"Russians were told over breakfast yesterday what really happened in Georgia: the conflict in South Ossetia was part of a plot by d**k Cheney, the Vice-President, to stop Barack Obama being elected president of the United States...... .

The Obama angle is getting wide play. It was aired on Wednesday by Sergei Markov, a senior political scientist who is close to Vladimir Putin, the Prime Minister and power behind President Medvedev.

“George Bush's Administration is promoting interests of candidate John McCain,” said Dr Markov. “Defeated by Barak Obama on all fronts, McCain has one last card to play yet - the creation of a virtual Cold War with Russia . . . Bush himself did not want a war in South Ossetia but his Republican Party did not leave him any choice.” The Americans were now engineering an armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Dr Markov added."

Answer 1

... you're not suggesting it has anything to do with the recent upsurge in US arms shipments, ever since Shevardnadze was ousted?

Or the 1,500 or so reported US Special Forces 'advisors' who arrived in the last couple of months, or the hundreds of Israeli 'advisors'.

... that would be thoroughly coincidental, would it not?

Answer 2

Because all these wars are carefully crafted to make trillionaires wealthier and more powerful.

Answer 3

I'm reading speculation, but I am not seeing any solid facts.

I bet I could make up a scenario that is as good or better than that one...no...wait, that sounds pretty much like the same one I made up.

Good luck proving anything though.
