Well, “Son” I was “telling the truth”.
South Ossetia is part of Georgia. Just like Michigan is a part of the US.
There was a riot, which escalated, the police were over run so the military was sent in.
Then the Russians came in
Now why don’t you try reading up on what really happened?
Why were the Russians sitting there in FORCE?
Why did the Russians “pass out passports like candy”?
Why were there Russian arms given out just before the SHTF?
If Michigan tried to secede from th US and Bush sent in troops to quell the riots, you think it is ok for Canada to send in tanks and kill American soldiers?
No, it was EXACTLY the same thing.
Don’t tell me that area “hasn’t been ruled since 1920s” by Georgia, since Georgia AND that are were OCCUPIED by the SOVIETS.
Another Russian Apologist comes to light.
Oh and change your name, since your alias is nothing like Kirk would do it.
Only in Bizzaroworld. The flag of the United States flies over Michigan. The flag of Georgia did not fly anywhere in South Ossetia at the time it was attacked by Georgia.
South Ossetia has been officially autonomous since the 1920s. In contrat to Michigan, it has been defacto independent (along with Georgia) since the fall of the Soviet Union.
Michigan is a constituent member of the United States. I am not sure what the status of South Ossetia may be.
That said, it seems to me that most of the posters here are missing the key point. Clinton's unAmerican intrusion into the Serbian Civil War left us no moral authority to pose as holy in relation to what is going on in or around Georgia. Tunnel vision does not add to anybody's credibility.
That said, I have no idea who are the more righteous of the participants in the Caucuses, and can only wonder at the reliability of the sources that some, here, seem to be relying on.
