Others who have suffered Russia's imperialism in the past are also not happy:

Poland and the Baltic states came together on Saturday to issue a harsh condemnation of Russia for what they described as aggression in Georgia and urged NATO and the European Union to oppose it.

The former Soviet republics of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia and Poland, a client state of Moscow under communism, are wary of a resurgent Russia using its muscle to again dominate its neighbours.

"The European Union and NATO must take up the initiative and oppose the spread of imperialist and revisionist policy in the east of Europe," said the statement from the presidents of the four countries.

Those that know Russia the best see the truth.

Like I said on another thread, if I were the President of the United STATES, I would look for ways to get other former Soviet Republics involved in the conflict, even airlifting their troops into Georgia, all on the courtesy of the US Air Force.

Thanks Dawn,
I was hoping I’d hear how Poland and other formerly “captive countries” would view this aggression by Russia. This is such a sticky situation. It just goes to show that these countries know what is at stake when dealing with Russia.
