Even worse, Saakashvili believes that other states should join in and fight Russia in this proxy war because losing could mean the fall of the West.
Saakhashvili is making a supreme mistake and apparently has not been through War for Empire 101. Either he wants to paint a target on himself for Russia to fire at or he sincerely believes the U.S. is willing to do a lot more than they have indicated publicly.
To Bush, McCain, Obama, and the puppet, we do not all see this as an act of Russian aggression against a Western-backed country that wishes to be a democracy and free from pockets of communism left over the Cold War that may still be working evil from Moscow.
We do not think Russia bears no responsibility for the events that have transpired, but many of us do believe that Georgia initiated the events and so whatever Russia did in response should not be characterized as aggression but rather, maybe an act of defense. Perhaps even an attempt to stop attacks on two provinces whose civilians were being targeted intentionally.
If we think we are anything, we should think we are Burmese. The Burmese suffer under terrible repression from military junta supported by China that prohibits protest and arrests protesters arbitrarily sentencing them to life in prison.
If we think we are anything, we should think we are Haitians. Over 85% of Haitians live on less than one dollar a day and most of this can be blamed on political gridlock that the U.S. has helped foster since it supported a coup against Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
If we think we are anything, we are Congolese. For since the days of King Leopold II, the Congolese have suffered from countries and corporations invading their country to pillage and plunder Congo’s bountiful resources such as rubber, gold, and most recently, coltan.
If we think we are anything, we should think we are people from countries like Iraq and Afghanistan who have suffered from wars of aggression led by the U.S.
If we think we are anything, we should think we are Palestinians who suffer oppression from Israel, which continues artillery attacks, air strikes, demolition of homes, shooting and killing of innocent civilians, and maintains a fence/well inside the Occupied Territories that violates international law with the support of Western powers.
If this is about freedom, liberty, and democracy, than we are South Ossetian or Abkhazian because we believe recognized independent entities should be able to function as such when recognized as such.
And Russia. Well, Russia is just Big Brother coming to the rescue. For now.
But, until the U.S. vacates the region and stops giving credence to proxy wars publicly or covertly, there’s no way for us to really know what Russia should be allowed to do and not do.
You see, Mr. McCain, Mr. Obama, Bush, and the puppet---The U.S. has lost all credibility when it comes to foreign policy. It still wishes to continue the “war on terror.” And its leaders want to now fight “the long war.”
Until we incorporate some sanity into our policies, it’s in the world’s best interest to nod their head and tacitly ignore and refuse to support everything we do.
