What part will all the russian mafia immigrants into America play? They, too, are well off. Since Russia doesn’t have factories, whose weapons will they buy?

I have always thought that the security measures surrounding the Olympics were cover for Chinese military movements towards Taiwan.

'Anyone who tries to do this will receive a shattering blow.'

Good grief - Medvedev has been taking public relations lessons from his buddy Ahmadinejad. Things are looking up.

Bear Bombers flying off the US east coast>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Roger that,

Before the Georgia Invasion the skys over my home in Northern Vermont were empty except for the occasional high flying commercial A/C.

Now the Green Mountain Boys from Vermont's National Air Guard,158th Fighter Wing , flying F16s, make ( numbers purposefully omitted) sorties over my home each day, on their way to the coast from Burlington, VT, flying Eastward.

God Bless 'em.

Russia should understand that huritng our troops in Georgia may result in Russia to cease to exist.

Thank you for posting what’s been simmering in my noodle today - yes, “some kind of internal power struggle ?” going on. I can see parts of what this struggle might be; but there’s far more which remains elusive, and certainly not yet revealed.

Putin's second aggression toward his new Iron Curtain -- the first was Estonia:

Is it just me or does this guy appear to soulless?

[Defiant]

And don’t forget all the proxy wars that they fought, Korea, Vietnam, Angola, Nicaragua, etc. Not to mention that they sponsored the Arabs, and taught them the use of terror and oil as a weapon.

[Defiant]

This is not a power struggle. Putin is clearly and firmly in charge. This is a coming out party, a debutante ball for the Russian empire. They are tired of languishing in the minors and want their place back at the top of a two-nation superpower structure. I don’t think they are ready for it, militarily, but I don’t think we are ready, psychologically, to confront a belligerent with a large force at the ready, and so, the stronger willed aggressor may be able to get away with it. Putin has given himself some wiggle room in case he bites off more than he can chew; so far, we have given him no reason to believe he has overreached.

Hey Dmitry (and you too Vlad):

Yobe Tvoyu Maht!

BRING IT, CYKA!

I'd reenlist for that party.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Great post. I completely agree.

[Chgogal]

Oh, I don't know. I sure the Europeans are asking, “Who is next” and “How do we stop the Rabid Bear”? The US is the only game in town, assuming Europeans do not want to be “Borged”.

[Eighth Square]

I am far more worried about the pathetic slobs coming on-line in this country. “Yes we will disband our military if you will just leave us alone, pleeeease”!

[TigersEye]

Would there be any external sign that they had been fried? Or would it only show up if they did a systems check ... if they even do that before getting ready to fire them.

Georgia/Rabid Bear Ping!

There was a comedy skit of a conversation between Ber trand Russell and G.E. Moore. It went like this....

Russell: "I see young Moore studying his lessons in the parlor. There's a basket of apples on the table before him. Let's see if I can catch him in a misstatement.....

(Russell enters the parlor)

Russell: "Moore!...Are there any apples in that basket?"

Moore: "No."

Russell (slightly peeved): "Moore!.....Are there some apples in that basket?"

Moore: "No."

Russell (becoming exasperated): "Moore!......Are there apples in that basket?"

To which Moore replied, "Yes."

Point....The Soviets have been behind every conflict since WWII and the Neo Sovs are actively prosescuting this one in Georgia and publically threatening Poland and the Baltic nations. With their support of the former Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein, Syria and Iran, they're behind the WOT also. Let's not parse words.

Russia still thinks its 1945...

IMO, the reality is too many Russian bashers think its 1945.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

How about the Russo-Japanese war of 1904 over control of the Liaodong Peninsula since the Russians were in constant persuit of a warm water port on the Pacific Ocean. Vladivostok was only operational during the summer season, but Port Arthur could be operational all year.
The war ended up being a disaster for the Russians, triggered the Russian revolution, and set the wheels in motion for the creation of the USSR.

I think Poland would disagree.
