Another war breaks out. This one snuck under my radar and I thought I was reasonably aware of thse things.

Ah well. Fvck 'em. The Olympics are on and I'm getting really good at Wii tennis.
Anyway, WTF cares about georgia? The yanks can sort thier own states out. noooo:

Hello? European war breaking out? Russian army on the move?
Sound of rattling sabres drowned out by the olympics methinks.
This got get big and nasty.
Hello?

Looks like we'll have another excuse ready made for the Governement to explain why the Gas and Oil prices are going up. ::)

True. Mind you looks like we have a good old fashioned declared war on our hands. No time for the UN to take off its Marigolds ready for some serious hand wringing.
Could all be sorted by teatime with a 5 figure butchers bill.
Oooh those russians. boxing

I can't help but think the odds are somewhat in favour of Russia on this one... noooo:

Depends who weighs in on the Georgian side. Dubya may scent an opputunity to go out with a bang. After all, Iraq ia all but forgotten.
Brown may find an opputunity to hide in this as well. Lets go to war, it worked for Thatcher.

So do the Russians noooo:
Georgia has already indicated that they would like to join NATO. It could get very nasty.
IMHO this is exactly what Putin wants, a reason to rebuild the USSR and confront the Yanks and Chinks again as a "Super Power".
It is 1930's Germany all over again. Recovery of so called "stolen lands" etc.

Indeed, and with immigration and nasty foreign people being high on the agenda I suspect we could be in trouble.

Time for every one to wake up to the fact that there will be three super powers in the world and the rest of us must align to one of them. We seem to have chosen the USA. Russia is proving the point that it is going to be one of the three and it is fairly obvious that China will be the third. France and to an extent Germany are playing out of their league if they think that their pitiful European "Superstate" will ever get into the play offs let alone a medal position.

An afterthought ~ Is there a great deal of difference between Russia invading Georgia, China invading Tibet or the USA invading Iraq? At least the Russians and Chines had the excuse that the invaded were next door and ethnically virtually the same as themselves. All the US had was that he wanted to finish the job that his Dad had started.

There is earlier precedent, much nearer home. .

The Georgian PM played his joker and the Russians called his bluff.. I am on standby for Poland surrender:

Seems the Russian retreat's on a par with the French advance rubschin:

Apologies for the language, but it's getting quite fucking bad over there. We are only two moves away from Nukes. Time to move.
