for the records @ James Monnett
for the records it should be noted that in reply to:
"So Russia invading a small neighboring country that only recently broke free from centuries of Russian domination = the US bullying the world? Nice Logic."
no matter how one can twist the facts but
1) under the CCCP South Ossetia was an autonomous region
2) when the CCCP collapsed Georgia declared independence
and abolished the autonomy
3) The South Ossetian immediately rejected the decision and started to fight
the Georgians:South Ossetian win and Georgian lose,
arrival of an interposition force.
(same apply for Abkhazia)
bottom line:
No matter how you twist the facts but the
locals prefer to shoot at Georgian rather than being annexed,
for what regards "US bullying the world" just
substitute "South Ossetian" with "Kosovo"
and "Georgia" with "Serbia"
and make a study in contrast of the attitude
of the so called "free" western media.
in reply to:
"I suppose now you’ll call the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in the 80’s and Afghan Rescue Mission?"
the only problem of the Russian is that they did not call it
"operation Afghanistan freedom" or "desert storm",
also they did not have the secretary of the communist party
landing on a carrier declaring "mission accomplished"
(after all it was a "cakewalk").
I daresay it is basically a marketing problem.
in reply to:
"Paris, cause anyone who thinks Russia is NOT trying to rebuild the Soviet Union is as dumb as she is."
I wonder what would think Paris of an organization called NATO (=North Atlantic..)
involved in Afghanistan - I think she can distinguish the sea from the mountain
