WOW... I do...RUSSIA's INVASION OF GEORGIA?!!?!? WOW... I dont know what nation your writing from.. I can see what nation your writing too, clearly your main goal is courting American support. But as an unbiased Canadian, who stuides the soviet and post soviet world, I must highlight your blatant bias and intential manipulation of facts. For anyone observing the events, or researching the build up and aftermath of the war knows taht its PAINFULLY clear, that Georgia was the agressor. It was the Georgians who clearly demonstrated their aggressiveness in the way THEY launched the mid night assault on South Ossetia, three days after evacuating all non combatant civilians = women and children. The Russians simply defended their citizens who have been trying to seporate from Georgia, ever since Georgia declared independance from the Soveit Union and refused to liberate its own oppressed minorities.<br /><br />Additionally, the president of Georgia had met Secratary of State Rice only a week before the assault, clearly obtained permission and support to attack, and even phoned US officials as soon as the war began (within hours). And how did the Americans take this? Well, Chaney pushed for a NUCLEAR solution, but settled for a proxy war. The US used the media to depict Russia as an agreesive bully, "invading" Georgia.. no mention of Georgian aggression, or of their share of the blaim, or the fact that they had been visably arming themselves, recived active US military training, and were equipped with US military minders DURRING the campaing. - So maybe spread the truth.. not just biased Anti-Russian Lies which supports the theory of a new cold war - visable by the US's "Reversed Iron Curtain" of military bases, on or around the Russian boarder...speakerbox153https://www.blogger.com/profile/12449474366038300841noreply@blogger.com
