Putin: Ha ha ha ha ....

Secretary: Captain !! *

Saakashvili: Take off every 'MiG'!!

Poor Georgians and Ossetians...knowing they're being cannon fodder in a game between the Russians and the West, and that they're stuck.

No one's talked about it yet, but this is the reason for all this fuss:



It's the only pipeline from the Caspian Sea to the Western market that doesn't go through Russia or Iran, hence its importance.

Anyone find it fitting that the Russians are bombing Stalin's hometown right now?

Now the war has moved onto the seas.

The Russians now have full air and sea supremacy.

Meanwhile all the airlines are getting the fuk out:

Anyone feel it getting a little Cold?

Russia's too big for us to be on its wrong side for long. Bush can do this since he'll be out soon.

Russia is a joke. They never ever had a lead in the Cold War ever. We'd own them in a month or less.

Pity about the whole "nuclear winter" thing, Jeff Tongue

Star Wars + Missile Defense = USA Win. Wink

What a shame no one wants to start a nuclear war over a piece of land half the size of Rhode Island.

Turkey has been sending weapons and power to Georgia, as well as deploying naval vessels off Batumi.

Can they get riled up by Russians returning to their border?

If there's a huge flow of refugees into Turkey then they could claim this as a security issue and invoke its NATO membership rights. That's exactly how NATO intervention in Yugoslavia went ahead.

Cutting off the BTC pipeline would obviously harm their economic status in the region.

Could be a sudden move. I bet the generals in Ankara aren't sleeping well.
