Why do americans keep blaming Russia for the Georgia crisis?

Question

When in fact it was Georgia that created this mess by invading Southern Ossetia, a separate territory with it's own president since 1992?

Answer 1

I just read:

“Russia's Black Sea Fleet is capable of destroying NATO's naval strike group currently deployed in the sea within 20 minutes”

“Russia's General Staff said on Tuesday there were 10 NATO ships in the Black Sea - three U.S. warships, the Polish frigate General Pulaski, the German frigate FGS Lubeck, and the Spanish guided missile frigate Admiral Juan de Borbon, as well as four Turkish vessels. Eight more warships are expected to join the group.”

No wonder US and UK are suppressing the news not reporting further on Georgia conflict. What do you think ?

Answer 2

News media here in America does not inform use of the real news worldwide only thing we can do is watch fox news until the war on terror is over ..cheerio

Answer 3

Because they're ignorant. You're lucky to find an American that realizes that Georgia is a country and not a state. You seriously expect them to form an educated opinion?
