Trumbauer pays tribute to Georgia invaded by Putin's Russia

[raduandreyi]

piece of shit russians

[bsgs98]

Hoagy Carmichael wrote this song to honor his sister named Georgia. There is no reason to use this fine song for political purposes.

[phddddd]

Now that must be the great Bix on muted coronet ... yes? One of his last recordings, no doubt. He died in 1931. Never made 30, like Jimi.

[cortezawwris]

What a ignorant false video.

[cortezawwris]

So your blaming the soviet leadership under Stalin a Georgian on Russia. If you wish to refer an invading nation i suggest you look at united states. But what would I assume uneducated person as your self would better them selfs with knowledge. May god help your confused soul. Long live independent ossetia free from genocides and oppression of Georgia.

[chekist1917]

How about a free and independent Chechnya, Ingustia, etc.?

[EKudinov]

"son of a Soviet corporal, who collaborated with nazis during WW2."

Please enlighten me more on this topic. I understand the other nonsense that you wrote but this one really puzzles me! :D

[epiphanyofreason8]

sorry but to cite the invasion of poland in 1939 is an invalid point for two reasons one the soviet union could hardly be considered russia since its ruling elite comprised so many different ethnicities and second stalin orchestrated the attack and he was georgian.

[chekist1917]

Then how come huge majorities of Russians say Stalin was a great leader to this day? How come most try to deny that the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact started WWII? You can't have it both ways, but it's classic Russian mentality to try and do so.

[alexanderwotl]

@epiphanyofreason8 Stalin repeatedly said that he was grateful to the Russians for raising him. His ethnicity does not mean anything, he was Russian and the Soviet elite was Russian too. Soviet Russia invaded 14 other countries and not vice-versa. Today's Russia is a sole heir of the Soviet Union and it continues its criminal actions.

[epiphanyofreason8]

So basicly out of a fear of russia you guys are willing to overlook georgias role in this humanitarian crisis. Ive been following this thing for two years now and its very much a two way street my friend

[jozefsterkens]

What can you expect of a former KGB man.

Guilty of "crimes against humanity" he should be kidnapped and brought before the Tribunal in The Hague.

[Askanio987]

"South Ossetia was - after the October Revolution - also incorporated into Soviet Union in 1921 as a part of Georgian SSR." Yup that is what iam telling you. So no more USSR and claims of that territory belongs to georgian have no legal basis.

[alexanderwotl]

@Askanio987 Stalin after taking away the territories of Georgia like Sochi and parts of what is today Northern Armenia, set out to give autonomies to three regions in Georgia: Acharia, Abkhazia and S. Ossetia. Hence, the problem with the last two regions today. If not for the Soviet occupation (and the Russian Empire before) there would not have been any problem whatsoever.

[Askanio987]

Ossetia always was independent kingdom, check history books

[alexanderwotl]

@Askanio987 I checked all the history books I possibly could and it says everywhere that so-called S. Ossetia or Samachablo (to be more correct) was and remains part of Georgia. They also said that the first Ossetians who settled in Georgia in the fifth century were graciously welcomed by Georgians and they actually did not settle down in Samachablo, they were all over.. So, now you check history books, ok?

[HarborGuy]

I hardly think you can compare today's Russia to Hitler's Germany. From what I reas Georgia tried to get the S.Seeta back with troops and occupied it. I know how Hitler leveled Poland with a made up lie for an excuse. This is not the same if I read and heard the news reports correctly. Lets let it go.......we both have different opinions. Peace!!

[vanness5]

Ruski Psy! What a lovely song. Like watching your house go up in flames to "My blue heaven".

[dzheger]

Every time we think that what the world wants is peace and prosperity someone proves us wrong. Thanks for the tribute.

[HarborGuy]

It was the other way round South Seetia was part of Russia and Georgia invaded to get it back.....so Russia struck back. Get the facts right please. Russia did not start this Seetia was pro Russia since the l990's.

[alexanderwotl]

@HarborGuy Here is my advice to you: before even 'defending' anyone here, learn to spell the names correctly.. it's not Seetia, but so-called South Ossetia, which is properly called Samachablo (as it has always been, for centuries). S. Ossetia always was and remains part of Georgia. It was not until the Soviet occupation of Georgia that the autonomy was granted to it, before it was just one of the regions of Georgia (that's all). Stop spreading lies.

[hartnell114]

lets hope we dont get ourselves into another war and that all is resolved soon :)

[barbcard]

Very moving. This is one of my favorite songs, and as I'm sure you know, refers to the state of Georgia in the U.S., but your point is well-taken. And the games play on ...

[slpuca]

Benito Juarez president of Mexico during part of the second half XIX century who resisted , fought and finally won the war against Napoleon III and the local conservative armies that backed Maximilian of Habsburg was supposed to have coined this phrase:

"El respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz" (Respect to the rights of others means peace)

which can be applied everywhere anytime.

¿when will we ever learn?

Best regards and pls keep posting your beautiful music.

[edgrosso]

Very touching. This is very scary. Seems like Putin will never rest until the hammer and sickle is flying on flag poles that have sent it running back to mother Russia. But...the bands will play on. Keep smiling. Thanks Gregorz. Ed
