U.S. media making Russia look like the "bad guy" but really Georgia started it all!

Question

the U.S. mainstream media here --

CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/08/...

"Saakashvili accused Russia of launching an unprovoked full-scale military attack against his country."

Russian news --

Pravdu:

http://english.pravda.ru/topic/georgia_o...

"Prime Minister Vladimir Putin stated during his speech in Beijing that Russia would respond to Georgia’s aggression against South Ossetia."

"...A Georgian shell hit the headquarters of Russian peacemakers."

Answer 1

uh..yes...but you forgot about the part where the 'cow jumps over the moon' as long as your passing along fairy tales!

Answer 2

So attacking with massed tanks, armies and planes already massed on the border was just a response was it?

Attacking Georgian towns is defending South Ossetia is it?

Get real everyone knows Russia is going back to it's old dictatorial confrontational ways!!

But whilst there will now be a number of years of strife and danger in the mid term Russia will also go back to it's old ways of an impoverished people queuing for bread!!!

Answer 3

I noticed the conflicting stories as well, though both of the ones I read came from the MSM.  The CNN article blamed Russia, an article from Yahoo blamed Georgia.  I don't know enough to tell which is correct.

Answer 4

The conflict definitely looks to be US and Israeli inspired.

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.

That's the reason why the US media is so biased on this issue !!

Answer 5

It's because George is our ally and Russia is still our rival.  Anyway, you probably shouldn't pin it all on George because you read an article in a Russian newspaper.  We'll probably have to wait a few weeks before the facts start clearing up.

Answer 6

You're right you don't know enough to tell which is correct. I am Georgian and I know what is going on in my country and believe me we didn't perform any military actions until it was inevitable. Russia is bombing us multiple times every single day whereas we haven't even crossed their border and the territories that they have been continuously bombing are very far away from North Ossetia so if you think rationally you will know who's the real bad guy!!!!
