Facebook group's - Georgian situation 101

Georgia is now a victim of a brutal aggression initiated by Russia and its cronies in the Caucasus. After Georgian troops defeated the criminal regime of South Ossetia, Russian troops blatantly violated Georgian sovereignty and invaded the country. Georgian army has been fighting one of the best armies in the world for days now. As of now, Russian tanks are advancing to Tskhinvali and Russian Jets are bombing Georgian cities.

The criminal regime that the Russians set up in South Ossetia has accused Georgia of genocide against the Ossetian people. This is a terrible lie and another Kremlin-sponsored provocation. Georgia has always been a multi-national countries that has been home to Georgians, Jews, Ossetians, Armenians, and Abkhazians among others. All these nations have lived in Georgia peacefully for many centuries.

Georgia is not waging a war against Ossetians, Georgians have lived side by side with Ossetians for centuries. Georgia is defending itself from the Russian nationalists who sit in Kremlin and what to annex Georgian land to rebuild an empire that is long gone.

The real genocide happened in Ossetia in the late 1980s and early 1990s when Russian-backed thugs and the Russian military expelled 40,000 Georgian civilians from their homes and killed thousands more.

This is a war in which a small but proud nation fights for its right to exist against a superpower that wants to destroy it.

This group is NOT against Russian people, it is against the Russian government and its aggressive policies against Georgia.

Ok that made no sense at all.

You can blame a lot of things on the US but am fairly sure that the Russians are doing the invadeing and shooting, will check the pictures again to make sure, er yep, BMP's not Bradleys.

As for reminding how the egalitarian russians came to our rescue in several wars is as pointless as pointing out that the Muslims ran spain, yes they did but it ain't today!

Oh in Napolionic times there was a Czar and Russia had militeristic ambitions that were only kept in check by the huge cost of an adventure.
In WW2 can we quickly look at the charming Gulags, work camps, anexations of at least 10 soverin states and Prauge in springtime? walks like a duck........

Blaming the US is cheap and befudles the point that Europe has a monster on it's doorstep and it needs dealing with, the big question is HOW!

This is real, people are dieing, whos next, Estonia?

Georgia and Lebanon

I for one am grateful that Harry Pervert isn't allowed to dominate the comments section with his Daily Mail speak.

Harry opines: "Blaming the US is cheap and befudles the point that Europe has a monster on it's doorstep and it needs dealing with"

Yes - that'll be the same Europe that is so eager to admit the Apartheid state to its fold, despite the fact that the Israeli state is not in Europe, and has its own monstrous ways.

"It is also very interesting at this time to contrast the U.S. reaction to this conflict with its reaction to Israel's smashing of Lebanon. In this case there was an immediate call for ceasefire by the U.S. In the case of Lebanon the U.S. did all it could to block the call for a ceasefire. On American television today there is a relentless parade of images of destruction and talks of a "humanitarian catastrophe". Whereas the level of destruction that was visited on Lebanon was treated as a "he said, she said" affair as if both sides suffered equally. When it was shown at all."

But Harry, like all Daily Mail/Sunday Times readers can only see aggression when it is practised by the 'Enemy of the Day'. Hence the conclusion of Cooney's article (

http://www.counterpunch.org/cooney08132008.html) describes him well:

"The Times on Sunday published an op-ed by William Kristol describing the "aggressive powers" of the world without even a self-reflexive twitch, not even a nod at the most aggressive power of them all. It's like Parisians used to say about the ugly Eiffel Tower when it first went up—the only time you can't see it is when you're inside it."

Okay, so you've told us how nasty America, Europe and Israel are. Does that excuse the behaviour of Russia? If you're going to demonstrate against the US and Israel, then there's also a pretty good case for demonstrating against Russia.

Ignore Iraq , Afghanistan and Palestine - Georgia is the real issue

"there's also a pretty good case for demonstrating against Russia."

Yes - I'm sure Putin will 'behave' himself if a few one-dimensional facebook junkies hold placards outside the Russian Embassy.

what a load of old toss this site has become.

Hmmmmmmmm

'one-dimensional facebook junkies' such arrogance is hilarious. Do you think that you are better than everyone else because you post on indymedia? Is your idea of humanity a place where only the people you approve are allowed to protest as long as it is by your means? Smells a bit like fascism to me.

Maybe you need to ask yourself some deep questions before you pass judgement on eveyone else!
