RUSSIA MOVES TROOPS CLOSER TO GEORGIA'S CAPITAL
Kyiv Post ^ | April 21, 2009 | AP Staff

Posted on 04/21/2009 1:24:09 PM PDT by mick

Russia has stationed its forces just 25 miles (40 kilometers) from the Georgian capital, in violation of the EU-brokered cease-fire that ended last year's brief war. And in recent weeks, it has sent even more troops and armored vehicles to within striking distance of the city ahead of street protests against Georgia's president.

The Russian’s are going to take Tblisi & Obama isn’t going to do a thing. Bank on it.

And that is unfortunately just the start. Georgia, Ukraine, Eastern Europe...all sold down the river for loss leader loans by the ruling US Crooked Party.

I’m not afraid. For once we have a leader who knows how to talk to the bad guys and let them know we understand that the US had been a very bad boy and that we stand ready to make mend our past atrocious behavior.

Why wouldn’t they? I’m trying to be as objective and fair to Obama as possible, but I honestly do not believe that he has the guts to partake in necessary brinkmanship. Even worse, our enemies do not believe he does.

I missed that post. Thanks for the link.

Georgia is toast.

I think the Russians figure they have a two year window. If we can blow out the appeasers in 2010 it may make the boy president stand up until we can replace him. Remember, Carter started to stiffen after the Russians went into Afghanistan. But this guy is weaker and a true America hater. No telling what he will do after 2010.

Well, you know, the Georgian President stated on Glenn Beck’s TV show that Joe Biden is his friend and he was for Obama. So, we’ll see what the ramifications are of that preference.

No reason to worry, Russia’s defense budget is much much smaller than the U.S.’s defense budget.

Russia has seen how Obambi/Klinton respond to world events and have correctly concluded they have free reign to do as they please.

It’s not like they invaded Georgia when W was president.

And GWB was later to the Georgia Party then he was to the New Orleans Party. I know, I watched both online in real time. Pathetic US and NATO response in Georgia last time. The Russians stopped because they wanted to stop.

Yep - on their way to Moldova. (After all, gotta protect their "citizens" in Transnistra, dontchaknow.)

Bambi will probably have Hillary issue some tepid statement about how "both sides" should chill.
