"Do you think long-range hypnosis was involved?"

If this was hypnosis, it originated in Washington. Saakashvili is a US-supported puppet. We removed his predecessor and supplied weapons to him. It strains credibility to think that he would independently put his little army against the might of Russia without the US pushing him into it.

World press, but not US journalists, have reported that this conflict began with Georgia's incursion into South Ossetia, in which 90% of the people hold Russian passports and regard themselves as Russian citizens. Russian troops had been there "to protect their nationals" for years. To attack those Russian troops without US backing would be a suicidal act of madness.

From here, we can expect:

1) There will be American casualties amongst the 2,000 US soldiers in Georgia.

2) Once again, we will hear the deafening "support-our-troops" mantra, and something like "Remember the Maine", or "Remember Pearl Harbor", or "Defend the Gulf of Tonkin Fabrication", or "Weapons of Mass Destruction".

3) More US troops and military assets will deploy to Georgia, very close to Iran.

4) Two presidential candidates will shamefully lie to us about "defense of freedom", by which they mean a super-power struggle for Central Asian oil.
