Russia, U.S. tangle at U.N. over hostilities in Georgia.

[aviomaster]

-- USA is bunch of crazy JEWS looking for fight around the world ...

[jakascott21]

@aviomaster america is not all jewish retard, there is mostly christians and patriots but isreal, isreal is jewish

[DoubleDrink]

Yesss!!! Those days were gone! IN EUROPE! But in the Middle East it's ... a morning in America))) (c) Dayly show.

[freedafreeman]

At this time of crisis.one may thnk, that almst evrything r not as they seem to be. People r being disinformed, fed-up by information based on a grand design. These questions..Why is leading Media such as CNN, BBC, Fox news r reporting in a biased manner? Why there r many instances when infos unfavorable to the west & put Russia in good light are being cut or interupted. Why is these Intl TV, respectable as they appear is not capable of bringing balance and impartial coverage of the conflict?

[Serbpride4lif]

'The days of overthrowing leaders in europe are gone'maybe in europe but not in the world,nations like the US still believe its okay to do so in the middle east and since that is the case then Russia should take it as their right as an independent world power to take down any government anywhere in the world as it pleases.The americans dont ask for permission and neither should a grand nation as russia seek the permission to act politically and militarily.The world does not revolve around the US

[iwatchmassvideo]

Actually, you are wrong. The world does revolve around the U.S.A., Russia is a big power, but not comparible to the U.S.A., Russia has problems defending it's own country, while America is a military,economic,cultural, and industrial giant. Ever hear of McDonalds.. Burger King.. U.S. celeberties, Hollywood made movies.. that's our cultural domination. Military, don't need to go into detail. Economically, we rule the world, no doubt about it, the world goes down when we go down, get used to it.

[potz555]

I think the world will survive without McDonalds and KFC, I doubt the 1% of the people that have 90% of the wealth will think twice about the USA if it goes down the drain and quits being "profitable"

[ffgkbrrg]

I would forbid Mcdonalds in general. There meal for vagabonds. It in general can not be named a meal.

[tarasov12]

US r cowards

[theanglian]

The Russian ambassador speaks English better than America's ambassador to the United Nations.

[wildbestia]

"The Russian ambassador speaks English better than America's ambassador to the United Nations."

LMAO, true

[inbrooklyn2008]

Khalilzad: "the days of overthrowing leaders by military means IN EUROPE are over."

What about in Iraq?

[PandemicMadness]

inbrooklyn2008, that statement refered to EUROPE as i read it. Iraq is not in europe.

[dimdaman]

Russian Pigs. Georgia never attacked Russia. Russians have been provocative for months toward Georgia. Shooting down unmanned surveillance plane, crossing into Georgian airspace. Giving out passports to Georgian citizens in rebel regions they want to annex! Cutting them off from Georgia for 1`5 years now. This all started by Russia in 1990's. Don't listen to Russian disinformation! Georgia is in the Right with the west! Russian KGB is a World aggressor! They used polonium to kill Litvenienko.

[jguzman42]

Doomkrakin are you serios

do you have any idea how many inocents childs and womens are dead becuase the dirt bag President of USA lie about terroris and weapon in Iraq amoun then over 4000 brave men of he united state army??

"war crimes against humanity" you sure you want use that terminology, went this presiden and company in the name of freedom and liberty, using the good name of the american people kill and break laws agains humanity and his own country to profit.

[serbiabeograd]

That's so sorry to see Churkin like 19 century psychopath politician, I think that rusia try to copy NATO move in ex-yugoslavian conflict and I think that is mistake,nato is half of the world, unfortunately rusia can disappear becouse mongoloid putin

[thehairlives]

every time I watch the so-called news US achieves new levels of hypocrisy.

'The days of overthrowing leaders by military force IN EUROPE are long gone' haha well thank god they can go to the middle east for that

[doomkrakin]

Video evidence will be coming out of Georgia soon and I wonder if the Russian leadership would agree that if any evidence of Russian atrocities is provided that they will hold those responsible for it, or does the world have to effect warrents.?

[doomkrakin]

Russians are commiting war crimes against humanity.

That is what is fucking unacceptable muthafuckas.

[doomkrakin]

The Russian military and there leaders, should be charged with war crimes against humanity.

Intentionally targeting civilians is terrorism and considering the support they give to Iran and Syria, its seems that Russia has adopted the ways of terrorism.

Sanctions, and arresting the Russians involved in the looting, destruction of civilian targets, is a crime.

International arrest warrents should be issued and enforced through santions until they hand over those repsonsible.

[alternativenewsnow]

Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad

'this is what we want to make sure our Russian colleagues understand,that the days of overthrowing leaders by military means in Europe,those days are gone"

This brings the question up, is overthrowing governments of non Euro/"North" countries acceptable?

And it also raises another question. If it is unacceptable to overthrow leaders through "Military means", are we openly admitting that imperialism through economic strangulation is "fair game" in a modern age?

