Russia’s Nervous Neighbors

to ahchad, actually, you just made yourself look like a moron. When the Georgians Assaulted SO they shelled Russian Peace Keeper bases, killing 10-20 of them, the Russians were not the Aggressors in this, the Georgians are the ones who broke a 10 year cease fire thinking that the Russians would do nothing.

Russia attacking Georgia is like a Great Dane eating a poodle. That is understood no matter how one would train their forces.To say that we did not train them for all types of warfare short of nuclear is a lie. And if it is not...then why did we spend millions of dollars only teaching them to shoot cans off the neighborhood fence? Some friend we are to Georgia.

so what did we train them for and spend millions of dollars in doing it? Send them out to shoot cans off a fence....I don't think so. Russia is like a great Dane attacking a poodle.It is understood that the poodle will never win in an extended confrontation. But all the tools short of nuclear capabilities should be there....no matter how small. To say that we did not train them for all types of conventional warfare is a fantasy..and if its not...then we just sold out our so called "friends".

The US should help the Georgian economy and its people who are in poverty by providing jobs, education, medical health and other necessities. The US can never make the Georgian military to take on the Russians but enough for self defence. To prevent further conflicts, Georgia should be like Finland, being non-alliance.

Under a President Obama & VP Joe Biden administration, the 7 year long multi-biilion $$$$$ futile Iraq War (which has become the MOST COSTLY US military operation whose major responsibilities include security detail and rebuilding of Iraq's destroyed infrastructure, otherwise referred to "nation building" which GW Bush clearly stated he would never allow US military forces to undertake during his debates with former Democratic Presidential candidate VP Al Gore in 2000) would come to an end and America's militray forces would be re-deployed to Afghanistan and possibly Pakistan to prioritze our nation's efforts to destroy terrorist groups and kill Osama bin Laden, and free up our military brigades to aid our European ally, Georgia. Instead of standing in front of a jumbo screen monitor with scenes form 9/11, McBush should have been standing in front of the tragic Minneapolis bridge collapse, the devastation from Hurricane Katrina, the destruction form California's wildfires, and the terrible flooding along the Mississippi River. As a nation, we cannot contiune to use images of Sept. 11th if we are to progress and plan America's future. Shame on McCain and Palin for using the slogan "Country First", I am more convinced than ever that our country needs Senators Obama and Biden as our next President and Vice-President of these United States of America.

what we need to do is stop trying to be the policemen of the world. bring all our troops home from japan,germany,and the rest of the countries and protect our country,stop giving money to everyone,until we bring the deficet down. this stupid government borrows money from china and others and just give it away to other countrys.how stupid can you be.we have needs in this country,or there are many in the world that would love to see this country fail.get rid of these neo-cons and republicans lining their pockets at the expence of the american people.

Absolutely not. Let these USA lead fools struggle on their own. Any country this stupid has to be of ailing mind in any case.
They got what they deserved and America has be incredibly stupid in helping these countries to begin with. Your tax dollars at work in the slime and muck of the White House..

We have to go and spend our tax dollars ,while we are hurting here. This is another mess of Bush-McCain- Cheney. I don't thinks so. What about investing in our own bridges, freeways, schools,education etc. I could keep on naming our needs in this country. We already give them enough!!!

9/11 and religion... What is the connection??? there are the answers! please forward to all

Americans are bored with being scared by the "transcendent" threat of Islamic terrorism. They need something new to be scared of, like a new Cold War with the Russkies. So heck, yeah. We need to arm all these little countries around Russia if we want to start that new Cold War that McCain desperately needs.

It's time that the US actually stepped back and stopped trying to play Daddy to all the other countries of the world. it's time that "daddy" started looking at home and his own children first before trying to heal the world. Typical shoemaker paradox--the children at home have no shoes! Pay attention!

I HAVE JUST RETIRED FROM 35 YEARS BANKING. YOU CAN NOT BORROW YOURSELF OUT OF DEBT. WHEN WILL WE RUN OUR OF INK TO PRINT THIS WORTHLESS MONEY. WE CANNOT FEED AND TAKE CARE OF THE WORLD. ITS ALMOST TIME TO PAYUP.....

With the massive economic failures accelerating the debt in the U.S., who is the U.S. going to borrow from? Three choices: Arab Gulf States, China, and Russia. Please Russia, can we borrow from you so we can attack you?....lol....what a joke...
Endless Wars + Endless Debt + Endless Stupidity = Death of Empire

Yeahh Great leaders of the world, keep spending all our money on military machines who only bring destruction not only to the people, and all living things, but to our planet as well... When will the madness stops???????

Throwing more U.S. taxpayers money at rebuilding the military is allegedly (and most likely true) what brought the problem to crisis stage in the first place. News flash to U.S. politicians; we are tired of your spending lopsided and obscene amounts of money abroad while our economy and infrastructure goes belly up. WAKE UP. Build America, let other countries fend for themselves; they don't appreciate our efforts OR pay us back.
