An influx of Russians into Georgia has stoked fears of war. Many also fear it could hurt Georgia’s chances of gaining membership into the European Union.

This is the first 60 Minutes piece I've ever linked to. It's an analysis of the parallels between the Russian invasion of Georgia and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It also speaks to the dangers of not standing up to imperialist powers like Russia when the cost of doing so is low.
Had the West stood up to Russia in 2008 when they attacked Georgia we'd not be spending billions now trying to defeat them in Ukraine and to dissuade them from any further aggressions...like towards Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania.
This is also an object lesson that any country with a significant population of Russians should take every measure to either assimilate them or force them out. These Russian populations are an existential threat to any country in close proximity to Russia.
It is also clear that Russia is a danger to many more countries than just Ukraine.

Sorry MeganC
Georgia is not my flag, not my country, not my war, not my neighborhood.
Most of all USA is more broke (based on debt/GDP) than all major countries in the world. It is madness to borrow more and more to protect borders of foreign countries when our country has unprotected borders.

The Neocons of the U.S should never have caused this war!

Russia has no values, therefore no culture. The people don’t believe in anything.

Sorry MeganC Georgia is not my flag, not my country, not my war, not my neighborhood.Did you read the article? RUSSIA invaded Georgia, and your response is to blame it on MeganC and the United States? It seems like a huge logical disconnect.

“You sure do love war.”
War in response to war is not a vice.
Indifference in response to war is not a virtue.

Why is that any different or better than your sugar daddy Soros funding NGOs that encourage ‘migrant’ invasions of the USA, UK, and EU?
