REPORT: Putin declares War has started with Georgia

[INforRP]

Wow, the US actually has a chance to aid Georgia in a legitimate "Just war" of self-defense.

You are kidding right?

Also since when did we start believing anything from CNN?

It was unclear how the United States might react to a Russian attack on Georgia, a strong American ally, whose shift toward the West and pursuit of NATO membership has deeply angered Russia.

Our fate is in the hands of CNN journalism. I always knew this is how it would begin. WW3 people.

If the US intervenes you may be right, but I don't think they will. The EU and NATO surely wont.

However, I do not think that this will be the last Russian occupation of a former Soviet member state.

Even here in Denmark we have had to scramble our fighters 9 times this year because of Russian bombers flying on the very border of our airspace. This is what they did during the cold war as well.

I'm scared this means we will be bombing Iran very very soon.

The BBC is reporting that russia is responding to reports of ethnic cleansing in South Ossetia.

Nah, I'm not.

However, I am also skeptical of a US intervention, as that could easily spiral out of control.

Hah, it's worse here in Finland. Russian aircraft keep constantly violating our airspace. Every once in a while we have to read it in the news, sometimes fighters are scrambled.

Yes, i saw that. CNN is reporting this as well. It is a very complicated conflict from what i have been able to research in the past few hours, so i will suspend my judgement about who is the biggest aggressor untill i sort it out.

As we speak however, the russian army is crossing into Georgia, not the other way around.

We all know how they resent the whooping they recieved at the hands of the finnish people.

I have studied your war, and i have unending respect for the spirit of the finnish people, and your willingness to take on those impossible odds to defend your freedom. It was truly David beating Goliath.

Russia buzzes Alaska airspace all the time. It never makes it to MSM.

QFT. I have always found it ironic that Finland fell to the Axis just as the Soviet Union fell from the Axis. I know it wasn't and isn't funny, but it is almost like they were willing to fight on any side provided they could kick Russia's ass.

Isn't Holbrooke a Bilderberg attendee?

I'm not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Well thank you

If I'm proud about something in Finland then it's kicking Russian ass in WW2

Danish Media are now reporting that the US has made the following statement: "We support the territorial integrity of Georgia, and we are calling for an immediate cease fire".

The article also says that a special representative has been sent to Georgia to mediate, and that 127 american military advisors are currently stationed in Georgia.

And with Moraine Saulniers, Nieuports and Curtis Hawks, no less! You didn't even have a proper slingshot to take Goliath down with!

Just amazing stuff!

This conflict is not going to end until Russia storms the capital.
