German peace-keeping troops entering Prague Castle, 16 March 1939. (sarcasm)
The title should have been “Russian peace-keeping forces occupy Georgian city of Gori” (sarcasm).
There has been no declaration of war and these are sovereign states (Georgia and Russia), right? So the Russians should thank us if we go in to aid our Georgian allies in capturing and killing this recent infestation of lawless bandits who have clearly stolen Russian army equipment and uniforms and are using it for illegal and diplomatically indefensible purposes. I mean, I wouldn’t want rogue soldiers to start using US army ID’s and start raising havoc invading a country that we hadn’t declared war on...
Right?
(Yes, this is a Constitutionalist double-jab...)
We had a 1,000 man force there and I wonder what they taught Georgia.
Think a bunch of stinger missiles would come in handy in Tblisi.
If Obama had only been able to talk with Putin, none of this would have happened.
Sounds like the Georgian troops bugged out of Gori without much of a fight.
