It’s nyet... I guess you are not russian.
LLS
Again, Churchill didn’t lead in battle. He didn’t write op-eds after the war started. He stated the plan and carried it out. This guy is to busy to lead because he is trying to get the Washington Post editorial board to demand the U.S. do something.
That might have worked in 1968 it doesn’t now. What he should do is bring the media in and show them the death and destruction and start killing Russians.
I can’t find the exact quote, but a thought submitted by a reader a few years ago to James Taranto of the Opinion Journal (WSJ.COM) had it that thanks to freedom of speech and the Internet we can now quickly find out who the idiots are!
It is pronounced “nyet” but spelled net. I guess you aren’t Russian either.
What the heck else is he supposed to do? Don a helmet and grab his AK 47?
It is not as if anything that he does will matter much, but your take on the situation is rather immature, IMHO.
Well, when the Russians run his ass out of the country maybe he can get a job at the Post as a stringer.
You and I must be strange people.
I thought the same thing. lol
I can think of several leaders who were outnumbered and outgunned whose first response wasn’t to write a letter to the editor. And some of them actually ended up winning.
Most people have seen enough media reports to know what is happening. Easy enough for someone sitting in his Laz-E-Boy to urge "start killing Russians". The Russians have 10 tanks to the Georgians 1. They need help.
Well... It does get your attention.
So if you disagree with the Duncan Hunter crowd you are troll?
It sure got mine! ;o)
Of course they need help. But it would be easier to get the country to help a man who is leading the defense of his country instead of acting like Bob Herbert.
Britain would have been starved out, annhialated, and overrun if not for our help with supplies, arms, and logistics, and history wouldn’t look so kindly upon Churchill’s leadership.
Now Georgia needs our help, and he needs to make his case to the American people.
What do you want him to do, pick up a rifle, fix his bayonet, and charge the Russian lines?
Those people who obfuscate for the Kremlin by claiming that Kosovo set the precedent have it backwards. The USSR, as it collapsed, started or fueled the civil wars in Georgia and Azerbaijan to keep the red boot on the Caucuses. They tried similar ethnic violence in the Baltics, where it failed, and TransDiniester, where it worked. Hence Moldova has not rejoined Romania, despite having been carved out of it in World War 2.
He’s using his time very wisely. Georgia cannot defeat Russia alone, just as Britain could not defeat Germany alone.
Churchill spent quite a bit of time talking to Americans about the greater cause. So in effect, Churchill he is.
With all do respect, Georgia has to do a better job of getting facts out. Thanks to the Russian domination of information in the region and the help of communists and ignorami in the international press, we are told that Goergia initiated this conflict. Actually, it was the Russian-backed Oseetes who did, following Russian reinforcements and a Russian “excercise” in the region.
The man has a well known record as President. Perhaps you should read up on that before casting dispersions.
Voice of Russia is reporting that its the US’s fault, That Condi egged on Misha giving him mixed messages.
Okay....
They also deny sinking ships or bring anywhere near Poti
What a load of horsepucky
