U.S. presidential hopefuls react to Caucasus crisis

[atyg1967]

We Americans shouldn't get involved in a part of the world which frankly, we don't know much about. Most of us don't even know the history of Ossetia whatever. We have too much problems at home to deal with.

[saqartvelo777]

because they dont have a history my friend. Ossetia always been georgia in the south and in the north it was split between our brother chechens and ingush people. a ossteians origin is persian, they were slaves in persia and were moved to the caucasus, they are not even caucasian race.

[JimmySlade323]

McCain is a fanatic, don't hiding their own Anti-Russian looks, and also Nazi looks about Iran and other nations. If my darling Americans will choose him for US president, so our frail World, in danger! I also don't exclude that this FANATIC will create WWIII (World War 3)

Obama most better candidate for US President and if will be, so Americans continues its moral development as Nation into the Future.

[JimmySlade323]

George Bush is an Idiot and Saakashvili most Idiot. They both Anti-Russian, they are Russophobes, and all problems in the World since there is nazis and political corruptioners like thats, in World Policy

[machankali]

prostitute women, drunk man with atom bomb!

[machankali]

Russians will answer for all one day! this ugly shit people, you must be just fucked and nothing more

[moosth]

How could Russia be an agressor if Georgian forces FIRST attack and kill peacefull people in S Osetia??? SuckerShviklli and Bush are Liars!!!

[EchelonMonitor]

All the American networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Fox are presenting the same Bush/Cheney propoganda and Americans think they have a free press?

American "news" says big bully Russia invaded poor little Georgia, when the truth is that Georgia invaded South Ossetia which has been independent of Georgia for 15 years.

95% of the casualties in South Ossetia were civilian. Most South Ossetians are Russian.

Russia had to act to stop Georgians from murdering innocent people in South Ossetia.

[endo1ver]

The story is how the candidates reacted. McCain was stern and took a stance. Obama wants to talk about it. He still thinks that we can hug our adversaries and everything will be fine.

[EUamerican]

At least, we can engage with Russia and that tyrant, Saakashvili, the current president of Georgia. Also, the EU should recognize South Ossetia's independence from Georgia. It European nations can "recognize" Kosovo independence - then the same for South Ossetia!

[endo1ver]

I also believe that Georgia started the conflict. A realy bad decision. However I do not believe this is about a free South Ossetia, It is about an expansion of Russia.

In our history part of the US wanted to split off. We know how that went.

[EUamerican]

Yes, but now even the BBC, the Times-Online and The Australian are saying that Saakashvili started this to conflict by attacking South Ossetia to coincide with the start of the Olympics...

Saakashvili is a tyrant, not a victim, and knowing how to find the roots of this, including the past "democratic values" of this tyrant Saakashvili indicates that he is the likely troublemaker here...even his own people are admitting that!

[EUamerican]

Go Google:

Some Georgians Blame Saakashvili for Russian Raids

Guest Post by DIMITRI SIMES: "What Exactly Did Saakashvili Think Would Happen?"

Early lessons from S Ossetia conflict

"Georgia: Reckless Saakashvili took on Russian Goliath Putin"

[hellspook]

damn, russian reportes are so sexy, no joke :D

[aldeyan2]

very very true, georgians massacred south ossetians in hours, ossetian women and children hiding in churches were burned alive...

[wdcsucks1]

america get fucked!!! it wont distract the attention from your domestic problems which are pretty fucked. yankee go home!!!

[Phys1905]

That is true about the CNN poll.

I live in the US and most everyone I talk to states that Russia was correct in her actions to protect her people.

[eekdog2005]

McCain is a Neo-Con...it's obvious. He's on script with the propaganda being spewed by the lame stream media liars. I also heard McCain has ties with Georgian officials. CNN poll finds 92% feel russia's actions were justified. They removed the poll.

[DANNITYKANE100]

HA HA HA ukraine has disallowed the russian fleet from its ports - and russia have been hiring hitmen for genocide!! and they had the nerve to call the georgians out for genocide? RUSSIA IS SO FUCKED

[aldeyan2]

you think ukraine will be effective against russia?

Georgia commited war crimes against russian citizens.

i used to hate obama..but after hearing what he would do in this situation makes him seem better as a leader, go obama! mc cain is to pro war!

[beckpod1]

Russia says.."fuck you...win the election..and then we'll talk!"

McCain is no John Wayne...he is a joke..and ridiculous.He needs to stick the the LIEberman lies..the surge is working...drill..drill..drill.­.I know how to win wars!

It's embarrasing to hear him address Russia like that! Plus he reads like a 2nd grader.....

Your statements are red herrings. I am not interested in discussing Darwin or evolution with you. I am talking about atheists. You still have not provided your source. Am I to take your word for it?

[ryunkoon]

so am i to take your word then?

