Yes, the end of self-determination for ex-Soviet Republics and the return of Russian dominance is a good thing.
I think you people would be happy to see a sovereign nation (Georgia) disappear from the face of the earth over what you think is pro-American propaganda. Cutting off your nose to spite your face is just plain stupid.
Obviously you have some research to do regarding our presence in Georgia.
While we can debate until we're blue in the face of who attacked who, if Georgia was justified in controlling thier land, or whether that land should have had the right to secede, etc. But what it comes down to is, it is a FUCKING ethnic war with roots that go back hundreds or thousands of years!
First of all: there is no debate as to who started the bombing in South Ossetia. Georgia did. Even their own generals admit this.
Second: Russia clearly knew this was going to happen, we saw this in their quick response.
I don't pick either side. It's like trying to pick between in Obama or McCain - - once you think you've started to lean a certain way, everything comes up Brzezinski.
This whole conflict is straight out of the Brzezinski blueprint: use a surrogate to do your dirty work. Nobody should be surprised that Saakasvili (sp?) was groomed by Z-Big.
(NOTE: Brzezinski is Obama's Foreign Policy adviser, meanwhile, his son writes foreign policy speeches for McCain)
Russia cannot control, or even cares to control, the Ossetian thugs rampaging through Georgian (yes IN GEORGIA proper) towns and cities. This is why Georgia tried to go into S. Ossetia to wipe these criminals out.
You actually believe this nonsense? But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here and ask you for some proof.
And while the United States should stay the hell out of it, we DO need to be vigilant against Russian aggression in the region.
Yes, clearly, vigilance is needed
After all, who doesn't want to piss off a country with over 10,000 nuclear weapons, right? Are you nuts?
Next thing you're going to tell me is we should sanction Russia? Or better yet, how about this whole missile shield thing, that's a great idea - right? And NATO troops, yeah, heck, use them all, Russia will back down - we have so many chips, don't we?
Maybe instead of reading Prison Planet all day, maybe you can start doing some research on the history of Eastern Europe and Russian/Soviet aggression, REGARDLESS who was sitting in power in Moscow. Look up Forest Brothers on Wikipedia and start following links -- you'll spend a nice long weekend being horrified.
I agree that Prison Planet is garbage, but clearly for different reasons than you. Alex Jones is paid disinformation. Anybody who can't see that is probably a 20-year-old boy playing on the Alex Jones dodge ball team. Ask yourself why he was paid by ABC to sell-out the Waco story. Or heck, ask yourself why GCN is an ABC affiliate. Ask yourself why Alex Jones appears on Fox News, CNN, etc. etc. Clearly they aren't afraid of him. Ask yourself why Jones tried to convince the entire state of Texas that Y2k was inevitable and they should riot, take up arms against gov't, etc. etc. He has been spewing his poisonous venom for years.
I hate to say it, but guys: we're in deep trouble. Alex Jones has it half-right (as usual) for a reason. To lead you in the wrong direction. Do your own research, come to your own conclusions.
The rich will always join with the rich to protect the rich. The masters of war are the builders of war: we're being played. There isn't always two sides to the story. Sometimes there is just one.
Peace, brothers. Sorry for the rant.
