Some of the reports coming back from the new conflict are disturbing.
It seems like some Georgians thought the USA was going to come to their rescue. Georgia is a member of “ the coalition of the willing”, and thought it was going to be a member of NATO. If that had come to pass, the USA would be treaty bound to send troops to fight the Russians. As if our armed forces are ready for another battle. The war in Babylon has taken its toll.
How many other countries have we agreed to help if they anger their neighbor?
Some of the news reports from Russia openly blame America for this.
Before the shooting started, very few Americans were aware of the Russian-Georgian dispute. Out attention was distracted by the war in Babylon, an election, an economy in tatters, and Britney Spears.
Russia is getting bad press in this affair. They have a mighty army, and don’t seem to care what the rest of the world thinks. There are similarities with the American invasion of Iraq.
