On Friday the Georgian armies have begun war against Southern Osetia. They fired at peace city from machine guns, mortars, rockets, large-caliber guns, shooting thus not only on militarians, but also on peace inhabitants, the Russian peacemakers in number 100 person, could undertake nothing against 10000 armies of Georgia. The Georgian militarians finish peace inhabitants and I continue bombardment, they in an emphasis shoot houses from tanks. It is killed about 1400 peace inhabitants. All hope for the Russian peacemakers because only they can help with this situation, differently all inhabitants of republic Northern Ossetia will destroy.
im positive russia can smash back an invasion from georgia, especially since its so close. just wait and have faith. oh and russia maybe shouldnt have sided with sepratist forces there.
South Ossetia is Georgian territory, so I don’t see how you can be invading your own country. Russia meddles in South Ossetia and supplies and encourages rebels to attack Georgian forces. What is Georgia supposed to do?
Ironic, considering this is pretty much the same thing that the Chechens did to Russia in Chechnya.
Whatever. Russia is a 2nd rate power in steep decline.
Russia is rolling in dough from oil sales and is rapidly rebuilding its military. The only ones who can seriously fuck with them right now are the Chinese, but really no one can because, like the U.S., they have enough nuclear firepower to wipe out everything but the cockroaches.
Did South Ossetia not secede from Georgia a decade or so ago?
I’m not sure who to side with on this one. If S.O. seceded then the situation would be a little like Taiwan seceding from China, China invading Taiwan, and the U.S. going to Taiwan’s rescue.
The situation there seems to be a perfect recipe for war. South Ossetia is politically part of Georgia, but no UN nation actually recognises their independance. Clearly, there is a large portion of the population who wants independance.
Personally, I feel really sorry for the people stuck in the middle of this war, the real victims. The people who, just like any of us, want to carry on with their lives, raise their families, persue their carreers, studies, etc. War destroys all these dreams.
PS: it would be cool if we can manage to keeps serious political issues and personal flames out of this thread. It could actually be an informative thread.
1500 person has died from the South Ossetic side. 99 % of inhabitants of South Ossetia are citizens of Russia Federation and when Georgia began to kill them, Russia has gone to the aid to the citizens.
