Should Georgia take Abkhazia back during the 2014 Winter Olympics?

who did what is kind of irrelevent anyway. if the georgians descided to start an attack they will lose hard. only thing that can prevent that is us intervention. maybe if the eu threatened to stop tradeing whit russia that would scare them of aswell. but then that would take balls which the eu have non.

oh well 4 years to go for your plan drake. maybe if you get out of afghan and iraq you would have some resources to put "peacekeeping" forces there.

As much fun as it would be to watch American troops completely pwn the Russians, Georgia isn't important enough to be worth the effort. They're on their own.

If the Russkies were menacing enough it might provide a nice justification for cutting the Afghans loose, assuming we haven't cut them loose already by that point.

Georgia was the initial aggressor against South Ossetia. Eyewitness account from a South Ossetian family: "Georgia troops attacking, Russian troops defending" "Saakashvili aggressor", etc, etc. The anchor cuts her off when he realizes she's not carrying the western propaganda narrative of 'Russian aggression', and she calls him out on it.

Georgian Diplomat Said Georgia started war in South Ossetia

Typical proxy war by the U.S./NATO using their Rose Revolution pawn, Saakashvili, who rode to victory funded by Soros NGOs.

And lol at NATO cheerleader Chatham House providing a 'fair' assessment of Georgian/Russian affairs. The paper openly states that it ignores Georgian policy and focuses solely on purported Russian motivations:

Two quite contrary narratives are in circulation. Russia claims that its operation and subsequent security measures in Georgia have been sui generis and essentially retaliatory... Critics of Moscow’s offensive argue, on the contrary, that Russia’s ostensible commitment to protect ‘Russian citizens’, a core justification of the intervention in Georgia, has principally served as a means of coercion and a device to expedite military intervention in that country for other strategic purposes.
...
Against the background of such concerns, this article explores the initial determinants, rationale, conduct and objectives of the Russian military campaign in Georgia.The intention is not to assess Georgian policy...

Little one-sided methinks. And of course unnamed "critics of Moscow" (read: western agitprop). Nice sourcing.

All you dumb****s are in agreement with ZakuHL now!

I think he's shifted to well poisoning for these last few posts.

I thought the Brits would take back Georgia during the current Olympics

[Drake Tungsten]

That doesn't make any sense. If the Brits were going to take back Georgia, they would've done it during the Atlanta games.

[Ecofarm]

Berzerker, you think it is ok to invade a country because 44 people were killed in a clash that was probably instigated by foreign agents?


Can we start bombing Iran now?


Think about it, Berzerker; if that is sufficient reason then you cannot oppose any war ever.

Yeah, when everyone expected it. They're waiting for the best moment!

I have it on good authority that US military personnel are training Georgian troops.

ACK!

[Drake Tungsten]

That doesn't mean they'll be worth a crap.

[dannubis]

Well, friendly fire incidents will go up, that much is sure.

[Drake Tungsten]

You do know that a Belgian trying to poke fun at the American military is like the least hurtful thing ever, right? Does your irrelevant little nation even have an army any more or have come to grips with the pointlessness of trying to stop the Germans a third time?

All you dumb****s are in agreement with ZakuHL now!

And you're in disagreement with eyewitnesses.
