attack Russian warships

Russia, of course, is never the aggressor. /sarc

The problem is, there are far too many people, both in the US and around the world, who are far too willing to take Russia's word for it.

Will the peace freaks hoist signs - “No blood for Georgian oil?”

[traumer]

What will it do to OIL prices on Monday ??

[Anti-Hillary]

George is in China. He needs to get his butt home. It is NO mistake that Russia did this while the world's attention is on the Olympics. This is SO serious. It is ALL about Russia's desire to control the flow of oil to Western Europe.

May I direct everyones attention to “Epicenter” by Joel Rosenberg. You are witnessing what he has laid out.

Also, read study and understand Ezk 38 & 39. It is coming!

Check the futures market..

“Incidentally, I thought he wasn’t president anymore.... /s”

I think we need to start calling him “Premier Putin.”

[Joiseydude]

When are we going to hear cries from the left about Russian agression or imperialism?

Don't hold your breathe waiting.

“Will the peace freaks hoist signs - “No blood for Georgian oil?”

Or maybe, as one member here posted in another thread about this, “Putin lied, comrades died”.

[reg45]

I think that's a Georgian flag:

Next comes a nasty letter to the embassy.
