>>>Expanding borders? I thought it was already well established that Russia simply decided to teach one little Hitler, one little Hitler who was bombing the snot out of Ossetia, a lesson. But you feel free to continue to ignore this little fact, the fact that Georgia was the aggressor and got what it deserved as a result, while you try desperately to spin the facts, I'm sure nobody will notice.<<

If you got your news from reuters and the BBC as well as sites ending in ru.net, you'd know Ossetia is NOT independent, is not asking for independence, is talking of joining Russia, and Russia's puppet President Not-Putin says they'll accept whatever decision it should want to make.

If South Ossetia joins Russia where is the Russian border? Didn't it just move? And by what means?  A: Invasion and ethnic cleansing.  The Georgians are being moved out of Ossetia.

This is me looking surprised (0_0) nothing about this situation makes me look like that, why does it you?<<<

You denied at first that was what was happening.  Now you admit to it but say "so what"?
"So what" is not an argument.

And I only hear the .ru side from you.  "Russia only did what it had to, it isn't doing what everybody who isn't from Russia sees it doing, ok ok it did it, so what?"

>>>You might want to address the issue, that Russia is hostile to US humanitarian aid to a third party country, as if Russia had a say in our traffic with other countries.  I grew up around apparatchiks who parroted Moscow, you need more practice.<

Ah, reality not matching with spoken so let's just call each other names to distract... (

Um read the River and the Gauntlet by SLA Marshall about the battle of the Chongdong river

US 2d infantry division of about 10,000 with some ROK forces routed by a chinese army of 300,000 in a suprise attack

US forces held out on the hilltops until their ammo ran out, then they had to run back two miles to get more.  Whole companies were annihilated, finally US forces fled by destroying their equipment and driving over their own wounded after 3 days of fighting

Phillipines 1942 was also a disaster for 80,000 troops.

Difference is, if TIME had run a special issue HOW JAPAN WILL WIN in 1942 their office would have been burnt down and the editors lynched in the rubble

whaddya saying Glad, it was the superdelegates that pushed obama over the top not the primaries

yeah so maybe Uncle Joe should make room at the kitchen table

it would be great if she heckled him at train stops

"Joe STFU I'm BROKE! I'm BROKE it's all GONE!""

hmm maybe McCain would pay her something for that

>>Ah, so I take it we in the UK can begin launching nukes at France safe in the knowledge that the USA will not say a word until the Germans try to stop us?<<

Yes please do, only the most pleasant outcomes could result.

>>You might want to be nice to the genocidal nut-job in Georgia, you might want to overlook Georgia attacking Ossetia first, for no reason other than he buys your toys, but for the rest of us we think it better to be nice to the people who behave themselves rather than the genocidal nutters who wave the right flag at the right time.<<

Russia did kill citizens indiscriminately, Russia is expanding its borders by invasion, Russia has shown its own constitution is a joke, Russia has demanded the fall of a democratic government, and Willie is not a Russian puppet which is their whole problem with him.

Hillary owes $24million

I HOPE you mean your own beard

Neither Iraq nor Afghanistan require use of air superiority fighters.  They don't even really need fighter-bombers.  It would not diminish our wars in either region to send enough tactical aircraft to wreck the couple of divisions Russia put into Georgia.

"then good luck with WW3 and i will meet you in hell "

praps Brit, Russia will demand more of UK than USA, just the nature of the business.  When they do you may be glad of Americans like me who'd tell them to piss off or die.

I don't want to avoid direct conflict.  Let them shoot at our planes and reap death.

"this is what UN security council is for and its permanent members are the de-facto powers that are able to enforce the rules so that everyone plays by the rules."

No, its to make sure nobody is called for breaking the rules, by demanding none of the powers can act without the security council and then always failing to approve action

yes
