The Georgian sideshow

These past few weeks while the world was fixed on what's going on in Beijing, another important issue was talking place in another part of the world, in the once little known country of Georgia,

in the past when people mention Georgia, many, especially those in the United States would think that it meant the State on the East Coast of the United States, but by now most people would know about this small nation.

How did Georgia propel itself into the eyes of the world?

Well it is simple, all u need to do is launch a full scale invasion against a territory that you consider part of your country.

That is exactly what Georgia did, pouring troops into the Region of South Ossetia, which internationally is recognized as part of Georgia but in reality it has had de-facto independence since 1992. Peace between the Georgians and the South Ossetians were mantained by a peace keeping force headed by Russia.

By ordering a large scale invasion to take back South Ossetia it is inevitable that the Russians would be caught in the cross-fire. This caused Russian to take action against the Georgians to drive them out of South Ossetia.

The fact is Georgia provoked Russia, they had hoped for American intervention in the face of a conflict, they gotten too brave due to American promise, but they have forgetten that America always forgets. It is a known fact.

So Russia invaded Georgia, the Americans cant complain because they did they same thing to Iraq, a soviergn nation with a democratically elected government, but wait, that is not American idea of democracy, to them democracy is when the government that gets elected is pro-America, that's why they love Georgia so much, their president is very pro-America and hopes to join NATO 1 day.

If America can accept Kosovo's declaration of independence why not that of South Ossetia and Abkhazia?? The Russians did exactly what the Americans did, so how come the EU suddenly decided to intervene?? Is the Russian wrong for going against a nation who uses tanks and artilery on people that they claim to be their own citizens. Is a government who uses soldiers to shut down an opposition TV station such as the government of Georgia really democratic?? Shouldnt the USA be against this crimes against humanity??

It is the cold war mentality all over again. it is actually a power play between Russia and the USA. The United States set their pet Georgia to provoke Russia, but Russia swiftly destroy and crippled that puppy state. 1st let's show the pre-war states of the Russia and Georgia military.

Personnel

Russia: around 700,000

Georgia: 20.000 maximum

Tanks

Russia : almost 20,000

Georgia: 800

Aircraft

Russia: almost 7000

Georgia: 20

With such discrepancy there is no way in the world Russia could be threatened. The EU has been silenced by Russia's placing of NUCLEAR WEAPONS in the European Enclave of Kalinigrad. The Russian Black Sea Fleet has also been armed with nuclear arsenal.

There is no way in the world that America would dare challenge Moscow. But it is clearly a proxy war between the US and Russia.

The Georgian Affair, is merely a side show
