Russia-Georgia War. Where is the United States?

Question

Why isn't the United State help his allied. When we went and invade Iraq for less than what Russia has done to Georgia. Sure condemned the attacks I'm sure that is going to stop them. We have spent so much time and money in a war that was uncalled for and now that we really need to step up and help a allied all we do in condemned it. I am sure that makes sense.

Answer 1

Im really sick of war thats why we got an Abomb so people would stop wars over nothing.

Answer 2

we have our own problems

Answer 3

When did it become the job of the United States to defend tiny countries who start wars with Russia?

Answer 4

I agree with you , we should be sending troops into there now . It seems that so many american`s have become selfish cowards. We are the strongest nation on this planet. It`s time we start acting like it. I am telling you it is the left wing commie liberals in this country who want`s to become like a Russia.

Answer 5

I don't see where theres any sense in your logic.  How about not starting World War 3?  Russia may not be as great as it once was but there is a way to restore peace without unnecessary casualties.  I think that the U.S is doing fine right now with not getting involved.  Do some more research, you may find the answers in greater detail.

Answer 6

I agree with Mike. This is all Putin's idea and he's not even President! Now he's a Prime Minister. Foolish ex-KGB.

Now, we need Russia to mediate with Iran. This is why we can't just help Georgia out. Why do you think NATO was hesitant on inviting Georgia in? We would be pulling strings on Russia if that would be the case.

The way I see it, make everything go back to status quo in Georgia, handle Iran, and then we could handle Russia - both militarily and politically.

Answer 7

you cant blame the our arm forces or the true U.S. patrioes like myself its not us its the goverment & politicians, but think about this every country in the world does this kind of c**p its not just the USA it's human nature people r naturally violent and sharp tongued people always want 2 fight stab people in the back its life and while some of us r not like that, the majority unfortunitly are and mankind will fight and fight untill the entire human race has eredicated itself and we destory this corrupted little blue marble we call earth. sorry but if your looking 4 a happy ending try reading a fairytale but dont blam the USA 4 the world's problems and think your country is any better than ours.ps i think your right about the Russia-Georgia War but u try and fight a whole goverment see how that works out 4 u.

Answer 8

Why isn't Europe doing anything?  We're only one country and I'm tired of sacrificing our military to fight other peoples wars.  This conflict simply shows how useless that the United Nations and NATO are.  We need to withdraw from them both.

Answer 9

U.S.A can't do anything.

Answer 10

Aycora B..You forgot the part were Russia even said S.O is the territory of Georgia..So how is it that Georgia invaded itself?

Answer 11

We can't afford the cab fare.

Answer 12

This conflict is not the same as past conflict such as Iraq or Kosovo, where the nations involved are no match for the US. Here, its Russia, and any military support would meant US troops directly engaging the Russian troops, and if this leads to a war between Russia and US, this war would be a very devastating war

Neither the US or Russian can risk getting into such a conflict

In the past, US can assist by directly bombing the Serbs and Iraq, but here, there's no way US can do that on Russia without disasterous consequence.

The only thing US can do is through political means.

Answer 13

We are respecting the Olympics and trying to talk Russia out of what they have caused and im pretty sure things will progress after the Olympics and im pretty sure since we helped the georgian troops back from Iraq and im pretty sure that we pissed off Russia a lil bit more after helping Georgia with Nato relations and so forth that we will most likely back them soon if Russia dont cool down and knock it off before WWlll is started

Answer 14

An old KGB thug named Putin is trying to recreate the old Empire of the Soviet Union.

Putin has usurped the power of the current President of Russia, Dmitri Medvedev.

Putin has been observed giving orders to the Russian Generals who are bombarding civilian targets such as apartment buildings in the Sovereign Nation of Georgia.

This is a very serious violation of International Law and is in fact a war crime for which Putin should be prosecuted..

Putin reveres the mass murders that Satlin used to consolidate his hold on power.

Putin is using many of the techniques that Adolf Hitler used to create the Third Reich.

Unfortunately Adolf Hitler started World War II.

That foolish Putin is well on his way to starting World War III.

The Bush Administartion has done a very poor job of handling the foreign affairs of the United States of America.

Unfortunately Barack Obama is even worse than George Bush when it comes to handling world affairs.

That leaves John McCain to handle world affairs for the United States of America.

that old KGB thug, Putin will not go away any time soon.

the best that we can hope for is that John McCain will be elected and will be better at dealing with thugs like Putin than George Bush was.

Answer 15

okay heres the deal russia in NOT a p***y country,

georgia attacked russia and russia was pretty much said are these kids serious?

so of course since georgia is small all russia had to do was send in like a couple of troops and airplanes and bomb the **** outta georgia so georgia could realize what a dumb mistake they made.

then georgia said "okay cease fire i just wanna negotiate"

russia replys with "no you ******* ****** with us not your really

******"

georgia is ****** now and i hate it for them and we dont need to step in at all I DONT WANNA DIE!

i love russia but i dont want them to annihilate a whole country even tho they can,

but they did what they had to do for a reason.  

Answer 16

Azerbaijan and having a look at The Aural Sea Oil deposits.

Training Commandos there and having Black Water there if information correct.

Answer 17

Russia would not be in Georgia right now if Georgia did not attack & try to seize South Ossetia. Why is Georgia trying to fight a war that it cannot win? The American military has it's hands tied behind it's back in Iraq & Afghanistan, and European countries are so spineless they would not even defend their own land if enemies came at their gates, let alone fighting in Georgia. Plus, even Bush is not stupid enough to participate in a war against a giant like Russia, near the end of his presidency. A fight between the US & Russia, is a very scary one, and not the same thing as attacking & invading a much smaller, and much weaker country like Iraq.

Why did Saakashvili assume that the Americans would come running to help them, in a war that they started? The American people want to leave Iraq, not get involved in another conflict.

Answer 18

In the western hemisphere, far far away from the Russian-Georgian border.

Answer 19

We're busy watching the Olympics and gawking over John Edwards' liaison, duh!

Answer 20

Georgia should not turn into a polygon of USA-Russia war. Georgia is asking for international help, which means - they want the world to make Russia pull the troops out of South Ossetia and change those quasi russian "peacekeepers" with real neutral peacekeepers of international organization.  

Answer 21

this is what happens when you trust united states,see they give all kind of blah blah why they didn't get involved .they have achieved their goal starting a new war (which will not end soon) between the soviet countries.at they can benefit a lot by weapon sales,
