Georgia breaks diplomatic ties with Russia
RUSSIA TODAY
Friday, August 29, 2008
Tbilisi has announced it will sever all diplomatic ties with Moscow within the next 24 hours. All Georgian diplomats will be recalled from Russia on Saturday, according to the country’s Deputy Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze. Earlier, its parliament declared that all Russian troops in the conflict zone were ‘occupiers’.
Vashadze also said that Russian diplomats should leave Georgia.
Russia has expressed deep regret at the decision. Andrey Nesterenko, a spokesperson for the country’s Foreign Ministry, said: “It’s not the choice of Russia. And the responsibility will rest with Georgia.”

But the Ministry has not received an official confirmation of the Georgian decision to break off diplomatic relations.
The Georgian Consulate, however, will continue operating in Russia, the Georgian Foreign Ministry said.
“This decision does not mean that, for instance, contacts between the two countries’ foreign ministries will be severed completely,” said Vashadze. “Such meetings are possible on territories of third countries.”
The resolution issued by the parliament said all military units, except those allowed by the Georgian constitution, are illegal. Thursday’s sitting of parliament instructed the country’s government to sever diplomatic relations with Russia.
Earlier this week, Tbilisi recalled most of its embassy staff from Moscow.
The parliament has also called on the government to cancel all agreements which allow Russian peacekeepers to remain in the disputed republics. These include the UN-backed ceasefire deals of the 1990s.
The Georgian military launched an attack against South Ossetia on August 8, 2008.
Shortly afterwards, Russia called an emergency session of the UN Security Council in an attempt to end the Georgian aggression, but it didn’t bring any results.
Taking into consideration that many in South Ossetia had Russian passports, President Dmitry Medvedev ordered elements of Russia’s 58th Army to enter the conflict zone – the move Georgia called an invasion.

I think that Russia will be heartbroken, that is if they do not accidentally step on Georgia.
I can see the Russian government in complete disarray. OMG, Georgia severed all diplomatic ties with us. How will we survive? Quick, someone bring a magnifying glass so that we can study the map and see if we can come up with a solution to this immense crisis.

Georgia is making a hell of a mistake here unless they have American or European backing for this decision. Its political suicide at best. Russia can invade and take them over in a heart beat.

Thank you Pravda for publishing verbatim everything that I write, without any questioning or editing, even when I say that the Moscow Apartment Bombings of 1999 were an Inside Job committed by the Russian FSB. See article below.
No media oulet in the Western world would EVER allow me the freedom of speech that I find in Russia.

The Godfather USA
By Gregory Fegel
“To be an American citizen is very much like being the child of a wealthy and unscrupulous criminal ‘Godfather,’ who appears to be kind and generous to his own children at home, but is unflinchingly treacherous and murderous in conducting his family business, which is based on coercion, domination, exploitation, and violence. The average US citizen enjoys prosperity and relative freedom, but US prosperity derives in large part from the criminal xploitation of, and frequently the outright murder of, millions of innocent people in developing countries throughout the world. Most US citizens choose to remain in a perpetual state of denial regarding the criminal activities of their government, because they lack the courage and the character to learn and face the truth. An unquestioning acceptance of the values, motives, and goals of the US government by the majority of US citizens allows those citizens to be easily fooled and manipulated by the propaganda presented to them by the US government and by the US government-controlled ‘Mainstream Media.’
From early childhood, US citizens are raised on a steady diet of pro-US government propaganda that is fed to them at school and at home through the media of television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, and popular music. The propaganda presents the US government as an ethically superior exemplar of justice for the entire world, as an exceptionally generous contributor to global economic development, and as a benevolent arbiter of world affairs. Furthermore, a great deal of crucial information about US political history, particularly regarding events of the past half-century, is not taught in US schools and is never allowed to appear in the Mainstream Media outlets.”
