"and do their sinister thing" and therein lies the rub. The US did it's "sinister thing" in Iraq. That opened the door for the rest of the world to do the same. Look at Putin and how he has ruled with an iron fist. You think he's going to back down to a country that has only picked on tiny defenseless countries? That's a laugh.

Totally disagree that the Russians started this. This is part of the McCain presidential campaign. A tried and proven GOP political strategy. False flags and dead foreigners=votes for the neocon candidate.... "The day before the Olympics begin, Georgia attacks and massacres South Ossetia. Georgia is an American stooge, supplying the third greatest number of "coalition troops" in Iraq after the U.S. and Britain. South Ossetia is a Russian protectorate for the last 16 years, with many of the residents being official soviet citizens complete with passports. Unsurprisingly, Russia is unwilling to see its citizens massacred, and rolls out the military in response. After the first Gulf war, Russia was convinced it could never match American precision munitions, and declared to the rest of the worl quite loudly that if such munitions were used against them, they would respond with tactical nukes. When Russia moved into Georgia, they brought several medium range missiles that carry low payloads. Militarily insignificant without tactical nukes. For decades, Brzezinski, Kissinger, and similar monsters of the worst in human nature have had the ear of American presidents convincing them that dominance or Eurasia is crucial for arrogant U.S. control of the world. Why would Georgia take such a reckless, insane risk? I can only think the game has just begun. The critical weakness of Russia is it has already stated an intent to use tactical nukes FIRST if attacked with precision U.S. munitions. Which, of course, if used in Georgia would pop the lid off hitting Iran and whoever else is in the next move with nukes. It's the only explanation that makes sense. It's NOT an insane gamble. It's a PLAN!" urbansurvival.com And as in all such adventures, to determine whose plan it is, just follow the money....
