Now that Putins' military has started its conquest of the world by invading Georgia and massacuring thousands of women and children America must now reinstate the draft and prepare for World War III. Sound incredible? Sound preposterous? How does Putin strike you? Does "MONSTER" fit the bill? Welcome back U.S.S.R.! (By the way watch NATO curl up under their coward blanket and assume the fetal position.)

And what do you suggest NATO do? Last I heard, Russia still had eleventy zillion nukes left to fire at us.

The warmongers are in exstacy!

They've converted the Muslim terrorist threat into a couple wars and doubled military spending, but let's face it, trying to convert a bunch of ragtag radicals and third world states into a real threat has been hard work -- though kudos to the neocons and Bush administration for making a lot of progress. But it just wasn't like the good old days of the cold war when they could use the threat of nuclear annihilation to really scare people.

But now, the opportunity to bring the cold war back! WOO HOO!

Let's get on after them satanic commies, err, ruskies who are trying to take over the world and MAKE YOU LEARN TO SPEAK RUSSIAN!

The Georgians being slaughtered by the Russians? In large amounts?
I can't help putting in a comment on this topic.

Because I wonder to what extent the news may get blown up out of all proportion by the media or whoever.

It baffles me who takes advantage of representing the Russians in the image of blood thirsty brutal inhuman merciless monsters for all over the world.

Please argue your standpoint if this reputation is merited

I watch both Russian TV news and the Western channels because I would appreciate any chance of getting every smallest grain of the true facts about the events.

The fact is that over 30,000 refugees have already fled Georgia from the 'conflict zone' and found their safe places over the frontier in the Russian city of Vladikavkaz (The French Foreign Affairs Minister witnessed their camp during his short visit in Vladikavkaz on Aug 11 2008 just before the trip to Moscow), and many others are still attempting to get through and arriving in Russia heartily.

Why on earth are those refugees fleeing in that direction from Georgia to Russia while being still massacred by the Russians on that side? Why not sensibly running like hell towards the opposite side further from the crushing Russian tanks southwards into the depth of Georgia and hide away over the Georgian territory?

I would like to add a little off the topic in the end, to my mind, the Russian's intent of expanding to its ex-Soviet Union's boundaries, as commented at many western forums now, is also exaggerated.

And Russia's target of conquering the whole planet and getting all the nations including the US under its boots sounds nothing but a load of utter absurdity imho.

Amusingly inhuman war in Osetia became a litmus paper for many politicians. Being a native Ukrainian I can’t but comment on Yuschenko posture in the context of Georgia’s war in South Osetia. There was no miracle! Ukrainian president showed his real worth during the war in South Osetia imo! He took the side of a new Hitler Saakashvili. Btw this comes logically for Yuschenko supportive of neo Nazi elements in Ukraine itself, in Baltic states and elsewhere. In South Osetia we saw the disgusting face of neo Nazi with lots of innocents brutally killed!
Interestingly, here in Germany majority of Germans were most vocal critics of Saakashvili’s war on South Osetia.
Now what? Saakashvili declares Georgia withdrawal from CIS and suggests that Ukraine follow the lead. What next?
Saakashvili is pushing his own country to the edge of abyss ….together with Ukraine!!

Are you nuts? Ukraine made its own decision to need authorization for Russian war ships to come back to port. And they did the right thing. Russia is wrong, and is in breach of international law.








I believe the Associated Press because they are a sort of unbiased source of news. Though I think Russia needs to butt out, get out, and let a country control its territory.

Those are RUSSIANS running into Russia, because they can't except the fact that maybe Georgia will control its territory again. And the RUSSIAN controlled local governments probably called onto Russia to go help it.


It seems that Russia is now showing communistic symptoms(sorry couldnt think of another word =/) again, and they did just overrun half a country because the country sent its military to stop an uprising. How many times did Russia do that? Russia is being a hypocrite!

Conquering the world? That is ridiculous. Now maybe imposing Russian influence, or attempting to at least is more plausible. Since US-Russia foreign relations have deteriorated to the point of near cold-war state it is very possible that Russia is looking for any chance to expand its sphere of influence, especially but destroying pro-US governments.

It's time to create a complete shipping blackout that prevents the Russians from getting ANY supplies until they withdraw their troops from Gerogia and Putin surrenders for trial by an international court.
