What we did in Serbia under Clinton was wrong. Plain and simple. And this is wrong, plain and simple.
But there is the added weight of an actual invasion going on here, and an invasion of our ally...who happens to be on the tail end of a huge oil pipeline.
Putin and his cronies are figuring we do not have the stomach to oppose it. I pray we prove them wrong by providing enough logisitical, material, and G2 support to Georgia to bloody their nose badly.
The Ossetians and Gerogians have been at war for centuries.
The South Ossetians want to be part of Russia, not ruled by Georgia.
Almost all of them have Russian passports.
It’s a mess. I don’t say the Georgians have no interests here, but this was a premedidated massive attack by Georgia which totally destablized a bad situation.
I don’t believe we should clean up this ethnic mess, which Georgia turned critical with their actions of the past 24 hours, and one hour after calling a ceasefire. That was clear treachery.
