Alia, how are you? Couldn’t make it down to D.C. today as planned. 20 hour days with techies racing to finish Raging Debate. A six month development project in three weeks. Yeah...

Just peacekeepers I am sure (sic). There is no doubt the Russians have very big plans in the next few short years. To destroy all credibility and cooperation with the West means Putin feels confident he can go after the big energy prize and international currency peg.

The Georgian military would need air support.

You got that right. I make a broad guess here but the intent is for Russia to first link with Iran. With the Caucus energy and Iran protected, the next move would be de-peg oil from the US and EU currencies and threaten GCC neighbors, conduct covert operations in Ukraine and wait for the EU economy to deflate (depression) and then attack. This is going to become a big war, but I would expect to see a regional war in the ME first, followed by an Asian war with North Korea attacking south. The puppet proxies attack all out first. Then the puppet masters attack next. The USA had best get serious on energy and right quick. The libs want there gravy investment money and pork. The US citizenship had best decide now and think about what we will do if and when the Democrat controlled House does little to nothing on energy besides Texas wind and solar panels no one can afford.

The time to have done that was four years ago when Putin began confiscations of private property in Russia and began killing dissidents, targeted assassinations etc. If it looks like KGB and acts like KGB, it’s probably KGB.

Yep. And with a liberal dominated House to boot. Watch the next four years and the left discuss ‘talks’ with the Russians, in other words capitulating and doing nothing.

Because our intelligence and the wisdom to guide it is not what it use to be friend. We need more gentleman-warriors like you in the White House. Time to serve America again but you won’t be alone, thats for sure.

“He forges decree after decree, like horseshoes
In groins, forehead, in eyes, and eyebrows,
Wherever an execution’s happening though - there’s raspberry, and the Ossetian’s giant torso.”
(Osip Mandelstam, 1933)
In Mandelstam’s poem, “raspberry” is a code word for the criminal underworld, of which Stalin was a part. Stalin was born in Gori in Georgia near the South Ossetian border, which is why Mandelstam refers to him as “the Ossetian.” For this reference Mandelstam was arrested in 1934 and purged in 1938. When Stalin was Commissar of Nationalities he invaded his home country of Georgia and was so ruthless that even Lenin was angry. IS PUTIN THE NEW COMMISSAR OF NATIONALITIES?

The commies are back and raping and pilaging as they go. Actually filmed robbing a bank here.

This is serious stuff, and the fact that the commies are now threating Poland with a military response for putting in defensive missiles, is going to be a test of US resolve. Frankly, the commies are smart to do this with a weak US economy, and likely a new weaker administration coming into power. Commander in Chief Obama not likely to rattle any sabers.

If the US response to the Georgian invasion is any sign for the Ruskies..they should be encouraged to take back all satellite nations. The score so far...Commies..1 Freedom...0
