The Bush administration just announced it is giving one billion dollars to the nation of Georgia, why?

Question

How does everyone feel about this?

Answer 1

The US really needs to take action against Russia. While it has spent Billions of dollars for years on Israel ( one of the highest income countries) it forgot regions that can be very dangerous. Short term I dont think US will benefit from anything there, however, on the long run it is immensely important. It is time to see the real problems instead of wasting money on things like Iraq while even iraqi government does not need the US there any more. After all Georgia was the third largest contributor in Iraq after US and Britain.For a small country that is almost one fourth of their army.

PS Actually that BIllion program was Obama and Bidens initiative after Biden visited Georgia week after the conflict.

Answer 2

It makes me a little hot under the collar. We're already in debt up to our eyeballs! It's not our place (America) to meddle in the affairs of Georgia (and by extension Russia) I just want to know who made it our job to stick our noses into everyone's business. The world can't do anything without Uncle Sam holding their hand. To be honest, I'm sick and tired of the United States being EVERYWHERE. That conflict had nothing at ALL to do with us. We need to stay out of it.
