Russia's going to win just look at the odds Russia-T80, T92 ,BMP2 ,BMP3,MI24,MI28,MIG29,SU-35,KA50,BLACKJACK vs Georgia-T72,T62,T55,BMP1,BTR60,SU25,MI24. and its 10 to 1 Russia's whooping some Georgian ass. Georgia should try gorilla warfare that would work try to bleed Russia , then Putin would think twice about occupying Georgia.:hide:

Haha while I am sure Russian troops would be less than enthusiastic about having Georgian troops swinging from trees and throwing dung and old banana peels at them I am not sure it would be an effective method of preventing invasion, I assume you mean Guerrilla warfare not Gorilla. :)
 
even throw dung at the Russians is a good idea lol :whip: or even better strap bombs to septic tank's give the Russians a disease :sick:

Would the U.S. aircraft flying Georgian troops home from Iraq have a U.S. fighter escort whilst in Georgian airspace?

I noted from one news service that Putin is pretty upset that the U.S. is flying the Georgians home. Other than putting every C-17 capable airfield out of commission or taking out the C-17s what can he do about it?

I would suggest that in the scheme of things an extra 2000 Georgian troops is somewhat meaningless what I suspect is that the Russians see it as adding fuel to the fire.
 
Just heard on ABC news here in Australia that President Medvedev has ordered a halt to military operstions. Anyone else heard this from other sources?
 
Georgia started this crap they are a little mutt, that taunts a big dog, one day the big dog's chain broke or they pissed the big dog off to the point it broke the chain, now the little dog is running away with it's tail tucked and the big dog is right behind it.

Georgia should have waited till it had the NATO shield before lauching a military offensive on SO.

The dumb asses are getting a reality check.

If you mess with the bull you get the horn.

^^^ Well said, that man ^^^

The Russians are surely flexing their muscles, but why should they take sh!t from the Georgians. I'm sure that most Russians would see it as a rescue mission for the people of South Ossetia. With their recent cease fire they are showing quite admirable restraint.

No. Seperatists in South Ossetia started the conflict by trying to take land from Georgia and adding it to Russia, which is already the world's largest country.

How they did it? :D
Lunatik said:
Russia has been violating international law by supporting South Ossetian seperatists and others and thus destabilizing the region in hopes of keeping Western investment (and NATO) out.

Well, pretty the same scenario that was with Kosovo and Serbia.
Lunatik said:
South Ossetia is part of Georgia and the Georgian Government has all the rights to send in troops to keep peace inside its territories. Georgia is a sovereign country and Russia has no business inside Georgian territories.

1) The Ossetian people do not want to live together with Georgian people and under their government. That's a fact.
2) Russia and Serbia had all the rights to send in troops to keep peace inside its territories as well. Despite of separatist movements in Chechnya and Kosovo. Or here we dance, but there - not?
 
Supostat,

I can definitely see the Russian point of view here, and God knows, if I was Russian, I'd find our actions 100% right and justified. But I am not, and I can look at this from an even handed, objective perspective. Let's not even begin to compare Kosovo to Georgia, that'd be a gross of a simplification, it's apples and oranges.

Russia basically invited the Georgian offensive by giving the people that live in Ossetia Russian citizenships. How would you like it if America gave all the people living in Novosibirsk American passports and then claimed the city for itself? Russia is a thief, and a shameless as well as opportunist one. It took advantage of the small size and weakness (both military and diplomatic) of the Georgian state. It attacked on the day of the olympic games when all the world's leaders were in Beijing and couldn't react on time. It attacked using excessive force and killed and wounded many innocent civilians and forced them (around 100,000 of them) to escape south. It attacked deep into Georgian territory, far from Ossetia! It bombed irrelevant pipelines, airports (in Tblisi?) threatened a democratically elected president just because he's pro-West! It shamelessly invaded Abkhazia even though they had nothing to do with Ossetia. It sank a Georgian boat in Georgian waters...

Sorry but Russia is the guiltier side here by a long margin and almost everyone, with the exception of Russians themselves, acknowledge that fact.

It appears Russia is in the wrong, that's for sure. However, their well thought out manipulation is pretty good. They can make a good argument out of a lie it seems. Shoulda listened to Patton.
 
And their veto power on the UN Security Council as well as being the major energy supplier to Europe mean they will probably get away with this... But, I have a feeling because of this Georgia will become a member of NATO a bit quicker now, maybe spring of 09? Of course, they barely have a military at the moment and NATO membership will require a major modernization / standardization afford. Oh, more yummy defense contracts. :)

Oh, and this is another strong que that the EU should start looking for alternative energy suppliers. Maybe the Nabucco project (Central Asian oil/gas via pipeline through Turkey) will finally start rolling.

I would guess we will chicken out and backoff on the NATO membership for Georgia. We'll see of course but that's the way it seems it will go to me.

Yeah it could play out that way too, I don't know. But, what would that say about NATO to the rest of the world? Besides, they've already initiated the membership process. Georgia participates in NATO's Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP).