[Phys1905]

You have no source do you?

Scientific American, September 1999"Scientists and Religion in America"

Nature, 394(6691):313, 23 July 1998 "Leading Scientists Still Reject God"

Skeptic, vol.6 #2 1998 "Do You Believe in God?"

80% Physicist do not believe in god.

70% Biologist do not believe in god.

[ryunkoon]

In the west perhaps. Not in the rest of the world. And just because many don't believe in god doesn't mean they believe in dariniwism either. It works both ways.

[ryunkoon]

Scientific america is not credited. In fact nothing with the words america in it is considered credible. So try again.

[Phys1905]

How fitting. You provide zero sources yet attempt to dismiss a source purely on a location. Most of the world's atheist live in eastern countries not western countries.

[ryunkoon]

no china is not atheist. nor is either of the 2 koreas or japan. I know cause ive lived in all those countriesat one point and its a fact that russia along with the central asian nations are highly religious and have been so after the fall of communism. How would you know what people in the east practice anyway? You live in the US which doesn't give you any credibiliy what so ever on peoples beliefs in the east.

[Phys1905]

Once agian this is incorrect. Please take the time to look it up with any source you desire. Your agrument is like that of a 12yr uneducated boy. You have no idea who I am.

[ryunkoon]

try pravda, xinhua,and al aribiya who have all claimed that evolutionary belief is on the worldwide decline among secular nations and the developing world. You atheists are a fucking joke thinking your someohow gonna surpass theorist belief when the reality is that more and more of the world are seeing atheism for what it really is. A money making scam by the social darwinists of the west to get the rest of the world under there sphere of influence and way of thinking.

[ryunkoon]

We all know it. Its you brainwashed westerners who believe anyone who claims he has a science major is right that doesn't see it. And in typical fanatical atheist fashion you are yet another atheist who went straight to the conclusion that i am religious when i'm not.

[Phys1905]

Science doesnt need to appeal to authority as it can be tested.

[ryunkoon]

I have nothing against science if you'e been paying attention. Just scientists and these rich western darwinsts who are in bed with big business organizations who promote there bullshit and make theories they say is credible yet 9 out of 10 times they can't is what i have a problem with.

[Phys1905]

I'm certain you have a limited knowledge of science.

[ryunkoon]

your assumption of that only shows your ignorance in judging people.

[Phys1905]

You my friend are the one making assumptions. I assert facts.

[ryunkoon]

doesn't it seem fishy that with all the supposed proof they have regarding evolution they still don't have 10% proof its true? Thats because most theories which aren't immediatly proven true are 9 out of 10 times false. And to the brainwashed masses who follow darwinist teachings this doesn't seem to register into there heads.

[ryunkoon]

I view orhodoxy as more of a way of life and national identity then anything else. That of course doesn't mean i'm religious. It also doesn't mean that me and other secularists are gonna fall for the darwinistic bullshit that the west takes up the ass either.

[Phys1905]

Your statements are red herrings. I am not interested in discussing Darwin or evolution with you. I am talking about atheists. You still have not provided your source. Am I to take your word for it?

Do you also believe the Earth is Flat or that the Sun rotates the Earth?

No. Do you believe in a debunked theory that still hasn't once been proven yet?

Good for Russia is stopping Georgian violence against South Ossetia!

Russia did the right thing!

Today - we are all Russians!

[ryunkoon]

what makes you think we want to some pro eu/nwo self hating yank supporting us? The eu is ground zero for the globalist nwo to begin plans for their one world government.

[EikC]

They talk about how it's an opportunity to win votes and boost foreign policy credentials, and totally ignore the elephant in the room - That Russia taking advantage of the situation as we speak and has done so since it happened. Can you say slant? Selective omission perhaps?

[carlcs2]

Thank You RT for your brave coverage of this conflict. I am an American who supports Russia in the effort to save her citizens from outright genocide. The US news networks would never have been and are not anywhere near as honest with us in their reporting.

Over the last several days I have seen a 1000 times more coverage from all angles than I have seen in YEARS of bad reporting on our illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Keep up the excellent work and a lot of people over here depend on you.

[MuslimApostate]

And you obviously are a typical ignorant american if you think pravda or other russian news programs are any different. Wake up there is no such thing as fair and balanced news.

We are not talking about Iraq and Iraq war doesn't have anything to do with immoral Russian actions in the Georgian soil. Your problem is that you only watch and read only your own propaganda.

[wnxsilence]

John McCaine is a corrupt bastard, who is surrounded by Georgian lobbyists.

Also fuck you Nailfax, you are retarded Georgian moron. You are just angry that you petty and pathetic Georgians, where kicked out of South Osseti and are now begging Russia for peace Ha ha Ha! Pathetic Georgians, you lose!

Get your filth hands out of the world and stay in your borders!

