Support Russia

The corporate media has been spinning the Russia Georgia story - to the ends of those in the policy offices who want to see a new cold war.




Georgia's atrocities against the South Ossetians were carried out by its army, following government orders. Only after peacekeepers from a multi national Russian led force were killed - did Russia respond.

It is within its rights to act - in humanitarian intervention - to defend its citizens and others in the South Ossetian region.

the Georgian leadership looks increasingly unhinged, out of control and has to be stopped. Saakashvili's violently nationalist rhetoric and violent actions against other ethnic groups is a very real threat to the stability of the region and to those people's peace and human rights.
