Georgians are, on the whole, very strong and accepting people. They have endured a great deal over the centuries.

Me too. I am ready. Let's do it with Russia. We cannot let them continue to bully the world with their temper tantrums. I saw how they got so mad about Ukraine following regulations for use of the port in Crimea. It is like they think everything is answered with a temper tantrum.

Russian news reported Estonian soldiers who went to fight with the Georgians.

Is Putin still married to his wife, does anyone know?

I saw that video. I admired her when she looked at the wound and said, “It is a scratch...small calibre”. One of our presstitutes would be wailing as though they had a sucking chest wound.

Putin wants to turn back the clock to the evil empire days.

Check out this load of Bear Scat, they write like demented luddites, even without the perils of the translation of Russian”Free” press. Accuses the Georgians of things they couldn’t do unless they were....Russian!

Russia has to be slapped, but short of nuclear war. No one needs that. But I'm getting tired of hearing that our military is "stretched" because we have 200k troops in the MIddle east. There are 1.5 active military with another 1.5 reserves. How is that "stretched"?

Hopefully, as I said, the powers that be are planning to use them judicially.

I listened this evening to Weiner Savage drone on for 5 minutes making excuses for the Ruskies in Georgia before I changed the station in disgust.

"I wouldn't be suprised if they made a move on Alaska sometime in the future."

We might as well let them drill for oil in Alaska 'cause the 'Rats and the RINOs won't let our companies do it -- at least it would add to the world supply! /s

Nowadays this is a situation: Russia either exists and becomes stronger or turns out to be a mirage.

It is not a choice for every responsible Russian - “Tanks to Tbilisi!” - this is a voice of our national history.

Alack! Our elite is still irresponsible. The nets of effect's agents from the West is everywhere in russian authority. Putin has not been doing serious purges. It can adversely effect Russia. So, now we are going to recognize, who is worth anything.

You know who the author of this piece is? Aleksandyr Dugin. OMG. He is a monster and then some. Wow, thanks for the link. Do some googling on this idiot and then on eurasionism and neo-eurasionism.

I am beginning to believe that Russia will lose big time on this move. It will take months and years to realize the extent of the damage but it will be long and wide. First, “The whole world is watching.” factor is creating a PR nightmare. You can bet they have forced Kiev right into the arms of NATO, officially or not. Now, every former Soviet satellite is rushing into the arms of the United States. The US, France, Britain, The EU, and every nation southwest and west of Russia are now meeting secretly to ensure that they are ready to combat the bear. If Russia was paranoid before, they ought to be hearing voices in their heads now. Finally, if anyone thinks for a minute the Russian troops can invade with green helmets, then switch helmets to powder blue, then they’ve got rocks in their heads. The UN will send in peacekeepers and most of those troops will be European and American (you can bet that plenty of countries will step up for that assignment). And it will happen in the next six months and it will be an overwhelming number of “peacekeepers” and “humanitarians”. And speaking of rocks, how bout the people of Georgia...they could care less if Russia spans eight time zones and has 10,000 nuclear warheads.The Georgians have shown the world that freedom and democracy truly belongs to us all, not just the powerful. God bless them.

Sure hope you’re right....I’m pessimistic for that region of the Caucasus, don’t know how much lasting resistance there will be to increased Russian domination. But I am hopeful that at least the Ukraine and Baltic States should get more EU and NATO support and will become more integrated with the West.

It reminds me of a real life chess game.

History records that when Hitler occupied Czechoslovakia he also claimed to be merely “protecting his citizens.” Here is revealed the true nature and purpose of such claims.

Hitler had it easier, because France and Great Britain said it was OK to attack Czechoslovakia. Putin could have waited a few months for Obama to act as his Nevil Chamberlain.
