Should the USA help Georgia?

[CARLHAYDEN]

At last Bush is showing some sings of caring about Georgia, even though its too little too late. The missile interceptor base deal with Poland sure got the Russians angry though. Charles Krauthammer has some great ideas on how to punish Russia without direct military intervention beyond admitting Georgia and Ukraine to NATO.

At the rate the Russians are continuing their aggression, and the pathetic fidling of Jorge Bush, there may not be any Georgia left to admitt to NATO.

     Russia's behavior in this whole incident has been nothing less than despicable. If I were Bush, I would be talking to the E.U. about levying a trade embargo against Russia. Along with further action in due time.

Doesn't the EU get a good chunk of their oil from Russia?  Where are we going to get that extra oil from?

Yes, but only with diplomacy / weapons (essentially what we did with Afghanistan and the USSR).

Yes, but only with diplomacy / weapons (essentially what we did with Afghanistan and the USSR).

Except what we did there was stupid but I agree.

What do you mean?

Funding the Taliban was not wise and was certainly not moral. It ended up hurting Afghanistan as much as the Soviets controlling it would have(that could have been a slight positive actually). We essentially caused 9/11 to happen.

No, I know all that, I meant what part did you agree with (sorry, my question was worded badly)?

Helping them with diplomacy and weapons along with economic aid.

     From our national reserve (I think ), & if worst comes to worst, from parts of Russia that are captured by invasion forces. Hopefully, it wouldn't come to that though.

There's a delightful series of photographs capturing the essences of the Russian invasion of Georgia at the Sun.

Yes. Directly engaring our military against Russia isn't the only type of help we can give Georgia, and that should probably be a very last resort. However, what we're doing now isn't enough. Georgia has been our loyal ally and is a strong democracy. Besides, if Russia succeeds in occupying Georgia, none of its neighbors is safe, and, in the long run, neither is America.

I very much agree.  I don't think we can really afford to offer military help to Georgia right now, but we cannot let Russia win this conflict.

Russia has already won the conflict.

Not really.. Georgia seems to be doing pretty well.. Atlanta metro is booming and racial tension in the state is not near as bad as most of the south..

People in Georgia are generally well off... so not much need to help it out.. we really need to help other parts of the rural south more, however.

Are you serious?

I'm pretty sure he's joking, as James has a better understanding of the geoglobal situation than liberalrepublican does.

Check out the thread on Zimbawbwee where liberalrepublican not only gushes over bribery being good, but lavishes praise on the current dictator of that country.

I am thinking of starting threads on the President of Iran and the rulert of North Korea, so that liberalrepublican can tell us how much he admires and supports those loonies.

     I'm pretty sure that you're right about Jamespol, given his, ahem, reputation.
