[gazakind]

hes not in europe, hes not in the european union

is he hoping for support, just because he has a flag of the eu in his back?

quite naive, isnt it?

well... russia just supported just the russian people in south ossetia

80-90% if southosetian citizents are russians

i think every country would do the same if they were on the place of russia

russians help thair russian people whoever and whereever they are

and thats nice

[relly1998]

Russians Arent Shit Bunch Of Rapest,Murderers,And Racists,They Think That Just Cause You Have A Somewhat Large Army Doesnt Mean Your Strong,Look At What Happend In The Cold War,Afghanistan.

[haykier11]

Why did they Invade

[SmrtFasizmu1988]

because the georgians shelled without provocation the capital of south ossetia...

[amurtola]

What about Shenvali where is Georgial killed 1500 peoples few days before this? Propoganda works.Yeah yeah Russian are occupants and killers. What ever...

[juokis]

"My friend died in Chechnya".. wtf he was doing in there? Fighting in another ocupating war? and im sorry.. i dont think that whole nation is responsible for war crimes.. but whole nation should yell for it.. and say sorry, but not proud of it

[jonh332]

i think that the russians did this to caught the USA attention

[VasiliyKislov]

What for? What`s the reason?

We don`t need US money or support.

Probably U mean that Russia would like to warn USA?

I can tell U as I live here, nobody need any war here. We live in peace, just leave us alone. We have a lot of problems with our government becides other countries.

[juokis]

in peace u said.. and how about all those internet videos where russians are killing kaukasians? just for nothing.. for being from there.. savages..

[VasiliyKislov]

Show me some of this videos?

I can show U a lot of videos, where kaukasians kills a lot of russians... My friend died in Chechnya. He did not want to kill anyone. And behore he died in hospital, he calld his parents. Russian base was attacked. He was deadly wounded. He did not make any shot.

And please, don`t tell Russians-killers about everyone, who live here. Some assholes in army maybe. But I don`t know any of my friends, who wants to fight with anyone.

[VasiliyKislov]

Lies.... First time all world thought that Russians were agressors. But now thy know, that Georgia was real agressor against their people...

As for me, I think Georgia did this. Russia do not need this conflict...

[juokis]

world knows...? u mean russia by that, right? cuz world still think that russia invades another smaller country.. as they always do,

[VasiliyKislov]

No, the World i mean - THE WORLD.

Tell me, why do we need to invade Georgia? Do they have something interesting? Minerals, technology? They have nothing. So why Russia should invade Georgia? Please, think about it.

[juokis]

why russia invades chechenia? do they have anything? there's no reaon.. russia is a cruel nation.. thats the main reason.. they want to make war and mess.. it is in theyr blood.. they hate all small nations who try to resist russian propoganda

[AussieJTFer]

Fuck the Russians, a bunch of war criminals and murderers of women and children. The free world stands with Georgia.

[Abanamat85]

You're just so gullible...

Whatever, keep thinking "today we're all Georgians".

[Abanamat85]

Also you're a racist. Shame on you.

[chasy2007]

В горах ветер и сквозняк и иногда крышу продувает! :)

[aleclitvinov]

Military bases were the targets. It's not a war crime to bomb them. Civilians must have suffered from stray bombs.

Compare to this:

[giltedged]

Georgians are a lovely people but Abkhazia and Osettia belong to the Abkhaz and Osetts. The Americans and British should be kept out as they only bring rubbishy building,billboards and an irrelevant culture. Tibilisi is too beautiful to let british builders destroy it. Russia is blessed in having a leader such as Putin. The Americans had better use their efforts to try and save their banks not meddle about in Europe. The difference between the Russian action and the American in Iraq is huge.

[Rationellskeptiker]

This war has only served the Putin-gang of Kremlin.

All neighbouring countries view Russia as an imperialistic aggressor, again.

The view that russians are uncivilized barbarians is propagating throughout Europe.

Thank your Putin, his thugs and his Politburo for that!

BTW as proven in the unfolding of this conflict, all nations should review any deal and document signed with Putin-Russia and deem them as worthless as his leadership.

Warmongering czar Putin!

