"Today some of Western and Georgian media says that russian bombers bombs georgian capital Tbilisi. In fact, they are LIE AGAIN. " "Georgian Killers invade in South Ossetia to begin a full-scale Nazi-style Genocide of Ossetian People " For me that's the facts. Russian have very militarry culture like Iranians. Everybody expect from them that they would find ourself addicted and keep killing and fighting.... But not - they are withdrawing. Georgians fucked their country as they are listening to killer scams. Their solders are demons which were serving to men who is a devil - president of Georgia - scumass. Our Polish 'potato' with other presidents of Baltic countries flied in poorly protected aircraft to Georgia to talk with the demons. Propaganda tried to make from this brave even but they failed. It was too hopeless. How people can serve in such army like Georgian? Why they have no conscience and killing own people? Victoria! Thanks for the page: http://war.georgia.su/media-lies.htm
Thankfully, it seems to be over. Result? Nobody has it better now, than they had it before this "brave" action of Georgia... True, the Georgian president has been under great pressure. But he will have problems to explain this: ...However truthful may sound his explanation about "being provoked" by Russia, what immediate need did prompt to start the artillery fire, knowing how many civilians were put at risk? What immediate danger was there, which would only be stopped by such "emergency" measures?... ...The Russian action was 100% predictable. So what did he hope to achieve? Did he hope that US would support him, since they themselves use force in solving conflicts? In such case, his miscalculation was but too unfortunate... What is the lesson? In a critical situation you always act according the frame of mind you have developed previously. Have you been thinking about a military solution as your last resort? Now that is what you will resort to in a critical situation. We have but one more example of this one. But we've already had enough of them, have we not?... LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF is the only way of thinking, that can guarantee peace and agreement, especially in the critical situations. If that be your attitude, you will see your critical need -- to show MORE love for the neighbor. If there still is a lack of understanding, you will try to find place for more love, understanding, readiness to put up, to put other one's interests first. In such case, your "military force" will be your power of self-control! Such person will first ask himself:"Can it be, that there is something I failed to do for my neighbor? Maybe, failed to take into account some of his feelings?" In all the situations, peace and mutual satisfaction will be the first priority with such approach. That is, when no army will be needed any more.
Yeah, this page might be pathetic o'right. You have a lot of right with the 'force resolutions'. While people reacting with agression it is sign of their sickness. Sign that something is wrong. What? Lose of selfpower. When we have no might we become impatient and fobic. When cannot find good words to teach children and change their acts to ones we think are correct people do often choose TO HIT this 'small bastard'. Isn't that much simpler? Do not think about strategy, good and just hit - let him cry - he/she will know then what is good! But is that the really educating?
I must admit it, although the above is based on facts and is true, my conclusions in that post were in the very best case incomplete. In reality they are pathetic and one-sided. Well, without that one side it would be impossible to see the full picture. But let me compensate for my "partiality" by drawing now the whole picture of the conflict. It is clear, the Ossetian separatists don't want to be included in Georgia as autonomous part, which, however seemed anovoidable, should things go the "peaceful" way. Why? Well, Georgia hadn't shown itself "too hospitable" towards the minor tribes, once part of their "family", Abkhazian experience shows it but too well. So, Ossetians realized: after inclusion into Georgia nobody will be able to rightfully protect them. All this is but recent history of the post-soviet turmoils in the Caucasus area... As you see, every party has its kinda true reason. So, the Ossetian separatists' provoking fire, at the escalated presence of Russian ("peace-maker") troops was very transparent action. This is what all the media must have meant, when they called it "Russian planned aggression". It's a pity, Saakashvili would give in to temptation. For Russia was looking for a pretext to step on Georgia in this way or another... It's a pity things had to go this way. Russia has already set apart 2-3 billions of rubles (24rubles=1$US) for the reconstruction. This is exactly what was done in the last Chechnya campaign. Chechnya destroyed -- and rebuilt now. Sorry for Georgia, who will have to build it all anew -- again, common people has to suffer. Sorry for Ossetians, who had to pay with 1600 lives and 30000 refugees; even though the latter will be given homes and help. Sorry for Russian people, who never have a clear picture of what is what and who is who. But it is the same in the world. This all brings me back to the conclusion, that there is NO TRUTH, which can be established by arms. Somehow, politics never bring peace to ALL the parties, it is always somebody's rights to be infringed upon. As it was before, ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE. Love for fellow-humans.
