I don’t know if I believe that the Russians are setting up death camps./
Have you ever read any of the Gulag Archipellago? There has never been a time when the Russians have not operated death camps. It would be extraordinary to believe that they have not enslaved Georgians.
And my guess is that almost all of those taken to the camps will never be seen again. This is part of the terror tactic.
Note that a lot of our guys who were “liberated” by the Red Army from Nazi POW camps in WWII have still not come home.
The same is true of Korean War POWs.
The same is true of aerial recon operators who are known to have survived being shot down during the Cold War.
The same is true of Viet Nam POWs.
We’re just not supposed to talk about them because it could harm international relations.
Well they’ve been accusing Georgia of the same thing.
Look I’m just saying that it’s a war, both sides want sympathy and there are people on both sides willing to say anything to get sympathy.
We shouldn’t believe every “news story” coming out of the area. We know how much the news is censored and biased in this country, and they’re free to say anything they want.
And the last part is: I can’t blame the Russians - I think the world would be a much happier place with fewer know-it-all liberal journalists. I’m not advocating violence - I’m just saying I know the feeling...
