It's the same camera (the second one, the first never worked), I only post the fixed image because it will affect less the server and the refresh rate is too high, we almost do not have time to see the image before it changes to a new one.

The way things are going, we might not be here in a few months..

So one thing is clear - the Russians are utilizing some sort of ghost tanks in Gori. No one can see the tanks now, however everyone is sure they are there. Gori is also being occupied by ghost Russian troops.

The first indication of some trouble would be when we see that electricity has been cut off...ie the cam goes offline...

This article says Georgia was earlier using helicopter gunships to pound South Ossetia. Could it be that these helicopters were what were seen in the live footage of Gori prior to the Georgian flight from the city?

A Reuters witness saw Georgian helicopter gunships bombing targets near the South Ossetian capital Tskhinvali, sending dark smoke billowing into the air. A second reporter heard heavy artillery bombardments on the road north of the wrecked town.

Do you expect 100 Russian tanks to take Tbilisi? Surely an attack on Tbilisi would require thousands of pieces of armor plus tons of infantry. Where is this invasion force?

Saakashvilli is just blowing smoke everywhere. He is raising alarm, but no one besides his ministry is able to ascertain that Russians are advancing to Tbilisi or anywhere near it.

To help understand the position of the camera, here is map I found somewhere and shamelessly saved to my computer.

The camera is near the green flag in the lower middle area of the map, near a subway station.

Maloy please translate this video

has anyone considered the possibilities of a regime change?

Could the invasion of georgia just be a small step maybe to get a southern plank going? Would certainly help them sweep through Europe if thats the case.
