Russia/Georgia Situation News & Updates

Well you sure aren't American Harlequin. Your English is horrible and you constantly bash America - so it's obvious you're somewhere other than here.

You could be an Obamatron I guess, but your grammar is too bad even for one of them

Sky News have confirmed the BP pipeline or some pipeline has now shut down and is not pumping any oil at the moment. Apparently Georgia is seeking as much international attention as possible.

Yo stay on topic and post any news that comes by ya

Russian Boy, I agree it is Georgia's fault for this particular skirmish, but Russian bombings inside uncontested Georgian territory is taking it too far. Russia has the power to defend, they do not need to bomb Georgia.

Of course there is propaganda in favor of Georgia, it's more pro-west then Russia.

Georgia invaded South Ossetian and started a campaign of genocide

or did you miss that part?

1600 or more civilians have allready died at teh hands of the brtual Georgian regime in the last 24 hours alone

South Osetia is Georgia. Russia defends its interests, which is OK, but not people. And in doing so it attacks another country.
Georgia attacked Georgians. Not that different for people that getting killed but different as far as politics and international agreements are involved. I do not remember Russian problems with artillery on civilians in Chechnia.
Russia cannot backdown without retaking South Osetia (a part of Georgia) at least and US cannot let down its ally.

"the main topic of today, is that mr. edwards couldnt keep his dong in his pants. Oh and by the way nearly 2,000 people have been killed in georgia"

Not to divert from topic, but China has already bascially won more Gold medals on the first day of the Olymipics than it has in the last few combined.

Hmmm .. something tells me China has some control over who gets what medals there - international judges or not.

actually they are russian citizens and have russian passports - ergo they are defending there own people from georgian attacks.

AP: Russian air raid on Georgian town has left scores of civilians killed and wounded.

So you support Georgia i see by saying Georgia attacked Georgia , they attacked South Osettia most of the people in South Osettia are citizents of Russian Federation and Russia will do everything to defend them . And for the last time it is Georgia who is executing civilians on sight! yes that excatly what i said , they news here show how georgian armord vehicles are shooting people who are just crosing the road trying to get a cover, i think you can also find the video on Russia Today site . Ok i am off for now , going to enjoy the sunshine and the beach with my girlfriend who is looking angry at me stuck in the news

That's not quite black and white though. They did not apply for those passports, the Russians just sent them out there. So are they wanting to join Russia, or become their own nation? Would Russia be happy with another separate country on their borders if the latter?
