South Osetia under attack

[storch]

What is good enough for Hitler is good enough for Putin, Comrade.

South Ossetia is the new Sudetenland. Georgia is the new Czechoslovakia.

yes and and if that is the case then as I have stated before on this and other BBS soon enough we Americans will be forced to come over to europe to settle another bloody dispute.  first we will be forced to rearm england's civil population and after we liberate your continent for the third time in 100 years you will be telling us how messed up we are while you take our money.

the only thing that could mess us up is if barack hussein obama gets elected and we end up in another european war with that inexperienced tool in the oval office.


maybe it's time that America just conquers the world and well you petulent ones how it is, none of you seem to have much of a clue as to how to get along.  you don't see us over here having problems with our neighbors do you?

Brit saying such things is truly pathetic.

My Mother can't see Russian news in Australia, they run some French programs instead.

The degree of hatred is stunning.

Do you seriously think occupation and destruction of Iraq is good and Russia protecting it's people is bad?

What's the difference between Kosovo anf South Ossetia? Maybe it's that Osetins don't control drug and slave trade in Europe?

Russia isn't protecting it's people though. Osetia is a Georgian Province...

Kosovo is a Serbian province. Iraq is/was an independent country. I fail to see any decent logic in your post.

Quo licit Jovi non licit bovi, double standards, as usual.

As Russian UN Ambassador Churkin replied to American screams of "territorial integrity" of Georgia: A country that doesn't respect such things in Iraq and Serbia should refrain from such remarks.

We didn't destroy Iraq, Iraq is doing better than it ever has under Suddam Hussein.

Iraq was worse  under Suddam than it is under our troops. People have the right to speak out against the government, the soldiers. If they want the soldiers out of Iraq, THEY have to start dealing with the terrorists themselves.

Its only been the once so far...you need a second before you can have a third

Tell your mother the Russian news is on after the French news on SBS every morning at 10.00 am...but then tell her to ignore that crap and watch the ABC, SBS, Channel 9, Channel 7, and Channel 10 news programs for actual truth instead whatever rubbish NTV moscow comes up with

If you think so - then I suppose we don't have anything to discuss.

I was watching Russian news (Russia Today) a few days ago over here in the UK. It's available with lots of other global news networks including Al Jazeera. It was completely biased in favour of the Russian perspective. There was no reporting on what what happening in Gori etc.
 
Compare and contrast with the BBC reporting which talks about the damage done in South Ossetia by the Georgians on August 7th. Of course, there would be more, but Russia was extrememly slow at letting anyone near South Ossetia from the foreign press. You lost the battle for world opinion, comrade.

I was against the invasion of Iraq - a well documented fact on this BBS.

If Russia was solely interested in protecting its 'citizens' in South Ossetia, why are they still in Poti, Senaki and Gori? Why did they take over Abkhazia and push out into Georgia from the West?

If they had limited their actions to South Ossetia and immediate environs, none of this would have happened.

What's the difference between Kosovo anf South Ossetia?

I'll answer this. Not at any point were there NATO tanks 60km from Belgrade.

Enough force was used to halt the genocide - a concept the Russians don't seem to understand. I say 'seem' since I'm convinced this Georgian crisis, ultimately, has nothing to do with halting attacks on civilians. What is happening in Abkhazia, Poti, Senaki and Gori demonstrate this to the world and anyone with an ounce of objectivity.

My Mother works in the morning. What she said was about evening news.

Actual truth?! In Western media about Russia?!

[Rich46yo]

Already he "Putin" is threatening Poland.

If he attacks Poland NATO will fight. Even if NATO sissies out America would come to Polands aid. We read history books here. And how can Putin expect victory going against this? http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/index.html Is it possible he would start a major war to regain his lost empire?

I wonder what he's thinking?

He knows that small ABM deployment would be almost useless against Russias advanced ICBM nuclear force. Any fool knows that. So the ABMs are just a pretext to resurrected Russian hegonomy over Eastern Europe and the former Euro-Asia states. Like I said earlier he wants the power and control only without the monthly bills of Empire coming in.

Its really a mistake to underestimate this guy and Russians in general. Russia hasnt produced so many Grand chess masters for nothing.

I would hotly contend this point buddy.

A war over Poland.. That'd be so absurd.

[Angus]

What was the normal death toll in Iraq under Hussein if you add the dead because of lack of food and medicine?
Just food+medicine were thousands every year if I recall right.
So, even if Iraq is ugly, I guess life expectancy has gone up a bit...

[Rich46yo]

A war over Poland.. That'd be so absurd.

Thats been said about so many wars in history that all you have to do is keep the actual sentence and just replace the country name as each absurd war starts. " A war over _______.. That'd be so absurd." Just fill in the blank as the current absurdity warrants.
