Well let's take the Free State of Georgia near the Turkish border. Since they are considered a break away by Russia Google shows only the land mass just to put a stick in the eye of Georgians. In case corporate structure is foreign to you they control the board and the majority of shares so as to keep it that way. I went to college with a gent who was of Serbian parents, while a US Marine he had the Serb flag tattooed on the whole of his back so as to make certain ALL knew where his allegiance lays. Russians are the same way.

I just checked and Google Earth shows the exact same borders for Georgia as the most updated map on the Georgia Wikipedia page. This includes the regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The country of Georgia is as clearly labeled as the surrounding countries. If Google Earth were somehow favoring Russia, they would have at least removed South Ossetia from Georgia, but they didn't.

I suspect that you just heard a rumor about this and didn't actually check for yourself.

As I pointed out to you yesterday, Russians do not control a majority of Google shares. Again, I actually checked and you didn't.

Having run into a bunch of Serbians on FR, this doesn't surprise me at all. IMHO this person should have been in the Serbian military and did not belong in the Marines.

Russians are the same way.

I know and live near some Russian immigrants and they are not all the same way.
