Ms. Condie Rice has comported herself quite well in her press conference on CSPAN which I am currently viewing.

She mentioned , in fact, that the government of Primeminister Putin has done much more in military behavior, than to protect the citizens of South Ossetia in its aggression against Georgia.

The ball is in your court.

Nice to hear good things from the feeling person… Thanks you for support!

ps: Georgia, Osethia, Abhasia… is not provinces or states… of United States of Amerika… тем более Россия ;)

From the American and British perspective in that moment, it was more important to defeat Hitler than Stalin; but after World War II, both allies knew right away that Stalin was now the biggest threat to the world. Because he was.

As Churchill said, if Satan himself had invaded Berlin at the height of World War II, then the Prime Minister would feel compelled to say a kind word about the Devil.

Russia’s the hare, the UN’s the tortoise

And USA are the smucks spectators.  

But, but, we were told that Condoleeza Rice is the ultimo Russian expert on these matters ? And she is the Secretary of State.

 Oh, well, never mind, Obama is gonna fix all this because he a citizen of the world and he thanked the people of Germany for something in his last speech there.    

With all that money Obama has collected perhaps Barry could give a political speech in Tskhinvali, the capitol of South Ossetia.

They have voters, so why not go ? Like Obama could even thank them for something as long as it gets into the MSM sound byte division.

Maybe, I got this all wrong.

After all democracies do not go to war with other democracies according to Professor Reynolds and Dean Esmay.

And those are the guys with the charts.

Ron, I don’t agree with you or with Dave Price over the role of the Soviet Union in liberating Russia from the Nazis during 1941-1945, nor about the Soviet role in eastern Europe from 1945-1991. Stalin’s Russia was the only organized power that could defeat and destroy Hitler’s Germany. And during those years, that was all that counted. . . .

Am I on Stalin’s payroll as you suggest? Not really. But I respected him a lot more than Churchill and Rossevelt rolled up together. Those two were fighting their war from relatively protected sanctuaries, with the wealth of the western world to sustain them. But Stalin knew that he, his government and his country had nobody else they could count on but the strength, bravery and steadfastness of purpose of the great russion nation.

I can almost hear The Internationale playing in the back, Arnold, but you don’t even remotely attempt to, much less refute, a single material fact about the role of Stalin, one of history’s greatest mass murderers and the inventor of modern totalitarianism, in causing World War II.  Instead you seem to have some kind of weird fixation for what can only be described as, well, Communist propaganda regarding the role of the USSR in that war.  You have adjectives, but no facts, and evidently no moral compass whatsoever.

The sovereignty of the Gruzim means about as much to me in 2008 as the sovereignty of the Mandan, Lakota, Sioux and Blackfoot indian tribes mattered to the government of the United States in 1876. We wanted to take their land in order to populate it with our own people, exploit its resources, and drive away or kill off anybody who could have contested the issue with our leaders of that era.

We won because we had the power to enforce our will over the Indians, and we broke them in the process. That — and no other reason — is why we operate the United States of America in 48 states from coast to coast in a temperate climate zone, plus our alaskan colony in the Arctic and our  hawaiian colony in the central Pacific.

I am certain the modern government of great Russia will treat the defeated and humbled Gruzim with infinitely more compassion and light-handedness than we ever accorded the degraded chieftains and warrior classes of the tribes of Indians whose societies we smashed and destroyed on the great plains of North American only 120 years ago.
 
Our actions in aiding and arming the Mujahadeen in soviet-controlled Afghanistan under Reagan and G W H Bush helped undermine the Russian presence in that land, and with it, the Soviet Union as a whole.  Now we are still in the process of paying a major national price for that unwise intervention in someone else’s back yard. There was no al-Qaeda in Afghanistan until we unwisely helped weaken the Russian control of that country.  And the muslim arab attack on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001 was just a small part of the price we are still paying for that policy.

I for one welcome back the re-emergence of Russian national power. If only to protect the stability of their own borders, they will do more than any meaningless collection of NATOs and other useless diplomatic fictions, for purposes of making sure the peace is kept in eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and among the turkish republics of south central Asia.

Am I on Stalin’s payroll as you suggest? Not really. But I respected him a lot more than Churchill and Rossevelt rolled up together. Those two were fighting their war from relatively protected sanctuaries, with the wealth of the western world to sustain them.  But Stalin knew that he, his government and his country had nobody else they could count on but the strength, bravery and steadfastness of purpose of the great russion nation.

Russianwerwolf, my wife grew up in Hrvatska and was taught to read your cyrillic alphabet and with it, Russian as well as Serbian. So she translated your statement to me. I wish your soldiers success in protecting the Ossetins and those Gruzim who wish to live in peace with Russia.
