Did mercenaries help Georgia? (Russian news claming Ukraine and US troops in South Ossetia)
Russia Today via Google News ^ | 08/10/2008 | Russia Today

Posted on 08/10/2008 1:32:27 PM PDT by Proud_USA_Republican

Front of Google News on their website has this listed in their Top Stories section:

http://news.google.com/nwshp?hl=en&tab=wn

Take a look at there top 3 stories on the Georgian war. THey have this link in there:

KEYWORDS: caucasus; geopolitics; georgia; georgiantroops; ossetia
Youtube video of Russia Today newscast claiming the Russian envoy to South Ossetia is claming that Ukraine troops are in the tank crews and two "black" soliders were found amongst the dead Georgian troops and claiming that are "possibly" US soliders.

What I find heavily disturbing is that this is located at the Top Stories on Google news website. So these guys in are in the tank with Russia now? What the hell? Is Google doing the samething they did with Chinese to protect their business dealings?

If these soldiers were American or British mercenaries it’s only going to do more to promote the new superpower block that is now evolving — Russia, China, India and Brazil.

If these soldiers were regular US military then things are going to look bleak for us in the propaganda field.

Go to Google maps, they have blocked out all but the terrain so you can’t see where the Russians are heading. The Russian portion of the map as well as Turkey show full detail.

Don’t count on it...it’d be black ops that are not easily taken out. You can bet we’ve got advisers in there all ready.

Damn straight. Unlike the mountainous people of South Vietnam whom we left out in the cold to the commies, we have learned our lessons.

R of Georgia has the 3rd biggest foreign army in Iraq so we won;t just leave our allies out in the cold. Damn straight, we’ve got American advisers there. Shades of Afghanistan in the 80’s and the new new Cold War has begun.

Flying the troops home is a ruse. No tellin’ what’s going in.

I’m sure we do, but Russias claim that Ukraine and americans are in south Ossetia driving tanks is just utter propaganda. Not only does Russia not want Georgia joining NATO, but the Ukraine was being considered as well.
Both countries Russia has continously thugged and posted military there. Russia still refuses to remove the majority of its Black Sea Fleet from Ukraine and Russia had setup airbases in northwest Georgia near its border.
This war by Russia is a cordinated move to block both from joining NATO.

For what it's worth Georgia has never been detailed on Google maps. I've done some previous research, and it's always been a relative black hole for detail.
