I'm glad I don't live over there. We see life and death through tv screens and through radios, and it loses all meaning to us.

this is the start of it, buckel your seat belt, there is a chance nato could get invloved.. if it gets out of hand

You fear mongers annoy me
There is Zilch, I reapet Zilch chance of this becoming WW3/Nuclear war or anything you dream up off to scare yourself and everyone else
This is a very bad situation, Many people could die in the violence
But the US or NATO will not threat the chance of Global war over a country that most people didnt know existed t'ill today
This is not an end of times war, this will not spread over into a war between the US/Nato and the Ussr
The worst that could happen is georgia is bombed back into the stone age for the surprise attack that they poorly attempted
And no country would be stupid enough to stand in Russia;s way

Well I'm glad I live in a quite, peaceful island that hasn't waged war in years.
I wouldn't want to live in America,Russia,China or any of those places. In fact sometimes I feel bad for those kinds of places.

This is unbelievable. Why do the Russians feel justified in their Georgia position?

I'm trying to think of an analogy, but I can't.

I mean what if England just decided to go invade former territiories?

This could be potentially disasterous. But ya know what? I'm sick of it. Let's have it out. This time, if we win, we eradicate the core. We try these people for all the crimes. Every KGB should have been imprisoned in 1991.

Where's the EU? Why do they want Russia to gain territory or dictate policy in the west?

Oh the maps outdated.

Sorry. You're right. The situation is completely different.

So Estonians aren't Russian Allies? Well that doesn't seem to bother the Russians. Just ask the Georgians.

Get it? What's Estonia going to do when Putin rolls up with a battalion or 20 of tanks and a grievance?

Or anbody else in the North or East.

Yeah, you got me. It's ALL different now. 17 years later and it's all changed.


I know what the F&^$%#in' map shows. Read the text that accompanies the map.

War on Terror is a mind-culture and real estate grab by the West to counterbalance the growth of free-markets in the former Communist states. We need the supplies and the land. It's the border/frontier. We've been fighting Russia there for a long time. And still are.
We need the power brokers in those teritiories on the West's payroll, not the East's. And eventually everybody has to take sides. Watch.

China in Africa. Territiorial claim for the East.
Russia reclaiming former teritiories using the same kind of crap rhetoric we use to invade countries that we want.

It seems painfully plain to me because it is a predictable continuation of global conflicts as old as civilization itself.

So who wants Putin and who wants Haliburton? Obama and Osama ain't savin' nobody, nohow.

Few facts straight:
1)GEORGIA attacked and autonomous region
2)Reports started to flow that they were doing an ethnic cleansing of Russians and Ossets in the region
3)Russia intervened
