MEIENDORF CASTLE, Russia, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Russia's foreign minister said on Wednesday the United States had to choose between partnership with Moscow and the Georgian leadership which he described as a "virtual project".
"We understand that this current Georgian leadership is a special project of the United States, but one day the United States will have to choose between defending its prestige over a virtual project or real partnership which requires joint action," Sergei Lavrov told reporters.
U.S. President George W. Bush on Wednesday demanded Russia resolve a crisis with Georgia and said he would dispatch U.S. military aircraft with humanitarian supplies.

Project Georgia. Next question?
Easy decision.
To hell with Russia.
Oh...we multi-task quite well... I wouldn’t worry about it.
Project Georgia.
VR stands with the Georgian “Project.” Moscow can go to hell...!
Why would we want to be “partners” with a regime of murderous thugs who are actively aiding and abetting the Axis of Terror?
Russia can go suck an egg.
This is a very difficult decision.
On one hand, we have a small democracy that not only poses no threat to the United States, but has actually proven to be much more of an ally than our traditional ‘friends’ in Europe.
On the other hand, we have a nation that still maintains a few thousand nuclear warheads, most of them aimed at us. And now, they’re issuing an ultimatum.
Yep, very difficult choice, this one.
Bush has already made his decision, Sergei. And that has Moscow deeply rattled.
If I were the powers-that-be, I’d immediately make a very strong, serious and public reassessment of the U.S. relationship with Russia and just as immediately begin acting on that reassessment.
The thugs of Russia can kiss my a$$. They are no friend of ours, and never have been. They diplomatically shove a sharp stick in our eye every chance they get. Screw em!
Project Georgia.
If Georgia wants freedom and Russia wants another cold war, that’s easy. Screw Moscow.

I choose Georgia..
Real partnership?
With Russia?
The only real partnership Russia has is with Iran.
Putin is evil! We don’t want partners like him!
If America and Americans do not stand with Georgia, then the Ukraine, Poland and other CIS states that won their freedom from the USSR will be the next to fall.
Note to Russia; this isn't 1936 - 1939 and your not NAZI Germany. We learned our lesson since the last time this stunt was pulled. The last time, no one did anything while Hitler gobbled up the Sudeten Land, Austria, Czechoslovakia and 80 million people died. This time around we will stand with our friends against naked aggression.
