The Russians tried, the Russians failed. It was Georgia’s fault to attack the capital of South-Ossetia, but it was Russia’s last great chance to show their nonexistant giant political muscles and military doctrine to keep the US where it should have been in their opinion. The only way for Russia to seek any progress, is the way of sabre rattling and starting a war, but since the mask has been taken off after 20 years of silent build up, the Russian totalitarian regime will face huge bitch slaps for any actions it will undertake to achieve victories for political interests by military force.

Russia wants another empire… however, it will have to turn to its military to do so because their is nothing attractive about it – no soft power at all. this aggression will eventually make the world will turn against it. russia is authoritarian, corrupt, & has to rely on natural resources for wealth (its an economic basket case… just wait until energy nobody likes russia, especially its neighbors. who are russia’s allies? iran, venezuela, belarus, zimbabwe – disgusting! china, like most of russia’s neighbors, is too suspicious of Russia and wants to be too much a part of the west, so it’s not a close ally of russia. prices drop). i feel bad for georgia. I’d go and fight for their sovereignty.

Richard Holbrooke can say what he likes, after he was caught lying about his dirty little deal with Radovan Karadzic. This is all the US policy in Eastern Europe, coming home to roost. We’ve been trying to subvert Russian power in an area that has always been part of Russia’s Sphere of Influence. They told us what was going to happen if we expanded NATO any more and they told us what would happen if we stole Kosovo from Serbia. They drew a line in the sand and Bush took a dump on it. Now they are going back into Georgia and we’ll see them in Cuba, as well, no doubt.

Richard Holbrooke: “If Georgia was seeking to light a fire under its allies it succeeded. I wonder what Israel will take away from this?”

Apples and oranges – The Protocols of the Elders of Georgia is not a best-seller in Arab countries. Israel’s foreign policy is and always has been sui generis. No analogy between the two countries’ handling of their allegiances would be productive.
