You may not like us, and if Obama wins, -I- might not like us, but Russia is acting like a lying thug on this one, Fokker

BTW how is the situation "far worse"... Russia is going to stay put? They already were.  Russia gets offended? Good.  THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES TO THE USA FROM RUSSIA and Russia knows it, and Bush forgot it, the punkbitch.

Spam. Use the existing 2008 election thread.

So Russia lied, it will leave all sorts of troops in Georgia where ever it wants, as "peacekeepers".  Our reaction: waa.

"1) Georgia attacked Ossetia.
2) Ossetia called Russia for help.
3) Russia helped."

No, Russia promoted a terrorist war out of Ossetia, and provoked a Georgian reaction, and then tried to conquer Georgia. You know Ossetia is trying to ethnically cleanse all Georgians out of the Province? "There is nothing for them to come back to" says their top guy.  How slavic of him.

"4) Russia took a leaf from the Big Book of American Diplomacy and stomped on Georgia's."
No, it acted as Russia has since the days of the Tsars.

"5) Georgia cried, the world came running and shouted at Russia for doing what apparently is the right thing to do if you flag is made of red, white and blue."
How much US territory have we added through warfare since 1901? Ossetia is going to vote to join Russia, making this as much a war of conquest as Kuwait 1990

"6) The world orders Russia to go home.
7) Russia sulks.
8) Russia starts picking up its toys to go home."

No, Russia lies about not going into Georgia, lies about how far it will go into Georgia, and lies about leaving Georgia.

"9) America realises people are starting to see the hypocritical nature of the actions done by NATO and the US and makes the situation a million times worse in order to cause a distraction."
'A million times worse' by sending food and medicine.

"10) When this action also raises questions the Americans excuse is "They're not pulling out fast enough"
OMG we caused questions to be raised! how indelicate

"10a) America hopes nobody points at Iraq and says "You're not pulling out fast enough" in response."
Go ahead.  We failed Georgia by trying to work with the zombie corpse of international systems who are designed to deny there is any problem to consider.  We should have just killed Russians.  The only reliable principle in foriegn affairs is the American will to righteous force--and when that is gone, the 1945 system of "law" goes with it, as will any set of laws with no cops.

"Redeem Team" slapped Argentina! Payback is a bitch!
