Discussing the Complexities of the Caucasus War
2008-08-22
From my comments to this post yesterday:

#4 Russia has been dispatching human spambots all over the web to post badly written pro-Russia apologias in every comments section on every blog. I'm s'prised we haven't had more here.

You can safely ignore, I don't think it's supposed to wait around for debate.

#5 And I suspect that by now, some few of the useful-idiot anti-America progressive crowd have decided to side with Vlad and will continue to leave similar droppings as well. Possibly with more plausible English.

Possibly.

Editor,The South Ossetians were attacked by the pro-NATO Georgian government.

This is the latest struggle in an ever-escalating series of Russian responses to the unbridled expansion of NATO. Once again, Russia sees the real threat that yet another state bordering sovereign Russian territory will become a NATO state. This time Russia is willing to "up its ante" and engage its military aggressively in order to stop the United States and NATO in its latest attempt to encircle Russia with NATO member states.

The United States should realize that the mindless over-expansion of NATO is the primary cause for the crisis in Georgia. The acronym NATO currently stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Just where on the map does Georgia and Ukraine come anywhere close to touching the North Atlantic? The truth is that they come nowhere close to the North Atlantic, thus the acronym NATO is very much out-dated. I propose that NATO should be renamed ERO. This would reflect the true nature of what modern NATO has become. ERO would stand for: The Encapsulate Russia Organization. Kevin ScottBoston

Editor, Americans want to believe what we are hearing from Russian news sources because we want world peace and prosperity for everyone, yet photographs and personal stories that we hear from independent reporters on location differ significantly from Russia's version of the facts. This is a real problem for everyone. Gery AllenOklahoma City, Oklahoma

#5  Matt K --- The USA is also a cluster of nationalities and tribes -- thus, should Russia invade us? Look at our largest cities -- they definitely have clusters of nationalities and tribes. Which do you prefer Russia to claim first?

#4  I guess you don't like the Hungarian-made map - out of your, well known American bigotry.

I bet that that one below, made in USA will do:

Like it or not - Georgia is a cluster of nationalities and tribes. Dzhavaketia (have you ever heard about it, Frankie?) will follow suit soon...
