Re: Russian troops to invade georgia
@ Pheonix
Absolutely on target....except the "Techonologically advanced" part. Im not so sure what that means......
Speaking to a Ukranian, working on a cruise liner.....we had a few beers, and were talking about Ukraine and Georgia.
He expressed.....Eastern Ukraine is extremely, ... not slightly, connected to Russia. They want Putin to keep power and Ukraine to unite w/Russia.
Western Ukraine is on the side of the EU, and wants desperatley to be out of the influence of Moscow politics and the Russian grip....that is TRYING to engulf Ukraine.
He told me this.....as a Pro-Russian, Eastern Ukraine, citizen of Keiv......that Georgia is a test. He feels Georgia is the small step. Ukraine is the actual goal.
I told him, that is a scary scenario. He told me, its a done deal. Ukraine military is dominated by pro-Russians. Its the govt. that is pro-west, Pro-EU.
He also said, Russia sees itself as the dominate of the UE, and wants no part of it.
Scary. Scary talk.
If a Ukrainian speeks like this, what do the Russians think ?