It would not be so bad if that website was about anything you are trying to say. It is not. Look at this way: "Russian air forces bombing only military objects in Georgia. They didn't bombed Tbilisi" "We don't see on the video no destroyed civil objects, no destroyed homes, no killed or wounded victims." Disingenuous. "2. “Grieving” ”relative” has not forgotten to change his clothes before a new photo session." His shirt is off, that is it. Ever thought Photo No.3 was taken before Photo No.1 ? “Boys don’t cry”: “a heavily wounded” teenager remains calm and doesn’t scream while soldiers are carrying him above the “corpse” of a “killed” woman. Meaningless. "Anyone of you can take dozens of such “documents” at your backyard or at the city junkyard with simple photocamera." Mmmm More "actors"...? As I said, the website is pathetic.
I am not blaming The United Nations, I am asking where are they? It's not United Nations airplanes bombing cities, nor US planes nor Israeli. I'm not going to get into counterproductive finger pointing or to assess what percentage of blame to place on what party. I want The UN to step up and condem the fighting. Let The UN Arbitrate any border dispute. Let The UN earn thier place by performing thier job. These slackers are absent fron a crucial theater.
My big gripe is how the media and the neo-cons in our government are trying to make this whole affair into black and white, good vs. evil. You have the aggressive Soviet-like Russians on one side brutally attacking the underdog, freedom loving Georgians. And it's not that simple! Both sides are at fault and there is no absolute evil or good on either side. It's upsetting to see this childish view of foreign policy being expressed by our media and more so our government. Oh, and then there's this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7561926.stm It's like they're trying to recreate the cold war from scratch.
I kind of think their hands are tied at this point with the US bleating cowboy threats at Russia. Afterall their headquaters is in New York. I will point a finger it was US and Israeli supplied arms to the Georgians that started this whole mess.
Welcome to politics polecat. Which lie do you want served to you today? Black an' white is plain an' simple man. The politicians know that the American people are ready to accept without question that Russia is in the wrong while Georgia is the innocent victim here. Granted I feel for Georgia but they're just as much to blame as Russia is. Or to be more correct their governments are more to blame.
Why thank you. I know the reasons for it. Neo-cons are all subscribers to Leo Strauss' political philosophies, which state that to restore America's morality we need to fight a mythological war against evil in the world. It's just too much to take. I'm 17 and I'm thinking more rationally than my government?!? I'm stuck thinking about what world I'm going to live in as I grow older and I'm mortified. These people are playing games with my future. And I don't want to sit around on my computer and bitch about all of this for the rest of my life. I believe this is my only life, and it shouldn't have to be compromised for all this bullshit! Sorry for the mini-rant but it's all just so upsetting.
Then don't sit around here an' bitch. Get out there an' do it. But I'll let u in on a lil secret....... you won't get a rats ass more interest out there than in here. So be happy we give you a place to bitch. I sure am
heh, I really do appreciate anywhere that lets me bitch Maybe the internet will be the thing to change stuff. Free uncensored, unregulated exchanges of ideas. Most of this crap is only allowed because of spin and ignorance in the current medias. It's a war for people's minds. The web certainly helped me look into things, and I'm sure it's helped a lot of other people too.
What difference does it make where there headquaters are? The UN will probably make up its mind who to condemn by Sunday (responding to a US backed UN resolution). They are possibly as confused as every...well most people.
Was interesting to find this article in the British "Independent" : Russia the bad guys? Who are the West trying to kid? That is why I don't watch TV too much. It's 90% pathetic lies. So I usually wait until there should appear more articles and opinions. Then those "conflicting" messages form a balanced opinion in me, which I then flavor with my general knowledge of the situation. At least, you don't have to have your mind constantly filled with this BS. There is a good deal of more productive things one can use his mind for.
Demons agreed on missile shield in Poland. Now it will start!! There will be nex World War in 2012 for sure. They become mad. It's easy to see that they are trying to resolve problems with their personal life and existance with soldiers, arms and military industry. Young boys all over the world believe in their shit. Demons create more and more demonic powers as the monks lost their temples and they cannot meditate for World Peace in peace anymore.
Monks? I haven't seen monks. Russian Orthodox Patriarch "sanctifying" (or is it "blessing"?) the Russian military forces and nuclear arsenal and submarines. Promoting the Russian national idea and the idea of Russia's being "exceptional" in God's eyes. I wonder if American pastors preach the same about America? And Georgian -- about Georgia? ... So what's the use? They fit better with the description of "the great whore" of the Revelation ch 17-18, than with any kind of Christs's church. Or, can you show me a single government among them all , whose policy or Constitution would be actually based on the 10 commandments of the Bible? So, you have it, don't you?
