WOLVERINESsupercubedude64

You sir, lawl'd my ass right off. I'm scrambling to find it now.

Some how, Red Dawn didn't even pass through my head. lol

new just in the UK have shipped out 1,oo hifi system complete with James Blunts CDs to scare off the Russians!

Seriously the Uk should get involved as then that would make things worse

I disagree. If 100% of the world's governments point to a region of a map and all say "that's part of Georgia", then I'm going to say control isn't required for Georgia to lay claim.

obviously the seperatists disagree. and since they (had) have control, it wasn't their's for the time being.

[QUOTE="loco145"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]

Nah...the UN won't care.

Edit: Out of curiousity...why are you against them getting help?

LJS9502_basic

To prevent escalation?

Sacrifice one and soon enough you'll find you've lost 6.

The Ossetian seperatists' views are no more relevant then those of the Alaska Independence Party. It doesn't matter what they say. You have no sovereign status when exactly zero foreign governments recognize your sovereignty.

Russia wants pro-western Saakashvili out...Russia also wants to finish off Georgia's control over Ossetia and Abkhazia totally....

I guess we should have gotten rid of Russia when we had the chance. (Not to say we still couldn't) I just feel sorry for the citizens.

what does that mean? When did you have the chance? Alternate history is funny in this case...

Typical response from some brainwashed neo-con American racist.

What did they do to deserve this? Sounds like you all are sure it's their fault ... SimpJee

nope, I'm just bored of proxy wars and actually want to see the Russians shooting people. yeah, I may be heartless, but it eases people's tensions, staving off the next big one (well, except the native Georgia people, but as evidenced they aren't that vocal).

Canada should help and lay waste to Russia.......

They shouldnt have attacked South Ossetia, but Russia has always been brutal, they dont like Georgia so it will probably be a lesson, I am sure Russia wants to send a message not to ever do that again.deniiiii21

Well, we're faced with quite the dilemma here. Either someone steps in and starts World War III, or none does anything and we have another Soviet Union.

Let's just pray to God that Bush isn't in office when we have to make that decision. Just delay it as long as possible.

-MILITARY SPENDING: Russia's military budget is equivalent to about $40 billion this year, compared to Georgia's $997 million.

- STRENGTH: Russia has 1.1 million soldiers, Georgia has 37,000.

- ARSENALS: The Russian armed forces have about 6,000 tanks and some 1,700 combat aircraft. Georgia has 230 tanks and 12 combat aircraft.

We shouldnt be allying with breakaway Russian countries to begin with.hummer700

Not true, it has 23000 tanks.

I hope that the US doesnt get involved. that would escalate the situation into a new World War. If Russia pushes towards Tbilisi I fear for the safety of many people and many countrries.honkyjoe

Russia is either rebuilding their Soviet empire and America is going to stop them or Russia is making an example out of Georgia and nobody is going to stop them. Which sounds more logical? I'd go with the doomsday scenario, Russia is rebuilding their Soviet empire and we all going to die in a nuclear inferno. :roll:

Why do so many people want a doomsday scenario to happen?

Russia isn't rebuilding the old Soviet Union...it would be insanely obvious to EVERYONE and I would think they would have started by taking Ukraine first

corning the market for oil in the area seems more likely, however.

Russia has no goals in this affair other than to answer the call of freedom.

military force?

The same thing that gave the United States the "right" to invade Iraq unilaterally.

So if we do nothing will Georgia lose its independence? SolidSnake35

looks like it. or at least a Russian puppet government. but it's not like that tactic isn't already used by other nations.

Of course there are. My point was simply that nobody could stop the "aggressors" in both instances, so they were essentially free to do whatever they wanted.

Sarcasm, right? Even if Georgia wouldn't have killed crap loads of civilians, Russia would still have attacked them for attacking Russian troops. Georgia tried to stab Russia in the back and now they are feeling Russia's wrath. I'm pretty sure Russia is simply showing Georgia their place and making an example out of them. "Mess with us and we invade your country." It's really the same thing the US did after 9/11 and it's a common strategy that many countries have been using since the ancient times. So, really, this is nothing new.
