Pravda's take on the current military engagement between Russia and Georgia.

Russia: Again Savior of Peace and Life

The international community collectively held their breath waiting for the reaction of Russia after the savage, brutal, criminal attack by Georgia on South Ossetia. After having offered a cease fire in hostilities, the back stabbing Georgians immediately violated the cease fire, invading South Ossetia and causing massive destruction and death among innocent civilians, among peacekeepers and also destroying a hospital.

At approximately 11:30 p.m. Moscow time Georgians opened fire with heavy artillery from the side of the Georgian villages of Ergneti and Nikozi against the city of Tskhinval, the Defense Ministry of South Ossetia announced on Thursday. Georgian troops attempted to storm the city much as Hitler‘s Panzer divisions blazed through Europe. Also noteworthy is the fact that Georgian tanks and infantry were being aided by Israeli advisors, a true indicator that this conflict was instigated by outside forces.

Meanwhile, the western corporate media was maintaining a blackout of “the grand silence” on the aggression of Georgia. When they did finally report on it, they were as usual telling the story backwards with headlines such as “Russian Jets Attack Georgia” and “They Have Declared War Against Us” as though Georgia had not done anything wrong.

I have to confess that I am not at all sure who is telling the truth here.

The Georgians claim that Russia attacked them without provocation. The Russians claim that the Georgians are engaging in genocide against the little town of South Ossetia. Where the truth lies I have no idea as of yet.

But what I have noticed is how one sided and rabid the Republican response has been. We even flew Georgian troops from Iraq to their country so they would not miss the fight.

This really pissed off the Russians which seems like a fairly careless mistake for us to be making right now. I mean the majority of our troops are bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan so can we really take a chance on pissing off our most dangerous adversary form the old days?

So are we blindly supporting Georgia because they have supported our little fracas in Iraq? Or does the government have more information that they simply not sharing with us yet? Or is their an ulterior motive for our governments apparent desire to start some shit with Russia?

I am almost afraid to find out what the answer to these questions might be.
