Saakashvili's UN Speech (Georgian president lashes Putin)

In his address to the UN General Assembly on September 25, Georgia’s outgoing President Mikheil Saakashvili lashed out at Russia for mounting “constant pressures and threats” on neighbors and said that “the last authoritarian empire in the world” will fail and its leader Vladimir Putin will vanish from the Russian politics in “few years from now.”

In his speech Saakashvili, whose second and final presidential term nears its end, also mentioned his tenure saying that “many good things” have been done under his leadership, but also added that “some of these things were done at a very high cost.” Full Text: Saakashvili's speech as dilivered

“It makes me sick when KGB officer Vladimir Putin lectures the world about freedom, values and democracy,” Saakashvili said. “But this new project [the Eurasian Union] is much more dangerous than his lectures.”

“The Eurasian Union has been shaped as an alternative to the European Union and unveiled by Vladimir Putin as the main project of his new presidency – the new Russian empire,” Saakashvili said in his 30-minute speech.

Russian representatives were listening to Saakashvili’s address for first twenty minutes and then walked out of the General Assembly hall.

Russia’s UN envoy, Vitaly Churkin, slammed Saakashvili’s speech as “Russophobic” and said, according to the Russian state-run English-language channel Russia Today: “Luckily for Georgian people, this man – whose mental state needs a professional expertise – is in the twilight of his political career.”

Russia was of the main topics in Saakashvili’s all of the previous nine UN speeches since becoming the Georgian President in 2004. But while in his first two addresses to the UN General Assembly in 2004 and 2005 he was speaking mainly on the need of cooperation, rhetoric was toning up in following years as relations between the two countries were

Its high time the Bush neocon (fascist nazi) Leo Strauss thugs be removed from power by not rewarding the unrepentent, false conservative Republican party with another 4 years of controlling the White House to do McCain versions of Bush atrocities like having puppet dictators of shamocracies shell South Ossetian civilians as reward for sending troops to help us profiteer in Iraq.

NOTE the ineffective USMC woodland marpat crap uniforms worn by the Georgian wheeled narcissist retards who had their asses kicked by the combined-arms, Russian air-mech army, air forces and navy...we made them into mirror images of our incompetent, truck road-bound, egomaniac selves and yet wonder why they lost? Pushing around civilians in a Sub-National Conflict (SNC) is nothing compared to REAL Nation-State War (NSW) combat against a professional army.

Lessons we need to learn: Light Mechanize our Light Infantry before they become wheeled, road-kill victims in a NSW like the Georgians:

For INFANTRY FIRE SUPPORT you are better off with a turretless STUG type tank;

which can be very light in overall size and weight to fit into closed terrains but still be VERY WELL PROTECTED by not having turret silhouette/inefficiency.

Attach DIRECTLY to ground maneuver units observation/attack and A-10 CAS attack planes like the Russian SU-25s are:

STOP exporting incompetent, foot-slogging and truck-hopping light infantry narcissism to our alleged allies; with “friends” like us, who needs enemies? Even for SNCs, infantry must be LIGHT MECHANIZED for air-deliverable, protected, unpredictable, cross-country mobility AWAY FROM ROADS where land mines and ambushes await:

And lastly, borders must be secured by COMBAT ENGINEERING; walls and security fences backed by Quick-Reaction Forces (QRFs) to keep assholes like the pussy Georgian dictator Saakashvili (Sack-of-Shit-villi) out so he cannot massacre civilians and act like a “tough guy” thug. Watch how he ran when HIS OWN ARTILLERY was firing nearby(?) or a Russian SU-25 flew overhead (?) at the end of the video. He’s a neocon chickenhawk profile-in-discourage. War criminal is exact.

The heroes here are the courageous men of the Russian military. You won’t hear this truth on fascist, Fox neocon news.<<

Politics aside, what do you think about it? I think author makes sense in terms of combat reform.

>>>When you invade a puny country without a real army, any doctrine would probably work. That one makes a lot of sense, with an emphasis on protecting the mechanized infantry. Light infantry is for clean up. I get that.<<<

Well, Georgia has invested enormous resources into it’s military since 2004 and it was by all objective accounts more numerous and better equipped than invading Russian force.

Russians has sent under 10 thousand troops to Ossetia and airdropped some 4000 VDV personnel to Azkhazia. It is a much lesser force than the entire Georgian military at the time.
As for main disadvantage for the Georgian troops is that their air force seized operations as soon as Russian planes appeared.
