I'll let you pull up the pictures. Google Milan and Javelin antitank weapons. I hope we are sending plenty of them to Georgia at this time. Hopefully they will be as successful at driving Russians out of a country as the stinger was in Afganistan when you guys invaded there. |

Do you recall what happened when Russia/Soviet Union tried to send missiles to Cuba ? The above sound too much like analysis from Fox News, black and white when in fact it is all anything but that 
Thank God Kennedy and Khrushchev didn't loose their heads and let their testastorn drive their policies.

Instead of counting on the US to bail them out, the Georgians should have talked to the Germans and French before starting a war with the Russians.
Let's not forget that it was Georgia that kicked off this war. In retrospect, maybe they should have been a little more careful. |

American agents in Georgia.
Israel and palestine same thing, they sent contractors into palestine to shoot into Israel whenever they needed a flare up.
Same thing in vietnam, go to video.google.com and look up "chip tatum"
ANd Iraq had contractors to go shoot up towns to get a fight back, keep the war going.
Georgia is being used to start something with Russia and then blame russia.
What are American agents doing in Russia? link

Wow, nukes in response to shoulder fired antitank weapons, now thats a step up in escalation.
American agents are probably doing the same thing in Russia as Russian agents are doing in America, spying, gathering information, duhh. I was wondering how conspiratory nuts would spin this one. |

I think, Russian doctrine allows for use of tactical nukes if their units are targeted with precision weapons.
You see, Russians cannot afford to be seen won by Georgians.
So weird things could happen if they suffer humiliating losses. |

pffft, who are they going to use tactical nukes against? we're going to ship anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles into georgia by the truck load. it'll be just like afghanistan all over again: a guerilla opponent you can't pin down melting into the mountains and the general population, popping up only to bleed you white.
for the US, this now should become: how many russian divisions can we tie down in georgia and how expensive can we make this for moscow.
edit typos.

You might see even weirder things say around January when Europe goes through a cold spell and Russia conveniently has problems with their pipeline(S)
What weird things happened after they were driven out of Afganistan? Other than they fell apart.
I don't think a Milan or Vulcan are considered precision weapons, but hea, I'm not crazy Ivan |

I read last week that Russia just embraced this last week to keep up with American policy. |

| Bad situation then, if Russia cannot afford to lose, and Georgia (nor any of the other prior countries under Soviet control) will fight as hard as they can to not become a subservient country again. |

| I guess that Isreali training wasn't really much good against a real army. Maybe the Israelies have been practicing on teenagers throwing rocks for too many years????? |

They are trying to ramp up Russia as the big bad bear again since no one really believes in a war on terror, might as well start up the cold war.
It is time to get the dynasty out of the white house by voting in a someone who isnt interested in starting wars. |