[gurumagoo]

The Russians are nothing but barbarous bloody savages. They will never change. This is like Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan all over again. The reason that the Russians moved on Georgia is simply that they knew they could get away with it. If the US wasn't so heavily committed overseas they would never have dared such a thing. The Russians look tough fighting tiny countries with outdated equipment. A Western foe would crush the outdated Russian army. A regular bloodbath. Russian blood.

[aleclitvinov]

Come here. Please...

[cod26]

I'm getting fed up with the Russian government, in my opinion they need new leadership, it seems there current government thinks it can do what it wants when it wants. And im not just talking about this Georgia situation, Russia has been sending nuclear aircraft over British soil, England then has to send RAF jets to escort them back, and Russia now has the cheek to argue about the US's new nuclear defense system in Poland, Russia sed tht Poland has now made its self liable to attack.

[dandaman2206]

Maybe you should watch other countries media rather than the U.S media that is ALL propaganda. In the video the guy wants martial law(Fascism) and you support him. THERE IS VIDEOS of georgians attacking S. Ossetian citizens and reporters its a fact in every country except the U.S. /watch?v=H8XI2Chc6uQ&feature=r­elated an American girl that WAS THERE when it happened tells the truth about what really happened.

[cod26]

I agree that propaganda is being used in the Western news, but we cannot be niave, Russia is using similar propaganda. Georgian forces may have been heavy handed in S. Ossetia (which is part of Georgian territory) however this does not mean that Russia should have used this as an excuse to go to war. P.S. im English, not American and watching English media. I'm not trying to take sides, all i would like to see is a peaceful resolution to the issues in that area of the world.

[dandaman2206]

Same here. Most think I'm siding with the Russians the war is wrong but Georgia started it.

[cod26]

Thats it people misunderstand what im saying, i just want peace for Georgia and S.Ossetia. And peace doesn't come with the use of tanks.

[dandaman2206]

Agree tottally but im about 90% sure that Georgia attacked Russia.

[cod26]

they didnt attack Russia itself, they killed Russian rebels living in S.Ossetia. Russian has clearly over reacted and gone in guns blazing.

[dandaman2206]

True but S.Ossetian civilians were attacked by Georgian troops watch?v=ONICYAHcTcc

Most georgian supporters say the Little girl is a KGB agent. Which is stupid because I dont think the Russian goverment hires children. Especially American ones.

[WSWombat]

Clearly innocent people and non military targets hit. Unless the Georgian army is made up of alot of old ladies and their barracks are disguised as apartment buildings.

Russian imperialist adventurism using a Nazi excuse to invade their neighbors. Let's see how fast these "peace keepers" withdraw from the sovereign country of Georgia they have invaded.

[gurumagoo]

There was no damn massacre of Ossetians by Georgian troops. Nearly all of the civilians were evacuated before Georgian soldiers reached the towns and cities. Inside the cities they were battling Russians and Ossetian guerilla fighters. The conflict began when the Ossetian separatist began shelling Georgian towns and troops. In the insueing Russian invasion the Russians dropped most of their ordinance on civilian and economic targets and not Georgian soldiers.

[gurumagoo]

The Russians have subverted the governments of the Baltic states through a near stanglehold on electricity and natural gas (GAZPROM) and have used murder and intimidation to hijack the governments of other neighbors such as Ukraine and Belorus. The Soviet Union still exists, it has merely changed its name and alterned its appearance a bit. They still point ICBM's at the US and Western Europe, and they still terrorize anyone who has the courage to oppose them. To Hell with Russia.

[gurumagoo]

The Russian goals are obvious. Georgia is an outspoken critic of Russia and they are actively seeking intrance into NATO with Russia fiercelly opposes. Their goals are three fold. 1)Gain complete control of Abkazia and Ossetia which are rich in resources 2)Gain control of the West controlled oil pipeline 3)Depose the pro-West government and install one that will obey Moscow. They are attempting to rebuild the Soviet Empire. They have been doing this for years now.

