Russiatoday is a thinly-veiled Kremlin-controlled propaganda channel.
Russia's crimes are condemned here in Italy and throughout the civilised world. Russia is not a civilised nation, it pretends to be. It is not part of europe, although it pretends to be. It is a joke of a country, pitied throughout the world (although we do enjoy your prostitutes).
SykaShvili will be arrested and judged by military tribunal !!! Sykashvili u had no right to place neither coat of arms nor EU flag besides you You Are Criminal
Georgia attacked to Ossetia. They massacred to the people there with its surpresive attack in the night, using the opening of the olympics like shade shield . Now Rusia will be interviewing during at long time so that Georgians don't repeat it again never more....
do russia honestly think we all beleave that the soviet union are all gone there building there army in secret i say uk and us need to take control and wipe all them scum out noone will b safe unless we do
Russia is mad that they are no longer a superpower and that blaming and whining about the US, the West or the EU hasn't fixed their internal problems so they try to pick on one of the tiniest countries in the world to try to be feared/respected again. Maybe if they really want respect they should do what Japan did and renounce war and build something of value for the world. Those who cheerlead for war are idiots. This war could spread into Armenia and Ukraine if Russia keeps doing this.
As I see from ur coments, u guys have no idea what are u talking about. Tskinvali is a Gerogian city.Georgian president offered to cease the fire and Georgian troops did so. The answer from the sepoaratists was fire and Georgian side got no other choice but fire them back.I have lots of Osetian friends,I am half Osetian myself and we wnat Russian troops and separatists out of Tskinvali. So just fuck off Russians and we will take care of separatists, please =))
i just finished watching fox news and i was surprise with what i heard. the panel was saying that US was glad that Georgia wasn't part of NATO. before they urged Gerogia to join them and now when they won't help? typical american. Asking Russia to talk is not enough. i bet if it was a smaller country USA would've threatened them with military. Just like they said on CNN, USA don't want a conflict with Russia. I know there was someone they fear.
8 August 2008 -- International Red Cross urged the combatant sides to make a humanitarian corridor to evacuate the wounded and civilians from Tskhinvali. The main city hospital is reported out of functioning, and ambulances can't reach the wounded.
Georgia continues to bomb the hospital. 22 wounded remain in the building, which has only two stores left. A UN refugee angency said that thousands of refugees are leaving South Ossetia, mostly for North Ossetia.
I really hope that no EU or NATO forces go for georgias rescue. With a brief look to the books of history, they should have realised that the gamble will not pay out.
Even prior to WWI the russians had a need to protect the people with same roots and what happened then..? Now we're talking of citizsens of the russian federation...
Agreed. Any other party involved in fighting will be too much. Tskhinvali is already out of the map by shelling, more involvement will leave South Ossetia a desert.
Peace negotiations is what both sides need. EU can be a mediator.
haha your realy a americAN WAR PIG, GEORGIA, is americas slave they making truble in there land so that nato will come inn and stay there, it is at the russian border, so they can have there fucking rackets there. you idiot.
Russia has issues with all neighbouring countries which used to be in Soviet Union (occupied by Russia). They only want to be in NATO to defend themselves from Russia.
armenac92, you think that Georgia attacked ITSELF to get NATO in?!
Because of people like you I said don't believe Russian propaganda...
ok if its just wanna join nato whay the fuck is it making war with one of the powerfle cuntrys of the world, becuse its have help from another powerfule cuntry.
haha russian propoganda, ok at 00:00 georgians attacked the capitel ande killed 1400 ppl, and at 10:00 in news there are coming, in american news.
Not that georgia killed 1400 civiles but that russian tanks are going in georgia, thats propoganda.
So, you don't believe that Russian tanks are in Georgia? You believe that a country would kill its own civilians? If you don't believe news what do you believe then? Yourself only (you seem to believe Russian news)? You there in France what do you know about living next to Russia?
I know here in Estonia what lies Russia is capable of telling...
yea russian tanks are in not georgia but sorth ossetia. and georians are not killing thre own citizens the ppl in sorth ossetia are russian citizens, and they are enemys of georgians. and you say i dont know eny thing. you in estoina are racuist so dont talk.
NOO BUT GOD WILLING THEY WILL n hopefully stop us terrorist blackwater escaping they did most of the attrocities there Remember germany just b4 they gave up? brave usa totally destroyed dresden for revenge murdering 25000 german women children n old men YET the germans murdered 20 M. ruddiands didn't do this japan when japanwas about to give up they droped 2 atomic bomps for revenge n to teach them a lesson
This is a premeditated attack by a larger Russian Army. With the Olympics going and the upcoming elections in the US. Russia knew it could get away with this invasion. They still hold to there commie beliefs. Now the question is what is the world going to do about it? Oh yes, and everyone with any sense know this was about control of the oil pipelines.
Thanks for the update! This could be big time news very soon. Russia has nothing to loose by starting a war. They have a large army that would roll over Iraq easy if it wanted. The scary part is they could do it at a time when the USA can not afford to lock horns with Russia. It is a scary thought.
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.

because, no offence, but georgia is too insignificant to risk possible escalation with russia.
Imagine if nuclear Holocaust was caused by GEORGIA.
i mean, before this, i'd say that 90% of the world didnt know if georgia existed, and after words, 0% would risk armaggaedon to help them.
Georgia is pathetic and should realize that if it wants to play with fire, it better be prepared for the burn.
