Well, at least she has been there. How much do we really know sitting on the couch and watching TV?
Georgians are in Georgia. Russians have invaded Georgia. Not complicated.
Anyone with half of their braincells working can see that the girl was repeating phrases she has been told. The “Thank you Russia” is so heavy-handed fake. This is not an “eyewitness telling the truth”, it’s a 12 year old girl who probably was there, heard some explosions and was told what to say on interview.
We know Russia has a long history of threatening its weaker neighbors, blackmailing its neighbors, assassinating dissidents at home and abroad, imprisoning writers, exiling people based on ethnicity, using brutality to shut down debate, invading its neighbors, absorbing its neighbors, subsidizing terrorism, state-sanctioned starvation of Ukrainians and even Ethiopians, making deals with Nazis to divide up other nations, paranoia-inspired purges, nuclear proliferation, seeking a warm water port at any cost, spewing obvious bullspit, funding antigovernment demonstrators, ecofreaks and even terrorists in the USA, using lasers to blind pilots, violating arms treaties rather than simply backing out of them, murdering captured military officers in cold blood, and just generally being annoying by demanding that everyone but themselves consult the UN before making any moves.
If you know it's a poisonous snake, for Pete's sake, don't put it in your pocket no matter how cold it claims to be.
