Georgia started bombing of villages of South Ossetia yesterday. Why the US government calls South Osettia

Question

separatists movement while Tibet monks who want separate from China they call them people fighting for their freedom. I know that the US has its own interest in the region but what about justice. Is it a double standard in the US foreign policy? Please explain. Thanks

Answer 1

Im sorry to say this but politics is all about double standards. period. anywhere.

politics is about picking your battles according to whats convenient. thats it.

remember the armenian genocide? well,even israel did not recognize that the deliberate killing of 1000000 armenians by the turkish amounted to genocide because israel has strong military interests with turkey. of all the people on earth you'd think that israel would understand what a genocide is, a genocide committed by the way few years before their own. but nothing happened. they came up with an awkward re-phrasing that avoided blaming turkey for what happened.

frustrating, sure, but thats politics.

it may sound cynical, but the sooner you understand it, the less disappointed you will be.

Answer 2

Tibet was an independent country prior to the Chinese annexation of their country.

South Ossetia was never an independent country.

Why do think them the same?

Answer 3

I do not know how much you are informed in occasion of this situation but I know that from various sources say lies to you and try to incite you against Russia. Yesterday Georgia has begun attack of South Ossetia though itself earlier spoke about reconciliation. In current of yesterday Georgia has subjected all South Ossetia to continuous bombardments from howitzers, rocket complexes "Hailstones", etc. then in the city of Tshenvali which is capital of South Ossetia the Georgian tanks and in already today's morning the Georgian bombers dot blows on cities of South Ossetia have entered striked. The Russian peacemakers have received impact in a back hundred parties of Georgia, on the Russian arrangements where there are peacemakers fire from artillery and tanks has been opened. There is a lot of lost among the peace population and Russian a soldier. Georgia in the impudent image wages war, and not only on fields of battles but in mass media. The Georgian president tries to misinform in every possible way the world having told that Russia the aggressor which has attacked Georgia but it was not and will not occur. Today also the Georgian president has declared the general demobilization by means of which has collected militarians in a reserve (students, etc.) Also has sent them on front and to which most part this war is not necessary. The Georgian militarians having grasped some villages of South Ossetia finished wounded men of Russian the soldier and which most part Russian also the Georgian militarians in a pointed manner showed peace inhabitants to reporters as they shoot on the Russian positions with peacemakers and those do not answer as if they will answer with counter fire that greater war will begin. It is a genocide in the present kind and Russia within day tried to reach all world while all proceeded it and suffered but today the Russian tanks and were put forward to South Ossetia to stop bloodshed and to stop this war and the Russian planes did not bomb Georgia as the Georgian president speaks, it is a deceit by means of which Georgia tries to expose Russia guilty and to set all world against Russia.

If you will have questions and I as far as possible shall answer them.

Answer 4

First of all we do not have any sort of reliable information on what is going on there right now.  All we know is that there are claims that villages have been bombed.

BTW - the real conflict here is between Russia and Georgia.  S. Ossettia is simply the place where the fighting is occurring.

Answer 5

Those are two different situations. South Ossetia has never been an independent nation. The region has been considered part of Georgia for at least 200 years, and before that it was not considered an independent nation. Thus, what they are trying to do is separate from Georgia.

Tibet, however, was an independent nation that was taken over by China. Thus, they are fighting for their freedom from China. When people are trying to form their own nation for the first time, they are trying to separate. When they are trying to reagin their independence, they are fighting for freedom. The results can be the same, but the meaning is different.

Answer 6

Rest assure, the CIA is involved and the Pentagon Generals are working up a lather to get our troops in the middle of it.

Eisenhower warned us in 1953, to dismantle the Pentagon, which is an out of control monster, eating our taxes and dictating our politics.
