Georgia gets the jitters as Russia outlines its requirements

english.pravda.ru — Presidents of Russia and France, Dmitry Medvedev and Nicolas Sarkozy, have come to an agreement on the regulation of the conflict in South Ossetia. The agreement is based on six principles. Dmitry Medvedev strongly refuted statements from the Georgian administration which said that Georgia had ceased fire in the conflict zone two days ago. �This is

  • Dimanoff, on 08/13/2008, -0/+27It’s so irritating to see Georgia hiding behind the all-mighty West. Has anyone here seen the video of the Georgian president running away like a coward from the sound of artillery shells somewhere far in the background? He is like a miserable jackal who tries to save his worthless skin. The USA and England claim that Russia may face serious political problems in the future – they threaten Russia with the political fallout and defend Georgia as much as they can, but they never blame Georgia for burning a crowd of South Ossetian civilians alive locked in a barn. This is insane.
    • dsoleil, on 08/13/2008, -7/+3If I were Georgia and I just got invaded, I would look for someone big and powerful to hide behind too. Sad situation all the way around.
      • GlobalistShill, on 08/13/2008, -0/+11Georgia, essentially acting as a proxy for US and Israel, initiated this conflict before Russia moved. However, as part of the ongoing propaganda campaign on US citizens, this fact is either ignored or spun in American mainstream media.
      • socialuser, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1Someone big and powerful must have been Russia and Georgia made a big mistake when spoiled its relations with Russia...Now USA turned its back to Georgia...
    • richmomz, on 08/13/2008, -0/+7Might have something to do with the massive Caspian oil pipeline that flows through there...
    • chaserm, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2I just saw it! What a crock of ***** the Georgian president is spewing! And the US media is practically sucking his *****.
  • maxyRO, on 08/13/2008, -0/+21Nice to read something that's not BBC or CNN.
  • crazymaster16, on 08/13/2008, -2/+20It is not me to judge who is right or wrong in this conflict... but i hope it will be solved peacefully.
    • silentboom, on 08/13/2008, -0/+4It is when your government may be pulling the strings. Then it is your Requirement to be informed and critical if needed.
  • brightlight4, on 08/13/2008, -0/+6Georgia encouraging other states to leave the Republic may complicate things too if they decide to follow Georgia I guess. How would Russia react to that, and the US, I imagine the US (and UK etc) would encourage them to pull out of the Republic, but that would only create more bad feelings between the West and Russia.
  • stonebear, on 08/13/2008, -1/+8I hate to see the NWO lackey Sarkozy in the thick of it. It means the true negotiation is actually between Russia and the notorious, world dominating fascist network. Georgia was just used as a pawn to get Russia swaggering back to the secret table; "You cancerous old moneybags! You seek to strangle the world with your central banks, but not while Russia can still devour nations!" Of course, the Illuminati know well that pride comes before a fall, except for themselves that is. "Yes, Russia, you are mighty indeed! Whatever you want with Georgia, but walk with me, and let's talk about money a while."
  • militarycoup, on 08/13/2008, -1/+7How would washington react if some of the states in America decided to become independent republics because they didn't like the way the whitehouse run things?
    • brooho, on 08/13/2008, -0/+2you think kill 2000 of them?
    • tomjeff08, on 08/13/2008, -0/+4I wish we could find out. We have relinquished our power to a small group of thugs. Washington could be taken in a week or less.

    it's amazing, really
  • Leadman584, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3Chill on Russia there cowboys. The US is planning on Russia as it's sole source of manned space travel in the near future. 2010-2014 or longer, we plan on hitching rides into space from the Russians.

    Maybe we should get more money to NASA, or just play nice with Russia and China. China may have a moon colony before we ever get Orion into space.
  • funkymonkey01, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2It's hard to know what the Georgians actually thought they could achieve.
