Question

If Georgia is our ally , then should we help them or just close our eyes to what Russia wants?

Answer 1

Hi yankies! if you think that georgia wqar for peace or constitution you are mistaken. your foolish government think that we will тnot o defend our citizens you are fool

Answer 2

I really don't know. On one hand, it could be a form of appeasement because IMO it is obvious the Kremlin has long term goals of restoring the old Soviet Union, and it is obvious that the U.N. is going to do the same usual issuing of "strongly worded" statements, while accomplishing absolutely nothing. This is another reason why Russia is becoming so bold. It is because the west has been castrated by left leaning policy makers. Russia will not believe for one second that the EU or UN will intervene in any real way. Just more words.

On the other hand, I don't know if the U.S. can afford to engage in another war, much less against a much more formidable opponent in Russia. I still believe we would win, but at what cost and just how much could this escalate? World War I & II started much in the same way. It's a real shame this is happening right as the Olympics are starting, and maybe not so much of a coincidence.

I think your question only raises even more question, showing just how complex politics are. Lets just hope cooler heads prevail.

Answer 3

We should but we have so many leftists in this country that it would not fly. They are the same leftists that allowed the Soviet Union to become a world threat many years ago. Democrats love the Soviet Union and anything that has good goose stepping music.  

Answer 4

Of course we should help the Georgians fight Russian colonialism, Georgia was a few steps to joining NATO, Russia just doesn't want a neighboring nation to be strong.

At the end of this conflict, the USA and Georgia should take up the job of policing South Ossetia instead of imperialistic Russia

Answer 5

I think we should just sit this out.  Russia is a powerful country and we kinda got our hands full.
