Russia ’still bombing Georgia’
Press TV
Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Tiblisi says that Russian aircraft are bombing Georgian villages although Russia’s president had ordered an end to military operations.
“Despite the Russian president’s claims earlier this morning that military operations against Georgia have been suspended, at this moment, Russian fighter jets are bombarding two Georgian villages outside South Ossetia,” said a statement from the foreign ministry.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said earlier on Tuesday that Russian forces were ordered to stop military operation against Georgia to encourage Tbilisi to enter peace talks.

Russia and Georgia have been engaged in a military standoff since Tbilisi started a massive military offensive against South Ossetia on Friday in order to regain control of the breakaway region, which declared its independence from Georgia following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Anatoly Nogovitsyn, a Russian military spokesman, said on Tuesday that Moscow was monitoring the situation and would punish ‘provocative’ actions by Georgia.
Meanwhile, French President Nicholas Sarkozy has arrived in Moscow to hold talks with Medvedev over the crisis.
Sarkozy said it was ‘normal’ that Moscow would defend Russian-speaking people outside Russia, but added the international community should protect ‘the integrity, sovereignty and independence of Georgia’.
The French president will later fly to Tbilisi to meet Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili.

Vatican2refuter makes a lot of sense. Have a staged world
event like potential world war, have it resolved. A way
to promote world harmony is via a type of NWO Council.

Sarkozy and Medvedev doing the freemason-handshake?
Go to:
http://msn.kauppalehti.fi/inde.....mp;ext=msn
and scroll down a little – small picture in a red box. It’s an add/link to a Finnish news website, yet that specific picture can be found in this add only, not in the story.
Another photo I found at
http://www.usatoday.com/travel.....=000000000
but that picture isn’t as clear in terms of how the thumb is placed.
Anyone seen a video clip – or better photos of the meeting?

Seems, to me, to be a payoff. Georgia for non-involvement from Russia when the US invades Iran. Just my thoughts.

Would you guys agree that if Russia tries to take over Georgia proper and overthrow its president then it has gone too far?

@ Spencer. Do you really care? What if they do would it have an impact on your life in any way?

“Seems, to me, to be a payoff. Georgia for non-involvement from Russia when the US invades Iran. Just my thoughts.”
Hell NO! The US would NOT give up Georgia if they could help it, because that would be the natural route into Iran for Russian forces. Russia -> Georgia -> Armenia (a state friendly to both Russia and Iran) -> Iran.
If the US controlled Georgia, they could stop Russian forces from being able to help Iran before it was too late. Now, Russia has just proved they can roll massive armoured columns through Georgia in days. It would not take much longer to get them to Iran.
The pipeline is NOTHING compared to that. Pipelines are a dime a dozen in the scheme of things, but blocking the Russian route of advance into the Middle East makes the Middle East the US’ playground. That is FAR more important than a pipeline that is nothing more than an alternative route.

What, you mean like the US did in Serbia, Iraq, and is threatening to do in Iran? What about Cuba, Panama and Grenada? Or dozens of South American nations?
No, I think if Russia did that, they would only be doing what the western world has defined as the appropriate response to an unfriendly regime in a strategic country!

“@ Spencer. Do you really care? What if they do would it have an impact on your life in any way?”
Actually it will, and it has. An Iran war is much more unlikely now because Russia just proved it has the will and capacity to come to Iran’s aid. US power in that region has just taken a MASSIVE blow. All those little nations that were considering accepting US “assistance” will now be very strongly rethinking that idea, because it is clear the US/NATO wouldn’t help them even of they could.
The US was relying on Russia not calling their bluff, and telling these nations that Russia would never dare… well, they dared and they won.