[gurumagoo]

The Russians are bastards. They have been planning this for quite some time. None of this was an accident. Isn't it strange that the commencement of this conflict coincides with the opening of the Olympics? That was deliberate. They had hoped that the opening of the games would have distracted world leaders and opinion from turning against them. To a great degree this was successful as it seems the games make better news than Russian agression.

[jletts2]

so it didnt have anything to do with georgian soldiers massacreing civilians in south ossetia? Although russia's response is excessive.

[pa226p]

The faggot Russians and CHICOM (China) new exactly what they were doing. The Russians are nothing but a bunch of faggs! I also get sick of hearing unrealistic peace talk by folks who say "lets have open dialog." Bull crap! We will see WWIII; it's just a matter of time.... When we do go to war we need to do it right this time; we need to wipe China, Russia and the Arabs off of the map along with anyone else who is anti American.

[jletts2]

that was a retarded statement. WW3 isnt going to happen over georgia if it was the west would already be committing troops there now. Remember a year or so ago when israel invaded lebanon everyone in news kept going on with talks of WW3 but guess what they talked it out and the fighting calmed

[shaji20]

What the hell is happening to the world. Europe is unwilling to intervene because of the Oil Russia Provides, when Georgia is under the Russian boot, Europe will have a much harder time getting oil. The US will never intervene because of how pussy like our government has become. I'm just afraid of that China may get revved up by this action and invade Taiwan. World War 3 is almost upon us. The US dependence on foreign oil will be our downfall.

[lon9i9]

Both sides are to blame. The innocent ppl are the ones that have paid the highest.

[thracusspartacus]

fucken idiot Russian !! Russia sucks!!!Putin you are a fucking blowjob!

[chousiself]

The President of Georgia will be recognized as a war criminal..Russia obviously took advance of his insane orders and the real victim will be the innocent people..

[SuperMegaDeathChrist]

Georgia did technically start it, but Russia had no need to go this far in the invasion.

[StopThisWar2008]

I think US gave Georgia "Licence to Kill" anybody (of course for democracy).

Who said that georgians are untouchable?

[Alexn1067]

Hey, cast aside the bullshit and lets debate on terms that deal with reality. The fact is, this was not a russian response to a crisis. this was russia lashing out at the west and Georgia is simply a pawn in a big game.

Now we can discuss things and come to a productive conclusion.

[StopThisWar2008]

Alexn1067, say me what for was murdered 2000 osetians? Why was killed russian peacekeepers? If South Osetia (SO) is Georgian territory so why it bombs it? And Why nobody did not see russian army in Georgia (Gori)? Why US agree that Kosovo is independence country, but SO - not? Of course Georgia is a pawn, but it is US's pawn in a game against Russia.

Sorry for my bad english.

[Alexn1067]

As far as the numbers go, we can't comment on that. The media on both sides will exaggerate (i.e. hurricane katrina they said 10,000 ppl died, when in fact it was less then 400)

SO is Georgian territory, and they bombed it because they are fighting seperatists in that region. Just like the soviets in ww2, the fact that it was your turf didn't stop you from shelling it to kill germans.

Before you make assumptions, understand that I don't completely trust the georgian government either.

[ryrad1]

Georgia started it. Agreed 100% with vhernandez 48.

[Rainhawk50]

Both countries seem pretty corrupt

[annlomidze]

this is all insane, the russians are barbaric! how can they do this? this is the 21st century! they almost hit a church, a church!!! they are evil, they bombed without reason, they hate the politics, well its not their say, they have no right to just go in georgia and kill like wild men! georgia is independent they won that and yet russia treats them like dirt. the leaders of this crisis can go straight to hell!! they had this planned all along and for what?! they are distroying a nation!!

[AVK1988]

This is bullshit! I dont see any direct hit in the buldings, russia bombs the 3 military bases in Gori, of course the bases are very close to this buildings and the bombs have a BIG destructive radius. The same happen in Iraq then US precision bombs strike one building, but destroy all other around too.