It's not your business! Take your army out of other countries before accusing any one of breaching a territorial integrity of georgia!!

[Alienoid1]

How could you get that double standard's crap?

It is dishonorable for anybody to support Georgia in the genocide!

US advisors and military expert has finished a training just month ago. There are more than 500 US military advisors and consultants in Georgia... They need Georgia in NATO before starting ending Bush's rule. Georgia must urgently resolve their conflicts before it. So they decide to eliminate all "separatists" by one-two day war. It should be "Blitzkreeg".

[Jewishfan]

Go McCain, we are with you!

[ktownkilla2k7]

Jesus christ america stop war profiting

Saakashvili is a fuckin war criminal its so easy to see.

he's doing basically the same thing saddam hussain did and who the fuck braught him to " justice " ? USA did so why the fuck are they helping Georgia when Saakashvili is Hussains ex gay lover / war criminal scheming butt buddy

russia's intervention is justified. there are russian citizens in those states that wanted to become independent. they where threatened by georgia's army.

would the U.S. not do the same thing if they had citizens that needed protection in another country? i'm inclined to think they would. it would also be the right thing to do.

[rickker20]

Germany did the same thing in 1938 and we all know what happen then.

[mrberkut]

Yea, you tell that to 2000+ Ossetians killed. Nothing like a bit of a Georgian missile/artillery fire on civilian buildings/hospitals to help you sleep.

[tendrebarbare]

Do I have something against peacefull islam? In Poland there are small groups of Polish Tartars always faithful to Poland and western values. I am an atheist, I don't need god to live, be fair and not harm someone else. Some need but some also kill in his name.

[hamisharn]

true, whats the point of religion when god hasnt even been proven yet? religion may have had its place in the ancient times when science was in its early stages, but now there is no need for it.

[hamisharn]

the east has been bashing**

[tendrebarbare]

True axe of evil is Russia-beligirent islam-China. If every democratic country, from US and Canada through Europe till Australia will stand together, western values, better, safer, liberal, emphatic world will win in this war against evil, terror and autocraitc regimes. FUCK YOU SVOLOCH!

[mrberkut]

Sorry, we don't want you in the west. Just do what we want you to and we'll tolerate your stupidity. Nothing like twisting minds of slavics to hate each other, even though they speak nearly identical language.

[BaPi84]

WTF The EU Flag in background??? Georgia is not in the EU!!!

[tendrebarbare]

It's a Council of Europe flag too. But it express aspirations of nation who deserve safety and progress more than you, drugged with russian gas.

[mrberkut]

BaPi84: Actually in Medvedev/Sarkozy conference somebody asked a question about it and Sarkozy stated that Georgia isn't part of EU. He also stated that they shouldn't display it like they have because it undermines EU's integrity. Looks like Saakashvili's little plan backfired on him.

[Jaskono]

Allahurussiya! I can tell you the arabs are on your side. Dont listen to the foolish westernpowers, they've never done any good.

[hamisharn]

neither has eastern,especially eastern, west makes some effort to be fair.

[Jaskono]

You fool, EVERYTHING comes from the east. Human rights, mathematics, the alphabet, the numbers, analsex, Islam, christianity, judaism, buddhism, hinduism, paper, clothes etc etc. But maybe I misunderstood what you were implying?

[hamisharn]

islam?judaisn?christianity? their not good, especially islam, nothing to be proud about that. yes human rights originated in the east but its not like the east ever followed through with it. im just saying that living in a modern democratic western country is by far much more safer,ethical and fair than livin in a modern eastern country.not everything comes from the east, maybe in ancient times but now they contribute fuck all.i mean your using the INTERNET as your telling me this.

[Jaskono]

Islam is the best. I am muslim, and I am very proud of it.

If I could tell you this face-to-face I would. But well, we wouldnt be typing this if we in the east hadnt figured out that we needed letters. Right?

[hamisharn]

there has always been letters from around the world, it did begin in egypt but we dont use eastern alphabet do we? we use alphaet decending from the greek. but thats not the point, because as i already mentioned that they did do alot in the ancient world but dont do fuckall in the modern world.

[hamisharn]

islam is the best? your prophet was a cave dwelling pedophile that had his sick way with a 9 year old girl, he also butchered thousands for not converting to his religion. islam has done nothing for the modern world except demonstrate how people can act soo backward and barbaric in a fully connected digital age.

[Jaskono]

Always the pedophile-thing. Dont you have any other arguments?

1400 years ago there were other values. He did not have sex with Aisha when she was 9, she was older when they engaged in sexual intercourse.

Go back to school you fool, and read about the islamic golden age. Dont write here until you have.

