MOSCOW (AP) — Thousands of troops, backed by hundreds of tanks, artillery and other heavy weaponry, began rumbling through the North Caucasus on Monday, as Russia began its largest military exercises since last year's war with Georgia.

The Caucasus 2009 war games are being seen by many experts as a warning shot for nearby Georgia, where the government says it has rearmed armed forces and where NATO recently wrapped up its own exercises.

They’re not worried about the US. They’re picking their nose a flicking a booger... right in Obama’s eye... and laughing about it.

Everybody else is piling on Obummer, why not Russia too?

They all know a pantywaist sissy when they see one.

Besides, he's too busy taking care of his drunk wife.

Compare and contrast the strategy of "peace through strength" versus the weakness of 0bama's "can't we all get along" pabulum. There are now crises all over the world because the sharks smell the weakness and are taking the opportunity to exploit it.

while 0 and friends are focused on 'global warming' (now called climate change since temps aren't going up and haven't for a decade).

Obama will not say anything about this to protect Georgia.... He probably will say that it is Russia’s right to conduct said wargames and that we should mind our own business.

The drugged out Obamaistas are dead certain that they are the ones everyone has been waiting for and the Russians have no interest in 'making trouble' for them...

We will pay the price for their stupidity when Russia bombs us and China and the Eurabians with their new 4th generation nukes.

Russia wants no part of 'diversity', racial justice, and the secular humanist/green agenda. They just want to rule the world.