Anyway, russians have air supermacy and thats means that they win this "war"

[Woodykrsk]

Georgia has made a military crime, they attacked city at the night, fire was open on the peace inhabitants! More than 2000 men were lost. They shoot on the refugees not giving to leave a zone of the conflict, kill the women, children and old men! That that you see on a video it is city Цхинвали and it is consequences of attack Georgian artillery! Not be so stupid to trust your false MASS-MEDIAS! P.S. sorry for my english

[Alexn1067]

well I don't believe russians are evil or anything like that, but it definently appears that russia is butting in on georgian affiars and taking advantage of a bad situation. Now I understand that the media is biased and the same fuckers who chastise russia are the same who chastise the U.S.

So just don't give us shit about iraq, becuase you russians tend to act pre-emptively as well.

[JJohnnyv]

russia is evil.

[evansville70]

Does not Russia need U.N. approval before they invaded Georgia? All I have heard these last several years how much America sucks and that the Iraqi war was illegal because America did not get U.N. approval. Well I guess your leader Putnin is a war crimminal and the Russian invasion is a illegal war. Maybe now you will give the United States some slack for Iraq.

[felliscity]

ronjiort- and does it matter now was it 250 kg or 500 kg bombs? bouth have the same name: BOMB!

[zosim]

About burning civilian houses in Gori. The Georgian military arsenals was hited by aircrafts it got fire and some amunition from there damaged neibors

[ah75902]

Got Bless Georgia

[TuckyTulip]

Where is Daxure??

[TheSolidGloryisJesus]

... pitfalls, contrary to your law;

Help me! For men persecute without cause;

They almost wiped me from the earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts. Preserve my life according to your love;

The wicked are waiting to destroy, but I will ponder your statutes;

I have suffered much, preserve my life;

Away from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commands of my God!

Sustain according to your promise, that we may live; do not let hopes be dashed...redeem us from the oppression of men.

[vhernandez48]

I agree on your sincere concern and sympathy for the innocent. But throwing chapter and verse to them is inane. European Union, US and UN should sit these leaders down and have them stop the madness. That is much more than your religion can provide.

[SosoMK]

Russia is the Evil Empire! How could they kill so many people? They are targeting civilians.

Dude, they are country people who have nothing to do with politics.

Georgia shall never forget this!!!

[vhernandez48]

Fact: Women and Children were killed in S. Ossetia.

Fact: S. Ossetia is populated by Russian people and Georgian rebels.

Fact: Georgian Troops attacked S. Ossetia, maybe to attack Georgian rebels but they killed and maimed thousands of innocents.

Fact: Russia responded with every right. They had to go into Georgian territory and eliminate military targets and all airports.

Saakashvili mistakenly tried to be like Milošević of Serbia and Georgia got bitchslapped.

[Alexn1067]

all this talk about who is right or who fired first is really all bullshit. This is just a move by russia to gain power and hijack the world. They want to control the flow of oil into w. europe. Rusia has always had a history of pulling stunts like this. It is in the Russian physche to pull moves like this that are reckless and un-predictable and insulting. God be with the russian people, but may god damn putin and menvedev to hell.

[vhernandez48]

So what you are saying is "fuck the facts, they just confuse me because my mind is made up" You are consumed by John Hagee bullshit and have no respect for life.

[2268681]

Georgia attacked South Ossetia before Russia intervened. Why do they hate Ossetia? Ossetian life is just a life.

[MrGibert0]

@vhernandez48 Goergia wants to join the EU - i'd like to see them Russia invade then, the EU can raise 200 million troops without breaking a sweat.

[MokomaSusi]

@MrGibert0

"EU can raise 200 million troops without breaking a sweat."

Simply not true.

[MrGibert0]

@MokomaSusi In total war as in WW2, the EU could raise a MASIVE army. Germany alone had nearlly 10 million.

[TheSolidGloryisJesus]

Psalm119: Though rulers sit together and slander your servant will meditate on your decrees;

I am laid low in the dust, preserve my life; Take away the disgrace I dread;

The arrogant mock without restraint;

Indignation grips me because of the wicked who have forsaken your law;

Though the wicked bind with ropes, I will not forget your law;

Though the arrogant smear with lies, I keep your precepts;

Their hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law;

The arrogant dig pitfalls,

[TheSolidGloryisJesus]

Ya know what's wierd about nations and wars? If civilians of different ethnic backgrounds and nationalities can live next to each other, brushing past each other in the shops and marketplaces and schools and streets - maybe not grinning at each other ear-to-ear, but certainly not assaulting one another - then, how is it their leaders cannot?

