If WWIII started because of the conflict with Russia and Georgia?

Question

I'm just curious

Who would the United States back up

Is the United States even allied to any of those 2 countries?

Answer 1

allied with georgia matter of fact georgia was bidding to join council and if it would of happened and they would of been attacked like they currently are then united states and britian would go to war with russia probably causing israel to join and then china would back up russia and iran would back china and russia s.kor would join america and north would join russia turkey another allie and sadi arabia would join america

Answer 2

yes bush supports georgia.  the georgian president thought that his taking back ossetia would virtually assure him membership in NATO.  he was told not to seek a military solution.  he screwed up.  bush conveniently went to a sporting event during the georgian aggression.

Answer 3

The USA considers Georgia a strong ally, especially as Georgia had the third largest contingent of soldiers in Iraq after the USA and Great Britain.

It is in the interest of the USA to defend Georgia diplomatically at first, while urging our NATO allies in Europe to be ready to intervene should Russia push past the disputed region (and apparently they are).  After such intervention the USA should get more involved; however, it is vital that Europe stand up for itself and be seen to take the lead.  If they do not, it says nothing good about our alliance in the long term, as it could then be seen that NATO in Europe is unreliable.

Answer 4

Yes.... As well as you have intruded in Vietnam and Iraq........ Killing and burning out all on the way....

Answer 5

Georgia is a very strong ally and the Russian government has quietly slipped under control of former KGB personnel at all levels. The Russian government has quietly been opposing US interests worldwide when ever they can do so on the sly with out lots of fanfare.

Answer 6

The Georgia-Russia conflict will indeed start WWIII.  If history is any indicator, world wars are always started by territorial disputes.

I hope the US would back up Georgia and fight Russia, just like old times.  It'd be cool to see Russia get DESTROYED by the US's 21st century weaponry and aircraft.  Finally put all that tax money to good use on a real classic war (not the boring Iraq stuff).
