Poised for an opportunity to invade sovereign Georgia, the Russian leaders took advantage of the internal turmoil between Georgia and South Osettia. Russia s military not only physically invaded with the false justification of keeping the peace but obviously planned the invasion.
Russia in an attempt to sway public opinion has even attempted to block and deter Internet reporting of the facts on the ground by overburdening websites that they felt would hurt their interests.http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/11/georgia-takes-a-beating-in-the-cyberwar-with-russia/.
Risking world condemnation, the Russian leadership in an attempt to control oil pipelines and political desire for autonomy and freedom (which is contagious) is still slaughtering people in villages all over Georgia and South Osettia.
This morning’s meeting with French president Sarcozy resulted in verbage only as Medvedev agreed under his terms to a cease fire. The cease fire does not exist however as all reports from the ground prove (georgiamfa.blogspot.comand) that Medvedev claims to be leaving his “peace keeping” forces intact in Georgia.
World leaders need to cowboy up and demand that Russian forces leave Georgia and stay out of there as they allow a neutral peace keeping force to monitor the remains of that nation.
The deaths of the citizens of Georgia and South Osettia are now on the hands of the Russian leaders and amount to nothing less than war crimes that should be followed up with effective condemnation of Russia that is meaningful enough to affect policy changes.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackSouth Ossetia has been de facto independent from Georgia since it declared independence as the Republic of South Ossetia early in the 1990s.
Georgia INVADED S.Ossetia and killed hundreds perhaps thousands of people many of whom were russians. They instigated a war and Russia came to S.Ossetia’s aid. It was reasonable for russia to counter-attack and push into georgia to neutralize their offensive threat.
Georgia is the aggressor who massacred people unprovoked. Theyre playing the victim and you’re all falling for it. Its not about oil and its not about Russia taking control of Georgia. As long as russia withdraws (which they will) there is no issue here. And western response to the situation is disgraceful.
Medvedev and Putin to davidschussler (AKA “World”):
It’s time you learn how to read son… It looks like you already know how to write (unless you asked your Mom to post to blogs for you), but somehow skipped the reading part. I looks like it’s fun activity for you - you hear something (on CNN I guess) and you write… Check out reading - it could be fun!
Read the blogs of the people of South Ossetia and Georgia, and listen to the live reports. The Russian “saviours” are killing the South Ossetian expatriates as well as the Georgians. The Russians have a history of moving into chaos in order to take over. Why do you suppose the surrounding free world nations that have suffered in the past from Soviet oppression are speaking out so loudly now. Remember Afghanistan and just what the purpose of the invasion was then. Don’t suppose there is any difference here, unless you would want to fool yourselves. Sure there is bad blood between the Georgians and the Russian South Ossetians which is no different than any other stupid tribal intolerances that lead to civil war, death and destruction, but having a third party with selfish purposes intervene and kill everybody is utterly useless.
