For them ignorance is bliss.
“Some people prefer to live with their eyes closed and evade the truth at every turn.”
Just because I do not refute some ridiculous assertions does not mean that I or others do not understand, or that we are living with our eyes closed, or that we are ignorant. Your Georgian friend made some spectacular claims. It was Baghdad Bob’esque. For example, it would hardly be difficult to refute his claims that Georgians living in Ossetia were denied the right to vote. One would only need to look at the reports by the international observers, or look at the 95% voter turnout. I am sure that neither of you would accept these facts however. You would likely contrive another incredulous story. Maybe its denial. Maybe he is too close to the situation. He is obviously someone who hates the S. Ossetians and wants them gone. Maybe he is the president of Georgia. I don’t know, but his stories don’t don’t sound reasonable.
You also might wanna check your above post about claims that Russian armor crossed into S. Ossetia prior to the Georgian invasion. Satellite surveillance is more than sufficient to prove this if there is any merit to it. I am sure that the US (or Georgia, or Nato) would immediately post the images, or at least make the claim if it were true.
I doubt I will read or post any more info on this thread. There is too much misinformation here. It all pretty irrelevant anyway since Russia is gonna do whatever it wants, and nobody else is in a position to project any power into the region anyway. Even if we could, it would be a really hard sell to the US people as a just war. It would likely cost the GOP everything in the upcoming election.
Have a nice day.
