Read the sitrep carefully. It is the irregular Home Guard units of South Ossetia that is doing the looting and attacking of Georgians who lived in Ossetia. If irregular forces fighting longside of US forces did that, the whole world media would be crucifying the US commander. The lesson I take from this war is not that Russians are fighting with Georgians (that has been happening for 1000 years), but how the world treats the US (holds us responsible during the looting of Baghdad) while nothing is utter about the behavior of irregular Ossetia forces under Russian command. LESSON LEARNED - WORLD IS NOT OUR FRIEND, TIME TO PULL STAKES AND TAKE CARE OF HOME.
“It is the irregular Home Guard units of South Ossetia that is doing the looting and attacking of Georgians who lived in Ossetia.”
In Putins stealth annexation of South Ossetia, he gave them all russian passports, which thus gives them Russian citizenship, which thus makes them Russians who are looting, raping, and burning.
How would you react if Canada started handing out passports to all of Maine and Wisconsin claiming that the land used to belong to them historically, started arming gangs and criminals to expand their turf and start attacking the police, and built some military bases and airstrips there claiming it was to keep the peace?
Would the US just sit back and let that all continue?
I know that kind of a stretch considering the size of our military, but still, same scenerio.
