  1. they dont want to speak russian


  2. I'm not even going to talk about the French but as for the Germans, if they even murmur displeasure at any form of aggression committed by anybody the rest of the EU will jump on them like ravenous dogs!

  3. They don't believe in getting involved in non-ally country's civil disputes. All of Europe is on edge about this, they are just the only ones who ever have the courage to speak against anything the US wishes...

    Russia is still a major power, no matter the propaganda from the Bush admin. The US, while supporting Georgia so it would assist in the mid-east conflict, is putting itself in a serious situation by wanting to assist a non-NATO country. It may be the thing that finally splits the NATO alliance in two.

  4. Yeah sure, France is scared...

    I don't see the US using any kind of threat against Russia. I don't see the US going there to do anything. Tell me what kind of punishment the US is going to give to Russia?

    France was trying to negociate, Sarkozy went there to talk with the Russian president about stopping the attack, The french foreign ministry Bernard Kouchner was in the city of Gori in Georgia, negotiating, when he had to be evacuated because of Russian attacks. Where was Bush at the time? In China, slapping womens Beach Volleyball players in the butt...

  5. France and germany are useless allies who consistently oppose any use of significant military force. They are cowards. The US should leave NATO.

  6. one is scared and the other is glad of it. in an orderly world they are useless pawns.

  7. Because they won't condone any military action; I suppose for Germany, they'd feel like hypocrites if they did, because of Hitler, but France is just cowardly.

  8. Russia supplies Europe with a large percentage of their oil. They can't do anything but become cheese-eating surrender monkeys.
