Are Europeans concerned about Russia invading their independent neighbor? ?

Question

There does not seem to be much reaction to Russia invading Georgia. Are the Georgians not respected?

Answer 1

from the rest of the answers, it would seem so

Answer 2

No, they are more worried about a rash and unstable president of Georgia

creating a major conflict with what they consider an equally dangerous

current leadership of the US.  Georgia is considered a 3rd rate power whose only claim to membership in NATO is that the US wants to have a finger in the oil rich region of the Caucasus.  Remember the oil there is why Hilter invaded the USSR in WWII. And NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization--letting states like Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia which also border Russia join is ludicrous.

It is such  a hoot watching the current maniacs running the US demand that the Russians give back the Hummers that they confiscated from the Georgian military.  What business did G. Bush have arming Georgia anyway?  and sending in Israeli military advisers.  This isn't Kurdistan after all.

Answer 3

yes, they are very concerned.

Answer 4

Independent neighbour?  Do you mean a corrupt state with a US financed collaborator government?

We're more concerned about the US empire being the real employers of things like Sarkozy, Brown and Berlusconi.

Go home, you fascists!

Answer 5

Tell me, what do you do when the smallest kid on the block picks a fight with the local mobster?

If you can answer that, then you can probably understand the reaction.

Answer 6

Georgia is considered part of the Middle East.

Answer 7

i think eastern Europeans should be concerned more about the american trying to convince their gov to install the missiles in their country.

because that will p**s the russian and you already seen what happen to the Georgians when you p**s off a wrong guy!

and see what the american can help or even willing to help the georgians?

"Exactly what is the threat to Russia of installing antimissile systems near Russia? Which are meant to block Iranian soon to be nuclear missiles?"

well..it is the same answer of what was wrong when russian try to install missiles in Cuba which it could protect the cubans and russian interest from the aggressor USA which already had a lot of nuclear weppon?

to me, trying to install the missiles in cuba could not be  justified as well as trying to install missiles too close to the russian by the american today.
