NATO encouraged Georgia – Russian envoy

www.russiatoday.com

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says he hopes Georgia’s Western partners take note of what has happened in South Ossetia and draw conclusions.

“It all confirms our numerous warnings addressed to the international community that it is necessary to pay attention to massive arms purchasing by Georgia during several years. Now we see how these arms and Georgian special troops who had been trained by foreign specialists are used,” he said.

Seems , like USa and the NATO trained and funded Georgian forces

as Maloy said , it is a game of securing Caspian sea resources and Caucasus oil , that imperialist USA was helping Georgia , with the hope of provoking Russia

Meanwhile, a Russian effort at the UN to get both sides to renounce violence has failed to win backing at the Security Council.

The Security Council rejected a Russia-drafted resolution calling on Georgia and South Ossetia to immediately put down their weapons. The US, Britain and some other members backed the Georgians in rejecting a phrase in the three-sentence statement that would have required both sides "to renounce the use of force."

this in itself exposes the hypocrisy of the evil US empire and its stooges

Actually Israel has had a direct hand in it:

Manson I don't always see eye to eye with you but on this I agree 100%. NATO (US pawns) have surrounded Russia after the end of the Cold War with bases and affiliates in order to pen the Russians in. The US has taken the piss OTT regarding Russia.

US is hell bent on destabilising Russia .....


anyways , what remains to be seen is that how Russia are going to react to this ...

Friday morning, Aug. 8, Georgian tanks and infantry, aided by Israeli military advisers, captured the capital of breakaway South Ossetia, which is backed by Russia. Moscow claims that reinforcements are being rushed to defend “Russian peacekeepers” in the province. Moscow claims ten have been killed.


In recent weeks, Moscow has repeatedly demanded that Jerusalem halt its military assistance to Georgia, finally threatening a crisis in bilateral relations. Israel responded by saying that the only assistance rendered Tbilisi was “defensive.”

This has not gone down well in the Kremlin. Therefore, as the military crisis intensifies in South Ossetia, Moscow may be expected to punish Israel for its intervention.

Russia will act as it always does. In the best interest of Russia.

That is why i respect them. If it doesn't benefit them, they won't do it.

Anyways, only read this thread if you are interested in US / NATO bashing.

I'm not.

*me walks away

lol.. I can sense your internal 'turmoil'

First the ABM Shield in Eastern Europe, now this...

Why is America hell bent on reigniting the Cold War tensions here?

Are they starting to realise nobody is buying the "War on Terror" bullsh*t anymore and it's becoming an invalid excuse to justify a constant state of fear?

Hell if America wants to play Proxy Wars, Russia knows that game all to well...
They have every right to drop the hammer on the Caucasus and stop Georgia from threatening the integrity of their republics.
S. Ossetia isn't a breakaway, and has been continously resisting Georgian influence for decades. It's been autonomously governed with Russian backing since 1991.

It's only because Abkhazia is slowly slipping from Georgia's grip they fear their going to loose even more land, hence the drastic measures they're taking.

This is ridiculous. Saakashvili must be power-starved openly attacking civilians like this.
He'll get what's coming to him soon enough though.