[LOJANOS]

Georgian president needs to shut his mouth. Russia is the Big dog and Georgia is it's bitch. Nothing worse than one of your bitches gettin out of line. Time for Georgia to get pimp slapped!

[Beaumain]

Analysts said Saakashvili's gamble in launching military action against the rebels could trigger a David-and-Goliath war between his country and the its powerful neighbour Russia, and it was far from certain that the West would come to his rescue."He has had plenty of warnings from the West that it won't pull any chestnuts out of the fire for him so I don't think he can count on the cavalry riding in," said Fraser Cameron of the EU-Russia centre in Brussels.

[Beaumain]

James Nixey, an analyst at the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London, said Saakashvili had worried Western capitals. That was shown when he used force last year to quash anti-government protesters and again now in the conflict in South Ossetia, he said.

[Beaumain]

REUTERS: GEORGIA TAKES GAMBLE WITH MOVE ON REBELS

LONDON, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Georgia's bid to re-take its rebel region of South Ossetia by force is a gamble by its leader that he can still count on Western support as he tries to thwart Russian efforts to regain influence over the ex-Soviet republic. Long-standing tensions over South Ossetia exploded on Friday when Georgia tried to assert control over the region with tanks and rockets, and Russia sent forces to repel the assault.

[ripcompo]

Bombing civilians. Shame on you russia.

[SosoMK]

that is what the bullies do. they only attack the weak.

[Digitalphone33r]

yh the bastards, dnt worry the americans ill be in soon therell and the british ill liberate your cool country

[StopThisWar2008]

You are idiot... Ok, let's start WORLD WAR III because of Georgia.

[KGBer]

Idiot, Russia protect our citizen.

[ripcompo]

They are georgan you dumbass. Russia dropa bombs on innocent peoples houses. Who is the idiot?

[StopThisWar2008]

Georgia drop bombs on their citizens??? I don't understand what for. Why Georgia murdered 2000 osetians? Isn't it genocide?

[Alexn1067]

You asked why we support Kosovo. Before I answer, understand that I was against that. I think we had no business recognizing them.

We did in fact recognize kosovo because the west and russia is still set in the cold war mindset where we feel that we have to take action to fuck each other over.

Georgia is russia's way of saying "fuck you west", so yes it is a pawn to your side as well.

I prey that the u.s. and russia get out of the past and work together for the future.

much respect.

[StopThisWar2008]

Alexn1067, i think for the first time you must elect new president from the democratic party(group). I think they are more appropriate(good). I found new video in youtube, find it: "Fox News: 12 Year Old Girl Tells the Truth about Georgia".

Policy is dirty game, but i want to say you one thing: Russia's politics not so skilled, we are wasn't ready for this war and informational war too.

I'll prey too. Come to Moscow - third(and last) Rome.

[Alexn1067]

To be honest with you, the democrats wouldn't be any better. If anything they would be worse because they always act like prostitutes to western Europe. Western Europe has always disliked both the U.S. and Russia.

I was listening to Gorbachev on CNN, and that is a good man of reason. Much like him, I believe we are headed towards another cold war, but its not to late to stop it.

[Alexn1067]

From the looks of it, niether the russian or the american people want another cold war. Its the stupid politicians trying to forge their names in history.

On Russia's part, you guys have to stop offensive action in Georgia.

On America's part, we have to stop trying to play hardball and take action to break up the divisions between our countries. All this talk about punishing Russia for Georgia is really stupid and would only make things worse. and for what?

god willing, we'll get past this.

[aleclitvinov]

People never want new wars.

Authorities want them.

No offensive action in Georgia now - ask the civilians.

[bgtop9962]

why is 1:18 in Russian?

[SosoMK]

might be an old sign

[bgtop9962]

the soldier also speaks in Russian

[bgtop9962]

he says - Pervii ogon otkrivali - they were the first to open fire.

[SosoMK]

probably bc the foreign journalist didn't know georgian :)
