Ivan Canas: Bravo Putin!! Spot on!! US may have staged Georgian conflict - Putin - 1-2

In an interview with CNN Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has said the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict may have been staged to secure a victory for one of the presidential candidates in the U.S. He says preliminary reports show that U.S. citizens may have been present in the combat zone.

"We have serious reasons to believe that American citizens were right at the heart of the military action. This would have implications for American domestic policy. If this is confirmed, we will have grounds to suspect that somebody in the U.S. has created this conflict to aggravate the situation and create a competitive advantage for one of the presidential candidates".

Russia's Prime Minister also commented on the media coverage of the recent events.

"As far as the perception of these events by the general public goes, it depends not only on politicians, but also on how artful they are in controlling the mass media. And our American colleagues do this much better than we do and there's a lot we can learn from them".

Putin stressed that Russia did not attack and cannot be portrayed as an aggressor.

"We didn't attack anyone, we were attacked and therefore we need guarantees that we won't be attacked again, and that our citizens won't be killed. They are trying to present us as aggressors".

The Prime Minister has given a detailed chronology of the events between August 7 and 10.

"On 7 August, at 14:42, the Georgian peacekeepers left the headquarters of the peacekeeping forces under the pretext that they'd received orders from their commanders to leave their posts, and they never returned.

One hour later, heavy artillery shelling began.

At 22:35 a massive bombardment of Tsklhinval started. At 22:50 the transfer of Georgian ground troops started to the combat area. At the same time Georgian field hospitals were set up.

And at 23:30 the Brigadeer General commanding the Georgian peacekeeping forces announced that Georgia has declared a war against South Ossetia. They announced this publicly, looking straight into the TV cameras.

At that point we tried to contact the Georgian leadership, but everyone refused to talk to us.

At 12:45 AM on the 8th of August the Georgian commander repeated his statement. So who attacked whom?"

The former Russian president reiterated that the country has 'no intention of attacking anyone, or of fighting a war with anyone'.

"For eight years while I was President I often heard one and the same question -- what place does Russia think it should occupy in the world? We are a peace-loving state and want to co-operate with all our neighbours and other states. But if someone thinks they can just come in and kill us, and that our place is in the cemetery, these people should think of the consequences of such policies".

Putin could take on the retarded Bush and chickenhead redneck Palin and her old man McCain in his sleep. It would take all three of those sorry US politicians to string together a sentence as flawlessly as Putin does without a script.

@EmperorofTerra - WHAT Russia did in GEORGIA is little girl play , compared to what USA did in SERBIA 1999.

I KNOW 10000 times more than you, I watch and follow international relations since 1991.

GOD Bless Russian nuclear stockpile --- build more.

@aviomaster You all have been all tricked by the Russian government like the little helpless cows you are. All the overstreched figures about losses of civilian lifes in "South Ossetia". Russia bombed Georgia without mercy and killed hundreds, while also bombing reclessly populated areas in South Ossetia trying to anhilate Georgian forces Most civilians died then. Our leadership was dumb enough to fall into Putin's hands like a silver palte full of meat and we got punished. But God will help

@aviomaster God may bless people like you and save your from your blindness. Russia attacked and occupied Georgia. Not only they have their military on historical Georgian ground for 30 years allready, what violates human rights on all pissible and exsistant ways, but they also invaded territories far off from these regions and every year, they push even deeper into Georgia. Ossetians were saved from nothing.Ossetians were used for cause, to drive us into Putin's trap and they succeded

[EmperorofTerra]

Qoting Putin: "We never harmed Georgia's souvereignity and will never harm it" More than 20% of Georiga is occupied as Russian military forward operation bases and Russia is the side which attacked Georgian forces when they launched an assault as an answer od weeks long attacks of Ossetian armed militant groups ( dont know how else to call peaple who place mines and saboutage police on their patrol ). Who started to shoot first ? Rememeber Russia, who dirigated artillery on us, not Ossetians.

Just like Putin staged that plane crash.  You know, the one where they conveniently took out every important person in Poland.
