Ossetes are not Russian. They are Sarmatians or Persian not Slavs.

“Allies of the US don’t commit Sebrenicas.”

Are you talking about Naser Oric’s “men and boys”?

IS taht a joke? The USSR was an aggressor nation in World War II and was functionally allied to Nazi Germany from August 1939 until May 1940, then the wolves turned on each other.
Are you a communist or merely a follower of communist slavophile propaganda?

Plus Russia does not want Georgia to become NATO and house additional US bases! Georgia is not the bad guy here.

This aggression by the Russians guarantees their country will get the next available awarding of the Olympics.

A small correction, to your otherwise excellent post. They were allied until mid-1941.

Why should we get involved here. Not my war, not my continent. Let them fight it out without us.

Putin isnt christian he uses that to sway the brainwashed idiotic masses. He’s an evil man. They are the reason Iran is a threat today. Itys russias fault and they are still arming them.Yet the idiotc russians/russian supporter thinks its ok because they say he’s christian(lol not). I tire of the hyphenated americans with conflicting allegiances on this blog(you know who you are). Either you are American and support our interests,allies, and cause or you need to go back to your homeland and wallow in their propaganda and suffer their same fate in the end.

russia has been handing out passports in Georgian territory for four years and massing troops and tans at the border. They are the aggressor.

Good luck Georgia. I’ll be honest, I haven’t followed the Georgian region close at all, so other than thinking Russia shouldn’t get involved, that’s about my only thoughts on this.

They fought for us in Iraq. We must fight for them in Georgia.

There isn’t going to be any 7th Cavalry to the rescue here. Not under these circumstances. The U.S. isn’t going to get involved in direct support to the Georgian just the same as the Russians are not going to come to the rescue of the Serbs over Kosovo.

Apart from the training and advisors already supplied to the Georgians this is going to be it. No U.S. administration is going to get directly involved either with the immediate direct supply of materials or assistance in this matter.

Despite all the high-powered weapons in use now, there is still something very intimidating about a convoy of tanks of the move.

Yeah, they make a lot of noise, kick up a lot of dust and exhaust.

Personally, the last place I'd want to be in a modern *real* war, would be a tank. They make nice targets.

80% of the nazi soldiers killed in WWII were killed by the Russians, and no, I’m not a communist. Are you a fascist or merely a follower of fascist slavophobic propaganda?
