Do you think the Russian cease fire is fake???

Question

The Russians are still advancing despite the cease fire. I think they are trying to mislead other countries. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080812/ap_on_re_eu/georgia_gorge_battle_1;_ylt=Al79LQQ3feEHT31dIDU0zqgGw_IE

Give me your opionin on this.

Answer 1

Yes, and it scares the **** out of me because the next step will be US troops and hardware going in to help force Russia back out. We don't have a choice, its either that or let Russia gobble them back up. Which would make it difficult for us to get anyone to become our allies ever again.

Answer 2

Sarko, the French president goes there he'll settle things, and btw I don't believe georgian claims anymore. There is a reason for it:

Both US and Russian media are lying. Thats obvious, as mass-media is a weapon too.

Its difficult to expect any pro-Russian stuff from CNN, right?

On the first day of fighting there was a nice movie by CNN. Featuring dark night and bright flares of starting missiles in the background of voice telling us about Russian invasion. Wait, it was only evening in Georgia and russians have joined war in the midday. It takes time to send the movie to some studio and prepare some breaking-news, at least an hour I'd say. And camera men should travel that to the front, Tskhinvali city is far from Georgian capital city of Tbilisi. So that couldn't be that night, this is previous night: August 07. And there were no russian forces in Georgia at that moment... So missiles are Georgian!

Lets take a closer look on them. They're flying in the very fast rate. Axelerate, then rocket engine stops and disappears in the night. Do you know what this weapon is? It is 'Grad' soviet era indirect missile artillery designed to kill lots of infantry in the field. It is useless against tanks and strongpoints. And it is very inacurate... Warhead turns into numerous splinters on detonation effectively killing everyone around. And 'Grad' provides rain of such rockets. Rain of death.

Do you imagine this? Without declaration of war, warnings et.c. in the middle of night, when people are sleeping at their homes someone bombards city with 'Grad'. This is not a police action against rebels, this attempt to kill as many of them (children, women, everyone) as possible and make others run in terror. That exactly happened. Saakashvili is a war criminal.

Answer 3

There were multiple fake statements about ceasefire from georgian officials. Until some times ago georgian artllery( some days ago even airplanes) continued to attack S.Ossetia.

I suppose they have to make some safe zone around conflict region to prevent the artillery fire again and keep people safe.

I can assure you that russian tanks will never enter the capital of Georgia.
