Russia’s entire national philosophy recapitulated in miniature.

These guys may wear uniforms....but they aren’t anything other than hooligans who barely can take orders. I’d say that the Bolivian National Guard...are more professional than these characters. And I’ll add this comment....against the fifteen thousand invaders....if they had come up against 3,000 US Marines, with just Air Defense support only (not even fighter or helicopter supporter)....the US Marines would have cleaned their clock.

They were just looking for Wodka.

There will be many stories of rape and pillage before this is over and you can bet there will be no “Haditha” style prosecutions of Russian solders.

Just as the invasion of Georgia is a microcosm of their vision for all the breakaway republics.

Aren’t these the same guys that try to sell their AK-74’s to tourists?

The corrupt US media won’t make a big deal out of it-——but, if they put panties on the bank teller’s heads then watch out!!! Crissy Matthews will go crazy!

Aww, they can’t be doing that! They are only helping those poor defenseless South Ossetians that the bullying Georgia massacred.

HA! Some morons on the Sun website are claiming that these are really Georgian troops who stole Russian uniforms. Good God.

They rape, rob and murder!

These thugs are Putin-KGB trained animals!

If our government wasn't so full of communists at the end of WWII and Walter Reuther's brother (commie) didn't travel to Europe to make certain we withdrew most of our troops leaving Eastern Europe open to Stalin, we'd have rolled over the Soviet border and cleaned house!

Or, if Hitler hadn't been a lunatic and concentrated on his Eastern front and left the weak sisters alone, he'd have done the job for us.

A 'Murtha' wouldn't survive in Russian politics.

When the Red Army entered Berlin in 1945, the Soviet Soldiers marvelled at the flush toilets, never having seen them before.

Is the city deserted? I suppose what I am getting at is the lack of so much as law enforcement officers in the area. I am almost certain they would not pull that crap in America. Russian troops would quickly become Russian corpses.

We are armed, the land of the free and the home of the brave.
