'Mikheil Saakashvili’s decision to use the opening of the Olympic Games to cover Georgia’s invasion of its breakaway province of South Ossetia must rank in stupidity with Gamal Abdel-Nasser’s decision to close the Straits of Tiran to Israeli ships.
Nasser’s blunder cost him the Sinai in the Six-Day War. Saakashvili’s blunder probably means permanent loss of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
After shelling and attacking what he claims is his own country, killing scores of his own Ossetian citizens and sending tens of thousands fleeing into Russia, Saakashvili’s army was whipped back into Georgia in 48 hours.
Vladimir Putin took the opportunity to kick the Georgian army out of Abkhazia, as well, to bomb Tbilisi and to seize Gori, birthplace of Stalin.
Reveling in his status as an intimate of George Bush, Dick Cheney and John McCain, and America’s lone democratic ally in the Caucasus, Saakashvili thought he could get away with a lightning coup and present the world with a fait accompli.
Mikheil did not reckon on the rage or resolve of the Bear.'

Russia and the 'Free World'
George Bush has declared that Russia's actions in Georgia has damaged it's relations with the 'Free World', hmmmmm!
The same Free World where it's governments unleash millions of third world savages on their own people?
The same Free World where the indigenous peoples are banned from objecting to this third world invasion, sponsored by it's governments, and threatened with persecution and imprisonment if they do oppose it?
The same Free World where half of our incomes are stolen by those very same states, much of it to pay for the health, lodgings, employment (or more often unemployment) and education of the same third world invaders?
The same Free World where we are told we have the power to 'change things', when in fact all we have is different versions of the same political prostitutes who are selling their peoples down the river?
Well, if that is the Free World, I want nothing to do with it, Although Russia is not perfect, at least their leaders don't sell their people down the river for a quick buck, at least they don't steal half their incomes to pay for a third world invasion of African and Islamic savages, which they then unleash against their people!
We are being lied to, we are being whored out for the benefit of these political pimps, the same ones who now condemn Russia for protecting their own people, I know who I would rather have rule me!

Russophobia and Gerorgia
So, when the Serbs try to reassert their authority over land that is theirs, in fact the historic heart of their nation and chase out the invaders, that is evil and NATO must then bomb the shit out of the Serbs to prevent them to recapture their land!
When Georgia does the very same in Ossetia and the Russians take the place of NATO, then it is Russia that is the bad guy?
So George Bush condemns Russia for 'violating' the territorial sovereignty of Georgia, right! What happened in Iraq in 2003?
What happened in Vietnam in the sixties and seventies?
Did Vietnam or Iraq kill American troops in Kuwait or the Gulf of Tonkin?
Russia borders Georgia, the Ossetians wants nothing to do with Georgia and would prefer to be absorbed by Russia, the Georgians under the insane Saakashvilli attacked Ossetia and Russia responded.
Russia did not 'invade' Georgia as many western papers stated, the retaliated against a cocky Georgia.
Perhaps Saakashvilli thought the Americans would ride to his aid? Perhaps he thought the Russians would stand by and let him humiliate them, he was wrong!
Russia is in the right, perhaps they will use this to crush Georgia and overthrow Saakashvilli, well he can't say it's not partly his fault, can he?
With the Ukraine now making unhelpful statements regarding the Russian naval bases in the Crimea, it seems this may turn into something more dangerous, I hope the Ukrainians are only sabre rattling, because they would not be best serve with a war with Russia.
I am amazed at the naked hatred of Russia I have seen in 'conservative' blogs over the past two days, it seems one rule for us, another for Russia, apparently Russia must swallow all defeats and humiliations without comeback, whilst we, in the west must right every wrong and 'free' all peoples, even against their will! This is arrogance of the highest kind, it is Russia to which we should be looking for hope and protection, it is Russia that has successfully fought and beat Muslims in the recent past, not us, it is Russia that has some of the worlds largest energy reserves, not us, it is Russia that is seeing a Christian renaissance and a rediscovery of it's past, not us!
America seems weak now, it is divided and bankrupt, it's armies are broken and overstretched, it has lost its way in the 'war on terror' and like the rest of the west is being swamped by invading immigrants, Russia is strong, it is Russia we need to look to now, antagonising them now would be a folly of historic proportions.

An idiotic war!
What the hell is wrong with President Mikheil Saakashvili of Georgia?
Does he think we are going to aid him in his moronic bid for a victory against Russia?
This is insane!
I want nothing to do with a war over 'South Ossetia', I don't care if Georgia owns it or Russia owns it or if it is independent, it is no business of ours! Mr Saakashvilli's attempt to get us involved should be given short shrift, he must be told we will not risk nuclear war over this shitty scrap of Caucasian land. He must also be told in no uncertain terms that he should cease his stupid war and that he must leave power at once.
We must not allow this to go further then Georgia, it is not our fight, we must make that plain now!
