Should USA intervene in the conflict between Georgia and Russia?

Question

Though Georgia is not part of NATO, but at the cost of innocent lives and further destruction, should USA assist and take the side of Georgia?

Answer 1

We have intervened ..verbally !   We're not about to start real trouble with russia ... have you forgotten that the russians have the second largest nuclear arsenal in the world ... together russia and the u.s.a. could still destroy the world with nukes if things got out of hand ... I would never trust George W. Bush to handle anything so delicate or so important.

Answer 2

I think they should stay out.  They're causing enough problems in Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan right now to be going into any other countries.

Answer 3

we ARE intervening - diplomatically.

Answer 4

f*** no!  First of all georgia fired first!  Also s******g with Russia will not help us.  If we wage war against russia it can come to an all out war.  Nobody can say that we will beat the sh@$ out of russia because we are getting badly beaten in iraq.  The US already got involved and it turned out badly as you can see.  So ya i doubt many people want world 3 so hope and pray that the US doesn't intervene and take georgia's side!

Answer 5

Are you suggesting that since Russia won't let Georgia wipe out South Ossetia, we should send in our own ethnic cleansing force to do it ourselves? I don't think that's a very good idea, but maybe that's just me.  

Answer 6

absolutely not.  this is not our fight.

Answer 7

No need. The war has ceased.

Answer 8

NO

Answer 9

Only in a diplomatic fashion.

Answer 10

Russia withdrew and ceased fighting, but this is why we should avoid tangling alliances.  

The situation between Georgia and Russia is not our business, but Georgia has helped us in providing troops in Iraq, so the US would almost be obligated to help defend Georgia if the war did escalate.  If not, then that would be a bad reflection on the US by not supporting our allies.  We could then be considered a fair-weather friend in the international community.  

I think we are (and everyone else is) lucky and grateful that the Russia withdrew.

Answer 11

we don't have the soldiers or money to do it

Answer 12

Answer 16

With direct military action?

No way.

With logistical support?

Yes.

With moral support?

Yes.

With full military support of a gurilla effort should Russia occupy Georgia?

Yes.

With supplies of weapons like stinger missiles and Dragon anti tank munitions?

Maybe depends.  If Russia occupies Georgia, then YES.

Answer 17

i was going to ask the same question, it only took Russia two days to back off, after d**k Chenny sided with Georgia, i think it shouldent get involved but it can use its power to stop the war,
