Russian Invasion Of Georgia
by Don Cook
Brezinzski is totally anti-Russian government always. As Jimmy Carter's top foreign policy guy, I don't need to say anymore. That's an easy one to figure out. Georgia, feeling amboldened by the West's support, was instigating this for a long time. Killed 115 Russian peacekeepers, wounding many more. And attacking the Russian civilians in Ossetia, 90% of the population there on Aug 7th, killing 2000 people. What would the US do under similar circumstances. That's pretty easy to figure out, too. We went into Panama & Granada with much less of a provocation. And what did we do after 9/11? They are just doing what any other nation would do if able to, under the current situation. Too many people commenting on this event with way too little knowledge of the facts. No wonder they get po'd at us sometimes. We always run a double standard to them, and expect them to do what we wouldn't do. At least Bush could show some strength in foreign affairs by doing the right thing. Dressing down the flambouyant and wacky Georgian president and then asking Russia to back off, with assurances that we will not support this Georgian governments actions. I can't believe the naive newscatsers here, broadcasting silly eigth grade reports and acting like the cold war is still going. I wish they would get some xommon sense for change and look into the facts before reporting such jibberish. Russian people here, including my wife, just are appalled at the lack of respect and ignorance in such reporting. And don't understand what is behind it. Like, I want to be your friend, but if you don't look at me like I'm your big brother, I'll smack you in the head? Very confusing to them, and I must say to myself as well. I'd like to see some more fairness in reporting the news here, and not like it's still 1970 or something.
