So Russia and Georgia just went to war

[??????????]

I'm personally rooting for Georgia.

<~~~~~

[??????????]

We'll turn our backs on them like we (not just the US, the West at large) have done many times before all over the world.  If we have nothing to gain but the liberty of others, we're not very consistent about helping.

dude, Georgia is the one that started this conflict.

Dude, Russia is the one ruling over the oil in the region with an iron fist. I can't find much positive to say about the Soviets over the past 90 years.

Oh, and for sure West doesn't...

The interests of the west are more in line with helping the people then harming them. Unlike the Soviets. See what the Soviets did to the Ukraine over energy a few years back.

Yeah, how dare those damn Soviets (somehow existing 13 years after their collapse) impose market prices on the Ukraine!

They shall remain soviets until they actually prove otherwise.

WMS! You're back!

Market prices had absolutely nothing to do with that incident. That was Russian retaliation against Ukraine because they hate(d) Yushchenko and were still mad they hadn't killed him with that dioxin in 2004. Yushchenko was getting too friendly with the West, in the Kremlin's opinion, just like Georgia has been doing, and in both cases, they've tried to stop it.

Correct Pym, however, you got our two quotes mixed up. I fixed it.

I don't know how I did that. I knew you were pro-Georgian.

If Dazzleman was still here he'd be shocked to see how much I dislike Russia currently. He said all liberals secretly loved the USSR/Russia, no matter what awful things they did.

I don't think the European leftists are disproving D-man.

The European Union (which by the way is mostly made up of conservative governments now but we all know you won't listen to that logic) is pretty much taking the exact same position on this as Bush.

I'm referring to this forum.

At one time I was pro-Russia and supported Russia, but now I'm entirely behind Georgia.

For what possible reason? I've never trusted those bastards.

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

Star Wars + Missile Defense = USA Win.

The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!

We should be giving air support to the Georgians.

JJ, you are so right when you talk about the paranoia of the russians. I guess it's the weather. Anyways I wouldn't trust one thing that comes out of any russian govt officials mouth, ever.