[cid5555]

I dont see a thing wrong with what Russia is doing when I look at all the other conflicts in the world. I don't agree with most of them myself but I got lots of opinions and this is a comment. But educate yourself and break this cycle.

[sijumark]

Reason#2 USA accused Russia of using extreme force in Georgia.

Ans: Why USA were quiet when Israel bombarded the whole of Lebanon including schools, hospitals killing thousands of women and children. Lebanon never attached Israel the Hamas did that. In around a month the whole country was in ruins including the capital city.

[edcum]

what a laugh, Bush threatening... he can't even beat Al Qaeda, he has the nerve to POSTURE as if he has any effect on Russia!! LOL....

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

[doomkrakin]

What a laugh Russian ruble heading to the toilet, investors pulling out and your stocks are getting hammered, also getting booted from the G8 = big money.

US flew in Georgian troops in the middle of the conflict what did russia do? nothing lol because they can they know its decimation if they did haha.

Russia will be paying for this for years to come.

[Qong]

Georgia is an independent nation and they have the right to defend their territory from Russian backed separatists.

That's the fact that most of you people are missing: The Ossetian separatists are a very small minority that have been allowed to cause massive amounts of trouble with help from Moscow.

Russia is scared of an independent and free thinking Georgia. A Georgia that should absolutely be accepted into NATO and deserves to be free of Russian oppression.

[Maximpeace]

H-U-R-R-A!!! RUSSIA IS THE WINNER!!! NOBODY CAN STOP RUSSIA!!! RUSSIA = PEACE IN Caucasus and all over the world!!!

[ndrakey]

watch?v=V_Ks6hu6ggE

The truth behind Russia and Georgia

greets from a russian living in german drusja!

rest in peace innocent ossetians georgians and russians!

[rb1763]

I'm a US citizen, but the US ambassador statement about overthrowing leaders via military means was laughable. You can do that kind of stuff, ya know, 'long as it's not in Europe...lol. The Middle East?...it's ok, it's ok.

[mafia1953]

usa has nothingc to say about this ,all what we should is look at ourselves

[Iberi1]

Dear All:

Unlike most of you, I am on both sides of the fence. Unlike most of you, I also know something of what I am talking about.

Those sympathetic to Georgia can point out the hypocrisy of Russia brutally suppressing separatism in Chechnya while fostering it in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. But others recall the parallels the Russians continually emphasized over Kosovo with the breakaway regions of the Georgian state that have enjoyed de facto independence since the early 1990s.

[Alexn1067]

I completely understand Russia's greivences with the West. The truth is Georgia is a proxy conflict between Russia and the west. It has nothing to do with peace keeping or etc..

The problem is that Both Russia and the West are still stuck in the Cold War mindset where we feel that we have to take action to fuck each other over. This is why the U.S. recognized kosovo, and this is why russia invaded georgia and stood against us with Iraq.

[Iberi1]

History Repeats: Background Information about so called South Osetia and Soviet Invasion in Georgia.

FACT: South Ossetia is part of Georgia, as every country on earth recognises. You cannot invade your own country.

The region, which is one and a half times the area of Luxembourg[34] (roughly 6% of the total territory of Georgia) broke away from Georgia in the 1991--1992 war .

[shagwhites]

Fact: Kosovo was a part of Yugoslavia as every country on earth recognizes, till the US of Asses and its european cohorts came and supported the disintegration of Yugoslavia. Power speaks. The days the West can dictate its wishes are numbered.

[Qong]

What does Kosovo and Yugoslavia have to do with Georgia and the Ossetians? You moron.

Iberi1 is trying to teach you a bit of history and you're too ignorant to accept the knowledge.

[Iberi1]

The Osetians are originally descendants of the Alans. They became Christians during the early Middle Ages, under Georgian and Byzantine influences. Under Mongol rule, they were pushed out of their homeland south in present-day Republic of Alania (north Caucasus) under Russian rule from 1767.

[Iberi1]

Another part of Osetians migrated towards and over the Caucasus mountains, to Georgia in the central region of Georgia - Shida Kartli -- Under rule of the Georgian Royal Dynasty Bagrationi. Little part of Osetians also moved to in Western Georgian Kingdom -- Imereti, Rulled by another branch of Bagrationi Dynasty.

[Iberi1]

Georgians always lived in the region even 2000 years before the Alans/Ossetian arrival there in the 14th-17th centuries as well as after newcomers settled.

[Iberi1]

In 1801, During the Annexation of the Eastern Georgian Kingdom of Kartli-Kaxeti, Georgian villages populated by Osetians minority (current so called South Osetia) automatically become part of Tiflis (Tbilisi) Gubernia under Imperial Russia, since the territory where they lived was territory of the above mentioned Georgian Kingdom with the capital city in Tbilisi.

