Armchair generals unite, what is your strategy for the Georgian War?

Question

Should the United States call in Solid Snake and try to stop Russia from taking over? Should we fire the nukes? Can you utilize your Xbox 360 veteran experience in Halo 3 and Rainbow Six to stop the Russians?

I think we should just use Delta Force to stop the Russians. They're so badass they can do it themselves. I watched Black Hawk Down, I know they can do it!

Freedom and liberty always has to be preserved. The US has long been known to have the best interests of oppressed people with oil reserves. Let's do this!

Answer 1

The conflict is in Europe. The few military personnel who are engaged in training Georgian forces are safe and will be withdrawn back to Germany. We got sucked into the Balkans and Kosovo. My simple message to Europe: Clean up your room!

Answer 2

Surprise: whilst Georgia are undoubtedly the underdog against Russia, they started this whole thing by aggressively attacking the capital of South Ossetia, a de facto independent state within their borders. THere aren't goodies and baddies in real life, and the Georgians are certainly not an oppressed people.

That said, I think the best strategy for Georgia would be to capture and close off the single tunnel which allows Russian forces into the country. That would limit Russia to artillery and airstrikes, denying them swift victory and increasing international sympathy with every hit.

Answer 3

If I were Georgia I'd realize that in a conventional war I'm going to lose. But then I'd remember that Russia spent years getting pummelled in Chechnya and take heart.

As for US involvement, who cares?  We shouldn't be messing around in former SSRs anyway.  

Answer 4

your reallly reatarded you know that?

Answer 5

I'll take the liberal democrat side on this one, "it's none of our business let them fight it out".

Answer 6

we will help the supressed, like we always have.
