Why aren't we helping Georgia????

Question

We're more than willing to go off into some stupid misadventure in Iraq, but when we have a real ally in real need being invaded, we sit around doing nothing!?

What's the deal? I know Obama wouldn't let this happen -- which is why Russia was desperately trying to provoke an invasion pretext while Bush was still in office. And don't tell me this is limited to South Ossetia -- Russian bombers have bombed civilian areas all across Georgia proper.

Why the h**l aren't we standing against this!!?? What are we trying to do, tell Europe or Japan or Taiwan or Australia that an alliance with the USA is worthless?

Answer 1

We could not.  It is not possible.  Look at Georgia on a map and it is not possible to help Georgia.  Further, Georgia is one of the seriously corrupt states in Slavic Europe and I am not sure what is happening there.

Answer 2

The United States isnt helping because we have Bush as a President.

Answer 3

We don't just go places...We have to be asked.. by other nato countries, the UN or Georgia.....

Answer 4

We can't even secure Bagdad, and people are considering going to war with Russia...when it was Georgia who started the whole d**n episode, go ahead Obama will save you, keep drinking Redbull and watching Fox News...Please keep up the good work and maybe we'll prevent the Ruskies from reaching Atlanta LOL, where do you people come from?

Answer 5

Why is it our sole responsibility to help every nation when there are Americans who are suffering? When our infant mortality rate is high, crime is up, our gun laws stink, the unemployment rate is sky rocketing...people are losing their homes....and the rich get richer...often on the backs of the poor and working middle class. I...for one....think we should clean up our own backyard..before we dictate how others live.  Europe...Japan...Australia are more than capable of dealing with stuff too. And...while I'm at it.....I don't remember Japan or Australia standing with us in the last 8 years unless it benefitted them.

Answer 6

And when were you born?

Do you think ( I know I am asking a lot) that a war between USA and Russia is desirable?

Have you troubled yourself to look at the causes behind this, or do you automatically take an anti- Russian stance, irrespective of facts.

Russia is standing up against a potential ethnic cleansing program.

Answer 7

This Geogia vs Russia question is not as simple as you think it is.  Georgia is not wearing any halos, either.

Answer 8

Because lobotomy liberals will wet their pants even more about how republicans are warmongers.

Answer 9

They are not our ally, they are opportunists. That is why we will condemn the Russian attack, as we asked them to try to find a diplomatic solution to stop the Ethnic genocide the Georgians are doing against the Ossetians. However, we can't support some opportunist government that call themselves our allies while they killed more than 30,000 Ossetians on an Ethnic "cleansing" worse than the one the Serbians did during the Bosnian independence war. So, the Russians are the good guys this time, and we won't convince our European allies to help us on a large scale war against Russia to protect a country which the government is killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians just because they are from a different race. Would be the same as to help Pol Pot or Adolph Hitler (or Josep Stalin, who was Georgian...)

Answer 10

Because

1. Georgia started this one

2. Russia has nukes

3. We are busy dealing with Iraq and Afghanistan

Answer 11

Do you understand what a war between the US and Russia would do to the World right now? Nothing good would come of it! I know that this thing that is happening isn't good for democracy. Do you want another war front? Russia is keeping Georgia out of NATO and they are using this conflict as an excuse. If Georgia was a member of NATO then you would be a witness of WW-III. Think about it, we should not get involved.
