Mistake to support Georgia instead of Russia?

Question

The Georgians were the aggressors while the Russians were just helping Akhbazians and South Ossetians. They deserve their independence while Georgians tried covering it.

This is just another remake of the recent war in Eastern Europe.

Answer 1

I guess you did not hear what President of Georgia has said.  The facts are untrue. President of Georgia has been educated in United States before going back to his country before ran for President of Georgia because he wanted to give it back to the people. I have known to that Russia always has wanted to go after Georgia and South Ossetia for oil thing for years. I don't believe Russia is trying to help these people in South Ossetia by bombing in that section of South Ossestia.. If Russia want to help the people, then they could have ask for UN peace keepers.  Russia did the same thing in Afganstifan in 1980's. Its okay if you want to be side with Russia,the angry giant country, I side with a democratic country, Georgia.

Answer 2

You know what I get sick and tired of? Us (America), having to fight everyone's battles. Where is the rest of Europe to answer the call of Georgia and Russia? Where's France? England? Germany? Spain? Portugal? Poland? Austria? Italy? Etc. The list goes on, we're already fighting a war in Iraq. U.N. ***** up again.

Answer 3

personally. we already failed by choosing a side. if only the U.S. could go back to its ways of neutrality =/

Answer 4

U.S. uses Georgia's Americanized government as a satellite nation against Russia. So of course U.S. would be allied with Georgia because Russia is still considered anti-western and being on the side of Russia will be "politically incorrect". I do smell alot of hypocrisy in Americans saying Georgians have the right to take back Ossetia after American forces stopped Serbia from doing the exact same thing (Kosovo 1999).Plus they have to deal with the whole invasion of Iraq ordeal.

Answer 6

Thats not true. The russians invaded a peaceful country and were absolutely the aggressors.

Answer 7

We were already allied to Georgia.  If anything, we should have been neutral.

Answer 8

yep ive been pissed about all the people who have been playing russia like the bad guy. georgia is just lucky they have their friends the superhero usa or else georgia would be gone by now

Answer 9

Wrong the Russians were and always will be the aggressors. Listen Those regions you speak about South ossetia and the other one well they border Russia on the north and Georgia to the South. South Ossetia is actually a province of Georgia but there are a lot of Russian loyalist who are just upset that Russia has lost control over everything it once held in the U.S.S.R. Why are there Russian troops stationed in these countries anyway?

Answer 10

US geopolitical position is to blame. The US deployed their advisers to Georgia, promised them NATO membership and it to a large extent backfired. First they didn't expect numbnuts Saakashvili to shell civilians and peacekeepers in the middle of the night. Then they didn't expect Russia to retaliate. Or maybe they did, if they make an enemy out of Russia in the media McCain will have something to run on.

Answer 11

honetly bomb the **** out of russia. thats one problem down.

Answer 12

Russia's pretty powerful. I would really hate for the U.S. to get involved in this, but I don't see any respectable way around it. This is getting out of hand. I hope there's not a WW-III.

Answer 13

That's like saying America was the aggressor during the US Civil War.  Nonsense.

Rebels aided by Russians attacked Georgia.  Georgia retaliated.  Russia invaded.  It's that simple.

Answer 14

Most georgians left South Ossetian after 1992 events and the peace force installation that followed to control the region .Lots Russians also flew to North Ossetia .South Ossetia wants a reunification with North Ossetia and their independance.Actually only South is independant and have his proper government and army

Don't forget south Ossetian have been seperated from north Ossetian thats is still in Russia. Thats why 85% of the only 70 000 South Ossetiansleft since 1992 are Russian Origins

2004 Georgia get back to Nationalism and told openly they ll get back South Ossetia and Abkhalbia from their independance only ONU didnt recognise.People from these regions just hate Georgians since 1921 and are not really for Russia but they see an opportunity to get their way with them

Since 2006 the blood bath was on the way and thats why, there was spies from the 2 sides and General military moves near the frontier from Russian army.In 2007 .USa provides 1 billion dollars for georgia army in a 4 million inhabitants country where people live with 30$/month

Georgian President really did a bad gamble bombarding 1600 civilians on the first attack for only 12 South ossetian military deads and sending modern USA artillery (ultrason canoons :x)around South Ossetia capital.

They give rights for Russia to invade and get control of roads and now armies and milicia from south ossetian and even albakhasia are happy getting allowed not stopping their hate even when russia army ll get back. georgia army lost minimum 2000 from their 20 000 men so they cant really do something actually

If you ask  what the rest of Europe do. Thats pretty simple, government ask and suceed  for peace treaty and ll not do more cause populations except Poland applaude Putin and are happy georgia put an end to his opportunity to enter EU.

Usa was trying to force Georgia in EU like for Turkia and europeans was trying to find ways to delay it

Populations just look badly at america for their divide and reign politic in Europe and begins to really depise Bush politics and making fun of Otan. thats why EU governments ll stays quiet and ll devellop their relations with Russia and China

Answer 15

Yeah....I'm with the Russians... They're the good guys. Yeah.  Let me go smoke another joint.

Yeah, Mr. Bojangles.....Freedom is bad...No Independence....independence is baaaad.
