u don't really recognise sarcasm at all? or how do we call it...uhh...seems double standards .
well, if serious: Putin was in China when all that happened so he called Medvedev and asked: -What are we doing there, Dima? -Vova, we just follow the last will of a deadman. -What will ? -It was Solzhenitsin last will to enter Gori and remove any trace of Stalin. |

Anyway, this invasion shows that the Russians have a good sense for timing. It amazes me why no-one in this forum seems to have yet noticed the speed and decisiveness with which the Russians are conducting their actions: A complete mechanized brigade invaded South Ossetia within 24hours of the Georgian counter separatist offensive and a day or so later all of a sudden a sea borne invasion takes place in Abkhasia. Where did those fully equipped and prepared units come from all of a sudden? Does this type of deployment not require careful planning? |

Well atleast the Russians do what they do best: targeting civilians. We have experienced it here in Finland. Who else.. well Chechnya,Afghanistan and the list goes on and on. But hey, they have oil and gas so who wants to judge them. |

A good example of the Russian sense of humour Or is it the wodka speaking? Are the Russians already toasting to their victory and reclaimed self esteem? To quote my female Russian colleague "All that Russian men are good for is war and wodka." Anyway, this invasion shows that the Russians have a good sense for timing. It amazes me why no-one in this forum seems to have yet noticed the speed and decisiveness with which the Russians are conducting their actions: A complete mechanized brigade invaded South Ossetia within 24hours of the Georgian counter separatist offensive and a day or so later all of a sudden a sea borne invasion takes place in Abkhasia.

All that Russia needed was an excuse to invade Georgia and with the less than impressive Georgian offensive against the separatists the perfect opportunity presented itself. |

maybe that? |

yeah that's why when Russia secured the Russian citizens and PK it has stopped the fiting. Btw in some areas the georgians were smart enuf to drop their weapon, surrender and allow Russian PK to patrol areas again. |

The other Balkan states however... they might just be the key to all of this is they can unite. Otherwise, why would Russia just stop with Georgia? They have laid claim to all of the former satellite countries, so what's to stop them? |
