Russia attack Georgia

Question

Russia attack Georgia

Answer 1

Georgia picked a fight they can't win.  I think they were counting on US backing to reclaim part of their country.  Good luck with that.  Russia has been setting this up for a while, Georgia feel into the trap.                                          The US will not intercede, Russia is the only country that can inflict real damage on it, besides Bush has no credibility, anything he could say will fall on deaf ears, did he listen to anyone else before attacking Iraq?

Answer 2

What's the question?

First alarm word - oil.

European and US news media seem confused as to how to report this because they don't yet know what side they want to make look good/bad.

It appears from the garbled media reporting that Georgia has a possible breakaway region that has wanted independance for some years and wants to be part of Russia. Georgia is understandably unhappy, not wanting to lose a big part of their country and Russia has responded by issuing Russian passports/citizenship to people requesting it. This has been going on for years.

Georgia apparently started taking military action in the area recently, including using artillery on towns of civilians. Nearby Russian forces really don't have much option but to intercede to protect Russian citizens.

As I said, it's confusing, as the western press has not really decided who to hate and who to champion in their reporting  -it's been funny seeing their panic if not the carnage happening.

Georgia wants closer ties with the west and to join NATO, which is a supposed red rag to Russia. But Russia's action seems justified if early western journalist reports are true and I can't imagine Russia has any expansionist ideas other than saving face in protecting people they have given citizenship to.

Oil is probably the reason why this is suddenly important after so many years. Either supplies from Russia to Europe or deposits in that region of Georgia.

Answer 6

The u.s attacks iraq, afganistan and soon iran but americans don't care much about that any more so why care about what happens in eastern europe

Answer 7

georgia is gonna die quick, it's really no match against the mighty russia, anyways, I think russia is the aggressor, georgia is too weak to pick a fight with russia.

Answer 8

so if bush decides not to do anything and it leads to mass chaos with multiple countries involved, will the media and libs blame bush for not doing anything?  i bet that will happen to.  u just watch!

Answer 9

Actually its really the other way around. Georgia kicked off the hostilities by invading South Ossetia, which is full of Russian citizens. Now Russia is just hitting back.

Answer 10

There is more than meets the eye here. All U.S media is blaming Russia as the aggressor. Yet World media is making it clear that Georgia started it. Why would such a small country start a suicide mission against such a bigger force, you ask. Simple anyone reading between the lines of this can realize that Georgia is being used as a puppet. U.S wanted this to start something with Russia and to distract the people of what's really going on.