[Iberi1]

After occupation of Georgia by Soviet Russia in 1924 thi historic Georgian province Shida Kartli (central Georgia) became known as South Ossetia and the "South Ossetian Autonomous Oblast" (i.e. district) was formed.

Although South Ossetia had its own language (Ossetian), Russian and Georgian were administrative/state languages. At present, Russian is -- the only administrative language used by the separatist government of in Tskhinvali.

[Iberi1]

In the Soviet time, under the rule of Georgia's government, it enjoyed some degree of autonomy, including to practice (Osetian) language and teach it in schools.

Generally speaking, Georgians and Ossetians have been living in peace with each other except for the episodes in 1918--1920. Both ethnicities have had a high level of interaction and a high rate of intermarriages.

[Iberi1]

FACT: The South Ossetian "separatist regime" has nothing to do with the South Ossetian people. They are gang of self-appointed thugs who support themselves by violence and extortion. They are no more representative of the Ossetians than the IRA is representative of Catholics in Northern Ireland, who repeatedly cry "Not in Our Name!"

[Iberi1]

FACT: Russia is bombing civilian targets in Georgia which are nowhere near the conflict zone and have nothing to do with "defending South Ossetians". How do I know? My wife is stranded in a village to the east of the zone, hears the bombs, sees the planes flying over. Younger son was in Batumi until he ran home because the city was bombed. Let us see how many of you who claim Russia has humanitarian motives for its actions will come and get my wife out of that village.

[Iberi1]

FACT: Georgia has the right to retake its own territory from an illegal regime and Russia has no right to either intervene or bomb Georgia. If it happened in your country, you would all change your tune.

Lots of people have died in this war and a lot more will. Wait till your relatives are involved and then submit half-baked nonsense on the internet.

[osiris33]

Great video!

[Askanio987]

Believe if USA was leading this peace enforcment they would have bomb shit of Georgia destroyed ALL infrastracture with no regards to civilian casulties.

[anotherkid091]

RUssiA vs. US... thats too much.. im loading ammunition right now.. every man for themselves

[Crisgo3d]

Oil or "protecting interests" which is the only reason why this is a concern by the US, n

[vapren]

first Russia wanted to annihilate Georgia as they said , now they want to change regime in georgia! Do they still think its USSR ? they still have CCCR mentality and will never remove it from their stupid heads!!

[KARStarla]

U.S speaks of regime changes whats that make them? lol

[txgato]

SO let me get this straight, American Forces can invade and overthrow middle eastern Governments, but Russia is not allowed to do so. This Hypocrisy is going to bite us hard.

[KARStarla]

Exactly!

[23Revan84]

Funny how Russia ambassador did not want to answer the American ambassador about them trying to change leadership, and how Russia refuse to rule out veto.

Russia is guilty for overdoing it and killing civilians

[23Revan84]

You are one screwed up person.

[Banepfc]

Russia is just proving to the world that the USA is not the only country in the world that can bully small countries and get away with it. Let's who and what can stop Russia from invading Georgia the same way the United States, without repercussions, invaded Iraq, Serbia, and a bunch of other countries in the past decades. It's funny how these hypocritical Americans are now complaining about what they have been doing for decades, terrorizing smaller countries and violating international law.

[vatossan]

the UN is a sitting duck and always was.

they dont do shit.

lets nuke the fuck out russia.

[Askanio987]

yup try and you will nuke too

[VEGETADTX]

ahhahaha russia would nuke the fuck out of ANYONE else in the world together dude ;) they have more Nukes and power than 5 USAs together..

[zantar2580]

Check out what our Ambassador says at 1:42 its not ok to go around over throwing governments. i guess he for got about Iraq already. wow what a bullshit reason to start WW3

[23Revan84]

Look further he said "in Europe", dude you need to listen.

[imrankh68]

So you are saying its ok to overthrow governments around the world as long as those governments are not in Europe. You sound like Bush.

Btw FYI Georgia is in Asia.

[maximizer23]

hahaha, yea that explains why its the most likely candidate of the three caucasus states to be admitted to the EU right? You do realize that the E in EU stands for European... would be quite difficult for a country in asia to join the EUROPEAN union dont you think?

[glendouglas2]

ahhh its aways when im eating

why dosent the UN! ask for a sefire

send UN troups to borth side

and who ever is starting the fight just kill them off! oh i forgot if got to be human!

tell if thay dont stop then! i cut the heads

and put ther bodys on pikes hmmm or ther body will be on pike only after ther dead i cut ther heads off! get my point!

[GR33NPAPERS]

you all gonna get attack by the world if your country don't get out of Georgia.

[zombieseezombiedo]

and the Cuban missile crises was bullshit btw. At that time the US had their missiles in Europe pointed at the Soviet union. USSR was just matching the action of US.

[zombieseezombiedo]

We all know the UN has no real power.