[hamisharn]

oh sorry not when she was 9 but when she was 12. yeah different values in the east, besides its claimed by muslims that he was the perfect man and all his actions were perfect, so having sex with a young girl was perfect wasnt it? oh and i did also bring up another argument about his terror campaign in medina."I have been made victorious with terror". Bukhari: 4.52. 220

[hamisharn]

about how he butchered enslaved and raped thousands under his power.

[Jaskono]

I need sources. You're just talking without any proof. Were you there when he "raped these thousands" of people?

Even if his legion did this, it is not nothing to what Israeil and America has done. 5 000 000 iraqi children, anyone?

[hamisharn]

you just back peddalled out of the pedophilic thing, whats your response to that? about the perfect man living the perfect life molestering little girls.

[Jaskono]

Until you have proof that the prophet Mohammad did engage sexual intercourse with Aisha when she was nine, I beg you to stop calling him a pedophile.

[DANNITYKANE100]

shutup he was a dirty molesting paedophile he was no prophet and he was just used as a tool as his regions answer to Jesus

[Roman61Rus]

SAAKASHVILI IS WAR CRIMINAL!

Georgia start this problem and Russia gonna too far that why all around world blame Russia

[bigwave093]

support putin...

that movie is complete bullshit, i dont think the the leaders of the world want to come together so they can have 1 supreme leader for the whole world. im pretty sure the u.s and russia or even china would not want to be ruled by the same goverment.

[grahamkeithtodd]

if McCain gets "elected" then it's back to the cold war! the americans seem to think that if they get attacked it's ok to start a war,but if the russians get attacked they have to suck it up? a tad presumtious of them!

[hamisharn]

what do you mean? has been bashing the u.s since 9-11 excessivly. now that russia is getting some flak for once, its acting like its a media victim. so yes suck it up u.s has had to for a while now even though those fucked up eastern countries are much worse.

[grahamkeithtodd]

what do i mean hamisharn? simple! after 9/11 the us started to gear up for a war(trouble was they had no clearly definded foe to fight!) so they attacked the wrong people(iraq) the russians WHERE attacked by the Georgians!remember the most evil bugger that ever inflicted harm on russia was a Georgian!(STALIN)

[hamisharn]

well u.s was attacked directly from radical islamic terrorists,2 iconic monument towers and 2000 civilians. u.s  went to war to fight taliban and other radical groups as they are still fighting today.

[Manolis090]

Russia still need steps to take to reach true Democracy. Truth said. Of course, this doesn't give American presidents to say anything stupid farted from their... hm,hm. What they do is trying to spread fear on US citizens the same they did on 9/11 to promote their imperialistic policies. Old tactics already known.

McCain is a veteran NWO puppet, but Obama can still be salvaged.

[ryunkoon]

LOL you dumbass! Obama is saying now if he were president he would send the US air force in to support the georgian terrorists!

[Kflash3782]

Bush is using his armada from operation Brimstone and several other naval carrier groups that are presently enroute to the region to implement this new NWO strategy. The EU is including small naval component elements to join up. McCain is in play with the strategy. Barack hasn't been completely indoctrinated with this strategy, because Israel is unsure about including him in that plan. The US is going to control the sea and regional air to control Iran and Georgia & others

[dudlara]

do u realy know how far is novi sad bridges is from kosovo

[rasheedux]

Is it 'protection' when you bomb targets that have nothing to do with conflict itself? Like roads, civic buildings, bridges and so on deeper in Georgia and far away from Ossetia. Is it 'protection' when big aggressive country tells to the smaller one that it should change it's democratically elected president? Fuck no. It's destruction, aggression, war and invading territory of the sovereign nation.

[dudlara]

do u realy know how fare is novi sad bridges from kosovo

cool ... you change the countries and it still makes sense :D

"...USA should imediately and unconditionally cease its military operations and withdraw all forces from souvereign [iraq,afghan] territory..."

Georgians and their US-instructors have killed on 08.08 just about two thousands Ossetians. There remain still about 70000 Ossetians, which are now protected by Russian army and there are still Abkhazians in Abkhazia. Please, help Georgia to clear South Ossetia from Ossetians and Abkhazia from Abkasians and to join this territories to democratic Georgia!

[Phys1905]

You are correct that more than 70% of the world population is deluding itself. There are more intellectually lazy people in the world than not. You are not correct when you say scientists are joining religion. Please provide your source that suggest otherwise. I am a Physicist and personal know many scientist. I do not know one religious scientist.

[ryunkoon]

no you are not correct. Evolution has already ben proven wrong in most of the non western world both secular and religious. The major reason it has not been attacked more in the western world is cause the social darwinists are in bed with the big business capitalists who fire any scientist willing to speak out against darwinist beliefs.

[ryunkoon]

The only thing people are taught about darwin outside te west was that he was a racist bigot who's manifest destiny articles would have put anything in hitlers mein kempf to shame and was the inspiration for 3 of asia's most brutal dictators Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot.
