He rode to power on a CIA/USAID/CPD-backed colored revolution (Georgia's was Rose), he invaded South Ossetia at NATO's prompting, but Mikheil Saakashvili startled when Russian tanks immediately took it back, and the Georgian president hasn't stopped screaming for western support. He's still fretting over something the Russian Prime Minister had uttered during that engagement. 8329

Human Rights Watch lied to world press about who dropped cluster bombs where?
Shame on you, Human Rights Watch! You lied didn't you? You lied to help whip up international support for the US attack on South Ossetia that their Georgian government stooges carried out. At a key moment you spread lies that Russia had dropped cluster bombs on Georgia throughout the world press and now you've been caught at it! Human Rights Watch says Georgia admits to dropping cluster bombs in S. Ossetia This news comes from the Associated Press. 4590
Will the bear ever break its pact with the Devil?
The Russian bear has made some pretty stupid political deals in recent modern times. Almost all of us know about the Stalin-Hitler Pact and the horrible price Russia paid for the stupidity of Joseph Stalin, but few of us have thought much about the stupid pact the Russians now have had with our own US Government Devil. Since the US dropped the former Soviet Union out of existence the new Russian capitalist regime has pretty much let the Devil have its own way all around the planet, but is that about to end? Maybe, and if so how would that be done? 4504
US liberal radicals silent about ‘self determination’ now that South Ossetia and Abkhazia want it
One of the most aggravating things about American (and British) liberals has been how they consistently line up with the US government shouting 'Self-Determination! Self Determination!' every time the Pentagon uses some small nationality against another government. 4432
Pedantic US Pentagon hectoring of Russia continues
The US and its allies continue to try to bully and lecture Russia about Russia's rebuttal of NATO-Pentagon's' push toward going to war with them. But surprise! This won't work. Russia says withdrawal complete The DC government thugs and buffoons can hiss and howl all they want, alongside their civilian Empire propaganda media cohorts, but Russia is fed up with US imperialism and will no longer be cajoled to just retreat worldwide. 4345
Human Rights Watch is a US State Department vehicle, not a genuine human rights organization
The broadening conflict between the US and Russia has brought to the fore the role of the Human Rights Watch in promoting US State Department and Pentagon propaganda. They do this by hiding themselves behind their name, which leads the public to think that they are an independent group of concerned world citizens merely working for human rights observance. 4292
Can Russians do worse than US soldiers?
I'm listening right now to live alarmist coverage of Russia's occupation of Georgia. Embeds are reporting to analysts about the panicked Georgians, about forced labor, and about marauding Russian soldiers committing atrocities. A cease fire has been signed, and though we don't hear any gunfire, American leaders and media hounds are blustering about the Russian disproportionate use of force. When did our DoD decide to recognize that war crime? 4260
Little Georgia stateside pro-war lobby
DENVER- A dozen or so Georgian Americans were waving flags and signs at motorists passing the state capitol building today. I asked several of them if their effort was funded by the US State Department. "Not at all, one girl answered, oblivious, we're here trying to incite Americans to join the war against Russia." Some had the stocky look of that region. They were probably simply frantic about the fate of their relatives back home. I couldn't help but see them as alumni of the recent Georgian neo "Democracy Movement," the preferred US method of conscripting client states.
‘Independence’ for Kosovo and now ‘independence’ for Abkhazia and South Ossetia?
US officials huff and puff but cannot blow the Russian house down? They already did that by making Kosovo an 'independent' country, did they not? Now it is the Russian turn to do into the US as was done unto them. 4189
US government heads toward direct military engagement against Russia
The US government is moving toward direct military confrontation against Russia as Bush has directed the US military to begin shipping 'aid' to Georgia. The Pentagon has already been ferrying Georgian troops back into Georgia from out of Iraq, where they functioned as US mercenaries there in the US occupation of that country. Because of DC's continued belligerence all over the globe and now its role in destroying South Ossetia's capital, Russia has little choice other than to stand up to the current Bush Administration and draw the line hard and fast now, and doing that can lead to a nuclear showdown quite quickly. 4183
How the US and Georgia violated the South Ossetia peace plan
The Russians have issued a peace plan for Georgia and the US to accept, and SURPRISE! It's the same peace plan that was in place before, which the US and Georgia violated by entering and attacking South Ossetia. The peace plan calls for non- aggression in South Ossetia to be monitored by peacekeeping troops. FACTBOX-Peace plan for Georgia: what is it? This peace plan is essentially the same one that the European Union has already proposed and that was already once in place. 4171
Ossetia South doesn’t want to be West
SOUTH OSSETIA? You might very well ask, where's NORTH Ossetia? The Republic of North Ossetia-Alania is in the Russian Federation. So the minority enclave of South Ossetia wants to break from Georgia? They've watched developments in the increasingly US-controlled Georgian leadership and they don't want to be pawns of the West. South Vietnam? South Korea anyone? 4164
Bush sicks Georgia onto Russia and the Democrats tag along
We are not seeing much protest against the joint Georgia-US-governments' game in South Ossetia from the American liberal community, because DP voting liberals sense that the political party they continue to follow like sheep, The Democratic Party, is tagging along behind the Neocon game plan, enabling it to continue and multiply its negative results to peace worldwide. 4162
The encirclement of US rivals is apace
"Washington policy now encompasses a series of 'democratic' or soft coup projects which would strategically cut China off from access to the vital oil and gas reserves of the Caspian including Kazakhstan. The earlier Asian Great Silk Road trade routes went through Tashkent in Uzbekistan and Almaty in Kazakhstan for geographically obvious reasons, in a region surrounded by major mountain ranges. Geopolitical control of Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan would enable control of any potential pipeline routes between China and Central Asia just as the encirclement of Russia controls pipeline and other ties between it and western Europe, China, India and the Mideast." -William Engdahl 4154
South Ossetia a land grab by US Georgia
The US is decrying Russian aggression in South Ossetia, a breakaway province of Georgia, itself a breakaway of the ex-Soviet states. Georgia is a US proxy and a NATO beachhead aimed toward Russia and the Middle East. South Ossetia is a critical part. Here's analysis from Global Research: 4152
The US spreads its aggression from the Balkans to the Caucasus region
Tskhinvali, capital of South Ossetia. The attack of the Georgian military, allied with the US and NATO, against Russian supported South Ossetia has widened the US military encirclement of Russia to another level and another region. The US Antiwar Movement has slept in the years since the ex-Soviet Union fell from the blows of the Cold War and ignored the continued US belligerence towards a now capitalist Russia. 4088
