Question

How does the battle between georgia and russia affect the united states?

Answer 1

Well they're our ally, and by sitting back and just trying to talk things through with the two countries, it makes us look like v****a's even though we're doing the right thing. We should let another one of its allied countries step in and take charge of **** for once.  

Answer 2

It's a moral loss to our citizens! This will criticize our ability to keep the Iraq war going. Also this means Russia is expanding and not fearing this debited Country. Soon Russia will walk over other nations. then they will go after Israel and finish them off! Then Democracy is destroyed because most of our country is founded by Religious Prosecuted Christians from the UK.

Answer 3

we are georgia's allie.

Answer 4

Just wanted to make it clear to those who aren't sure, Georgia the country, not the state in the US. I saw a picture posted somewhere that had our Georgia, the state next to a picture of Russia instead of the Georgia they are talking about.

Answer 5

You asked a great question, and I'm embarrassed by the buffoonerist answers posed thus far.

Georgia is an ally of the US, in fact, Georgia is the third largest contributor to the war in Iraq. The US impact is that Georgia just pulled 2000 soldiers from Iraq.

Georgia's president was elected by a majority vote in a US sanctioned election. This challenges the US desire to spread democracy worldwide.

Russia's disproportioned response is a clear message to the world's great powers (including the US) that despite a few economic challenges, Russia is still  a powerhouse that cannot be forgotten.  

Answer 6

It makes the U.S. look stupid.

Answer 7

Thanks to the US and UK going in to Iraq against International Law, we just look stupid when we criticise another country  breaking the law. We've lost so much in these past years. International respest and individual rights  are all diminished.
