I do what I do 5 days a week, nine to seventeen-forty-five (sixteen-thirty on Fridays). My weekend has started, and this means it's time for more pointless discussions about world politics.

Georgia won't join NATO this year.

Willingness to settle international, ethnic or external territorial disputes by peaceful means, commitment to the rule of law and human rights, and democratic control of armed forces
Ability to contribute to the organization's defence and missions
Devotion of sufficient resources to armed forces to be able to meet the commitments of membership
Security of sensitive information, and safeguards ensuring it
Compatibility of domestic legislation with NATO cooperation

Unless these rules are bent out of shape, Georgia won't pass the test. Settling ethnic disputes by peaceful means isn't something it proved to be good at.

We'll see about that.

WTF are you talking about Serb!?! Russia is occupying a foriegn countries soverign soil without their permission and without any (let me repeat that...ANY) international authorization.

Get the f**k out now. Take your whiny citizens with you if you feel such a need to protect them.

Your batsh1t crazy country calls 20 dead people "genocide" while conducting an ethnic clensing campaign. What a load of crap your country has sold you.

Your "everybody is lieing except us" rhetoric doesn't play in the rest of the world no matter how much you have bought into it.

You think your puny economy is ready to go up against the West again just because you have a few petrodollars? I am with Lancer on this one. Bring it on!

Why don't you start with having Putin bang his shoe on the lectern at the UN.

Russia wants so bad to be a playa, but they have been and will be for the forseeable future just a wanna be.

Hmmm... occupying foreign soil without the nation's permission or international cooperation? This sounds strangely familiar.

Ooopppsss!!! Someone dropped the other shoe. The President of South Ossetia announced his dreams for uniting with North Ossetia to form an autonomous district of "Alanya" within the Soviet Unio,,,,,,,,,, er, Russia.


Wasn't he supposed to keep that secret for a few years or at least until after Albania annexed Kosovo? Really, that's what Putin gets for selecting an ex-wrestler to be President of South Ossetia.

This has always been about Russian expansionism. The South Ossettians (the ones not ethnicly cleansed) voted to be annexed by Russia but it got laughed out of diplomatic circles because they didn't let ethnic Georgians vote.

If you are talking about Iraq, then you should know that we are their right now with specific UN authority. Or were you talking about something else?

I was talking about the Mexican-American war.

Okay. What international body was around then to sanction these things? I forget...

Dude, they shot at our peacekeepers. What were we supposed to do, say "we're sorry for being shot at"? No, striking back was the only option. We should've actually gone for a decapitation strike instead of fgihting the Georgian soldiers. Your country's administration would have had a hissy fit if we had gone for it, though.

Enlighten me. I know there's a small UN force in Iraq protecting its officials, but I haven't heard of any document that said "The USA can use their armed forces against the Iraq and have the support of the UN".

Maybe you should have had your "peacekeepers" stop the South ossetians from provoking the Georgians by shelling them. That's what you were supposed to be there for. Of course, everybody outside of Russia knows the truth now why you were really there.

Why should I take the time to re-point out what has been documented in the press and even discussed in this thread?
