Should america butt out of the russia/georgia conflict ? do you really want russia advising you on iraq ?

Question

the holier than thou attitude must stop , it is making us all sick to our stomachs .

Answer 1

The US do nothing. Russians are strong. But you should help poor georgians, thats for sure.  

Answer 2

It might be a good idea since it was the US with Israel that precipitated the conflict.

The creation of the conflict in Georgia is intended to block Russia from materially supporting IRAN during the impending invasion.

Israeli military advisors were involved with the Georgian offensive against South Ossetia {pop 70,000}.

On 14th July Georgian & US troops started a joint military exercise.

The OSSETIANS speak ossetic, an Iranian language. They're descended from Iranian tribes of Eurasia.

They became CHRISTIANS during the early middle ages.

From 1922 Ossetia was part of the USSR.

Many of them would have Russian passports. Unlike Kosovo, the US will not support an independent South Ossetia. No need to ask why the US media is so biased on this issue then !!

Answer 3

Georgia – aggressor! Georgia at the beginning of the war. CNN, BBC - lie. Night Georgian soldiers killed 2 000 peaceful sleeping residents. Saakashvili - a war criminal! Do not believe CNN and BBC.  Russia does not want war. Russia defends women and children S. Ossetia! S. Ossetia destroyed. Tell the truth all people! Apologize for my English  

Answer 4

The best thing america can do - it's force White House's toy pet Saakashvili to take out his troops from S. Ossetia.

Answer 5

the US has been an strong supporter of Georgia ever since it has expressed it's desire to be in NATO, they have even asked for troops to be sent.

Ideally, the US should stay out of it, but what can you do? Ignore when people ask for assistance or help out and be seen as getting too much in other peoples business.

Answer 6

Keep feeding on the U.S. propaganda.

Georgia is the aggressor here ... with the approval of their boss the U.S. of course. Georgia launched the attack on South Ossetia did not want to be a part of Georgia. Which is why you saw photo of South Ossetia tanks burning on the street of South Ossetia!

This move is clearly another step of the U.S. trying to expand influence in that region. Russia would not tolerant Georgia aggression against South Ossetia...

P.S. Georgia is one of the puppies of the U.S. who is used to expand U.S. control in that area.

So why did the U.S. attack North Korea and North Vietnam when they tried to unite their own country?  Double standard?   Hiding agenda?

Answer 7

RUSSIA is a PROVOCATIVE AGGRESSOR

It started with Ossetian Provocations on the de facto borders. However, After little shootouts Georgia declared unilateral cease fire. It lasted several hours but Ossetian separatists - or let me say the ones that did not wish to stop - continued shooting and taking "lives of Georgian villagers".

Georgia was alarmed and decided to "restore constitutional order" in the region or maybe they meant over the ones that did not stop shooting. Anyhow, that is what Russians waited for so long and decided to "make them pay" (Vladimir Putin) for what they did. (what they did on their OWN sovereign territory.)

It was easy for them to mobilize troops because they have been stationed near the borders for WEEKS.http://mnweekly.ru/news/20080718/5533837...

prompting Georgia to think it was a well pre planned provocation. and that is what I think. Russia does not want Georgia to enter NATO. Russia does not want stable Georgia. I am sure they will find something with Ukraine too. Things like pro Russian region Crimea in Ukraine and so on and so forth to mount tensions and Black mail them. Very aggressive. War criminals !

P.S. NEVER LISTEN TO RUSSIAN SOURCE ; such as russiatoday.ru and etc. Propaganda machine.

Answer 8

The US is not going to step into this conflict. After all their military is already stretched to an extent where they are having questions about Iraq and Afghanistan. Oh and if you knew how the system works in the US, then you would see that the president (Bush) would have to go to Congress first to get approval. Seeing how he has F*cked up already, it is very unlikely that the Congress is going to allocate some force to the conflict.

As Iraq is concerned, well the US is there and Russia has nothing to do with it, so i don't even see why you have asked that. However, it would benefit for Russia to advise or even to contribute to the conflict there, since they already have a lot of experience in fighting remoterebelliouss regions with insurgency. And it never hurts anyone to listen to advice, its not like you are forced to take it. But still i do not think Russia is going to get involved in Iraq.

Answer 9

Do not specify to us. Russia.

Answer 10

Check out "Operation Immediate response" for proof enough of USA complicity. Take a look and make your own mind up!. This seems a Cold War return over Oil, always Oil. Cuts the Russians off from Iran as well. This is interesting as Russia had an alliance, although much under reported that they would help Iran if they were attacked.

Answer 11

Just facts: Russia did not initiate military action.  Georgia's forces has bombed and destroyed the region's capital and 1400 civilians in just the 1st day.  There can be no justification for that.  DO NOT forget this point. For the rest, see the videos below.

Answer 12

America isn't really doing anything in the Russia/Georgia conflict.  Suggesting that the combatants stop fighting (and slightly condemning the state which is currently winning) is SOP for diplomats when conflicts begin.  Other countries are doing it right now as well.

As for whether we want them advising us on Iraq, I don't think it would be a bad thing for Russia to provide advise for the US in Iraq.  They have a major steak in the conflict (as their pipelines which run through Georgia provide Turkey with a tremendous percentage of their oil.  Turkey, in turn, is the northern neighbor of Iraq and has a huge interest in the region).  I would argue that the US State Dept. would encourage greater international participation (even if it is only initially advice) as a way to develop a more secure provisional govt in Iraq.
