RUSSIA MOVES TROOPS CLOSER TO GEORGIA'S CAPITAL

Kyiv Post ^ | April 21, 2009 | AP Staff

Russia has stationed its forces just 25 miles (40 kilometers) from the Georgian capital, in violation of the EU-brokered cease-fire that ended last year's brief war. And in recent weeks, it has sent even more troops and armored vehicles to within striking distance of the city ahead of street protests against Georgia's president.

The Rock Star in Chief is otherwise engaged to address this minor problem I suppose. And our corrupt press will be silent. Another test, another silent F.

The good news IMO is that the coiled spring of the people's anger is being compressed daily. It will will not stay potential energy forever.

The Russian’s are going to take Tblisi & Obama isn’t going to do a thing. Bank on it.

[GeronL]

I am sure will use the pretense of ‘democracy-building’ when they send in the troops. I am also pretty sure the US will do nothing about it.

[americanophile]

How do you say Sudetenland in Russian?

[griswold3]

I swear that was Medea Benjamin in that video.

[jveritas]

Ukraine is next. Our enemies are greatly emboldened by the incredible weakness of Obama. They realize that he is the weakest American President ever and because of this they are going to cause us a lot of harm.

[peace with honor]

of course they have, nothing to fear here

[skeeter]

IMO all hell is gonna break loose in the next 12 months.

[traumer]

Hey why not..... And China is probably watching closely too,

[Raycpa]

I’m not afraid. For once we have a leader who knows how to talk to the bad guys and let them know we understand that the US had been a very bad boy and that we stand ready to make mend our past atrocious behavior.

Ping to our Georgian FRiend and freeper.

Lasha, any news from the front?

Good luck and God be with you and your countrymen.

[dfwgator]

Yep, Georgia is the Sudentenland, Crimea is Danzig.

[B-Chan]

Bye bye, Georgia...

[Lou Budvis]

Of course they are going to take it. They know our TOTUS is a complete dandified fop, who not only doesn’t mind despots, he bows to them (or does a secret handshake with them.) Buh-Bye Georgia. Sorry Poland, but your security is about to be compromised again.

[edpc]

Ukraine is next.

Probably. If/When the Russians move on Tblisi, they'd likely do something under the excuse of securing their interests in Sevastopol.

The goal is to control the flow of oil from the Caspian Sea to keep prices high.

Obama's backers will have made out big with this one. 1979, here we go again.

[the long march]

Oh this is not good news at all. The land of Gog and Magog are rising

"The Rock Star in Chief is otherwise engaged to address this minor problem I suppose. "

Wait a minute. Didn't Gov. Tim Kaine say Obama had solved this problem last August? Here's what he said back then: "It was a bad crisis for the world. It required tough words but also a smart approach to call on the international community to step in. And I’m very, very happy that the Senator’s request for a ceasefire has been complied with by President Medvedev."

“Probably. If/When the Russians move on Tblisi, they’d likely do something under the excuse of securing their interests in Sevastopol.”

They’re going after President Saakashvili.

[jveritas]

I think that they will agitate the Ukrainians who are loyal to Russia to overthrow the pro-Western government in Kiev. If needed the Russians will send in the tanks.
