This is like a slow-motion nightmare. Someone at the Heritage Foundation from the US Army War College seems to be trying to stir up war hysteria against Russia.

Is the global warming scare not enough to distract us from the economy and who might be responsible for the problems it is having?

I hope the American people don’t buy it this time. It will serve those dangerous clowns right if they are ignored.

It seems to me the US won the ideological debate with Russia and China with regard to economic freedom and even political freedom to an extent. But now it seems the US is bound and determined to provoke and humiliate its former enemies. It is shameful behavior and could have serious consequences, to put it mildly.

From what I’ve read about the history of Georgia, Russia, Ossetia, Bosnia, etc is this: CONTROL YOUR BORDERS! DEFEND YOUR CULTURE AND LANGUAGE! IF YOU DON’T, OTHERS WILL DO IT FOR YOU!

Through migrations and invasions these areas have changed hands on numerous occasions, leading to multiple groups claiming rights to the areas.

Oh, dear God, Tom, you don’t really mean that? I mean “fighting Russia”? What in the bloody He** for? What right have we to agress against Russia, who has not aggressed against the U. S. at all?

I absolutely dispute the notion that so-called “Russian tyranny” in 2008 is similar to Hitler’s tyranny in the 1930s. Please remember that Hitler took out people who thought they belonged in Germany (as Americans of Jewish origin feel that we belong in the U. S.)and shoved them into concentration camps. Russia is doing nothing of the kind.

Again, the U. S. has no national interest in this Russian-Georgian conflict, and should stay the he** out.

The comments by Bush about Russia invading Georgia seem to be hypocrisy; however, when considered in more detail, it is not so simple to generalize, when considering the geostrategic implications of Russia’s invasion of Georgia. Like Nazi Germany in 1939, what is next? Ukraine and Poland? What then? Germany’s tyranny is replaced by Russian tyranny. I think it would be better to fight Russia now, in a small war in Georgia, and not wait for a much larger war later in all of Eastern Europe. Keep faith with our allies.

I wonder what will happen to Georgians in these enclaves? After all, the US actively participated in the ethnic cleansing of 200,000 Serbs in Croatia (Krajina?). How about the Serbs being forced into Bosnia, also by the US? Since the US supports Kosovo going to the Albanians on the basis of self determination why not the Serb Repska of Bosnia? They make up 37 percent of the population and we should at least put it to a vote in the name of democracy, shouldn’t we? The answer to all these tiny little states was best answered by Spengler at Asia Times.

”
Forget the Kosovo Albanians, the South Ossetians, the Abkhazians, Saakashvili and the Dalai Lama. These are relics of an older world that might deserve their own theme park, but not their own state.

I couldn’t agree more. Bosnia and Kosovo are welfare states, plain and simple (although, the Bosnian Serb Reska is becoming economically viable ijn spite of the rigged game played by the US). Kosovo, whose name shall long be associated with the misery to come, is nothing but a thug state not worthy of the title “organized crime”. The Albanians traffic in women and heroin and not much else, which is all made possible by EU-UN-UN welfare. They would be begging for the Serbs back in a month if left to their own devices. Not only has the US chosen to distort order of the nation state, we have taken up the cause of world socialism to a degree that would shock both Marx and Lenin.

And the noose begins to tighten on the inconsistent. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what happens to Ossetia if the World Court rules for Kosovo independence? Serbia wants international court opinion on Kosovo" "The Serbian minister portrayed the idea as the way out of the Kosovo impasse. "I think this is the way forward that has to be supported by opponents and supporters of Kosovo's independence alike," he added. "I think we should all come together in supporting international law."

Why doesn’t your country’s army keep itself busy with driving the prophets of the “one world government” out of your borders? Now THERE is a war I will gladly be involved in.

Strobe Talbot, a Clinton minion, wrote a laughable editorial on the evil Russians having no business comparing Georgia to Kosovo. What I found surprising were the comments. They generally mocked Talbot at about 5 to 1. Buchanan may understand Washington but the American people seem all too familiar with the elitist hypocrisy of those who want us to react to the Russians.
