Russia preparing to attack Tblisi and conquer all of Georgia
 The Russian troops are marching towards Tbilisi. Georgia could fall by tomorrow morning. According to Stratfor, "Russian forces do not excel at night fighting, so if there is to be another push it will occur at dawn Aug. 12 with air and then armored strikes on Mtskheta. Should that happen there will be literally nothing to stop the Russians from attacking Tbilisi directly". President Saakashvili said in a televised address that the situation is "extremely grave" and that the Georgian troops are being regrouped around the capital. "This is occupation attempt, attempt to totally occupy Georgia, attempt to destroy Georgia. Russias goal is to put an end to existence of the Georgian state. We are receiving only moral and humanitarian help from the international community, but we need more than that. We want them to stop these barbaric aggressors." He also called on the population to gather outside the Parliament at 3pm on August 12 "to show the enemy that we are united and strong." Posted by: OldSpook 2008-08-11 |
