The games continue.
Time to ask the big BO what America should do to help these poor people.
Ping.
Have a feeling it’ll boil down to ‘Put some ice on it.”
Well, they sound like communists more and more every day.
They take great pride in beating up a small neighbor.
They jump in militarily where they know they can lick the other guy;
They say one thing, then do another.
Commies are as commies do.
The other former SSRs better sleep with one eye open.
Inflate the tires on their tanks?
Russia will always be Russia.....
UN resolution??? What a feckless organization!
Until or unless NATO or the US does something to get Russia’s attention, this will continue. If the only response to armor is “harsh language” the Russians know they have won.
Chances are, the out-of-uniform troops that these people are seeing are either South Ossetians or Abkhazians out for a little “payback,” or they’re some of the Chechen and North Ossetian “militias” that attached themselves to the Russian army columns as irregulars. They’re little better then armed thugs, not professional soldiers at all.

So it begins...the winds of change are blowing cold.
“there is news that Russia has introduced a new resolution at the UN.”
Got a link?
LOL
Russian general: 'We are not pulling out' of Georgia
Story site headline....
GEORGIA: RUSSIANS "DIGGING INTO" POTI FOR THE LONG HAUL
Where's the quote in the story and who's the general that said it....?
My guess is, that due to the horrible precedent that Clinton established in attacking Serbia over Kosovo, and then the compounding of that mistake by Bush recognizing Kosovo, that Russia will push hard to get these two provinces completely independent of Georgia.
Such a move will give them strong footholds south of the Caucasus, with their Roksky Tunnel secure, and a secure port south of the Caucasus as well.
We will have to admit Georgia into NATO and build up their military strongly to counter, having our own or NATO military bases in Georgia proper to counter the bases Russia is sure to build in both provinces.
Thanks. Not that I doubted the Russians feel that way, but the link to this story said nothing of the kind.
Thank you, General Stolichnaya. We never would have figured out that you’re a nation of worthless, lying alcoholic savages without you.
