"RUSSIANS DIDNT WANT GEORGIA TO BE FREE COUNTRY" - yep. you're absolutely free now. maybe even independence, mm? with the president from USA, who execute Washington's orders... with the american military instructors? with the american's military support...yep, you are really free!!! I hope that you have a bit of pride to stop increase this kind of "FREEDOM"!

The whole American led Georgian invasion of South Ossetia is part of the grand strategy of destabilizing Russia. Always the west was behind the Russian resources(Oil & Gas). Now the west clearly declining due the lack of resources and the phenomena of ' Stagnation in Innovation ', its needs other sources to survive and that great source is the abundant resources of Russia. Using the pro western media the west has always been successful in portraying russians as agressors.

Russians are just fake peacekeepers in South Ossetia. Who asked them to be peacekeepers in South Ossetia? Russia just elected by themselves to be peacekeeper and that was it. But, everybody knows Russia has partisan bias to annex South Ossetia to the Russian Federation.

@Alexei81ya Georgia chose to leave Russia. Didn't they? Don't you call that freedom?

@UseUrHead503 ahh yes the filth western news.

ofcorse only Russian news tell the truth its not like that Russia is pissed because kosovo gets independent and Georgia wants to join NATO.

bombed 3000 osetians? Russia its standard military tactic used by Russia in urban country side shell the shit out of the surrounding and move in.

@Resondin Korea, vietnam and afghanistan were all part of the communist vs. west era or cold war. this one was about who started the warcrime, it was sakashvili.. plus, western news like FOX and BBC are all reporting that russia were the aggressors? i mean wtf is with that?

[Resondin]

@UseUrHead503 to let Russia look bad you dint need USA or the west,

Russia is a shit hole its doing by it self, every one knows that they are animals.

You showed your true face long time ago in Korea in Vietnam in Afghanistan in Chechnya.

wake up you neighbors hate you all and fear wil only send theme in the willing hands of the USA and NATO.

[UseUrHead503]

sakashvili is as hypocritical as Bush is, he attacked S.O. wanting to gain control of the state and then russia answers back and now hes saying that Russia is the aggressor lol? what a dickface, who started it then? who bombed 3000 South ossetians? what a big conspiracy from an american puppet with the goal of making russia look bad..

[Alexei81ya]

You meant "to be american puppet" or "to be in good relationship with Russia like it was for many years". Look, americans just USED Georgia against Russia. They forced georgia to start this war just to test a Russian's reaction. They forced Russians and Georgians to kill each other. They are good allies isn't it? ;)

[warpedcomedy]

@Alexei81ya Better to have a pro-American president and American military support than a Russian puppet.

[Alexei81ya]

Another question. did you see how saakhashvili (i don't know how it's spelling right) chewed his tie? do you think he is normal men? do you want to execute his orders? do you think that it's normal when Georgia's president lived in USA for a long time before?

(about killed georgians) - sorry, but if you want to kill russians, please, be ready to be killed by russians! If you don't wanna kill russians - just don't do it and live in peace.
