USA vs Russia - START

[BarthelloSylph]

Yes Kuya - it's southern slang for you alls.

Glad I could provide a three post derail.

[Churchill]

sadly it's not news at all that mccain's camp is literally filled with lobbyists.

Or anyone elses. Moving on...

Rigor, my comment of the news being my only source was a bit of sarcasm, sorry you missed it.

Russian Army just taking a tour of the country for lulz I guess?

[Churchill]

Russian Military:

"To create peace, to increase the separation between the forces, and to stop not the war between our armed forces and Georgia's but between Georgian and Ossetian civilians. And to stop the war between bandits."

AP:

The vehicles advanced unimpeded by Georgian police and army stationed along the road. A Reuters correspondent saw a military ambulance, snipers and rocket-propelled grenades.

Not a bad article, I had expected it to be more about reconnaissance and battlefield familiarization patrols (which sounds like what they could very well be) but if the piece about moving forward to stop bandits and looters was true, then good job Russia.

[aurik]

Hook line and sinker, you're a sucker for propaganda. "Yes, we're just mobilizing our army in your territory to stop those darned bandits"

[Beckwin]

Kinda like how we took a tour of Iraq for the lulz "after" Afghanistan with the propaganda of "Yes, we're just taking over a sovereign nation because of WM- oh wait, I mean, to spread some democracy and liberate a people."

Russia is going overboard here, but kinda like how there were some human rights abuses in Iraq, there is some looting and ethnic conflict going on in Georgia.

But really though, should we wholeheartedly get behind the Georgian government here when they obviously rolled into South Ossetia and began attacking people there banking on us saving their asses?

[Churchill]

I just have better information than you on this subject, so to me it's highly unlikely that this is anything more than a recon and battlefield familiarization patrol. Pretty much like I stated. Also like I stated, if the piece is true about bandits, then good job. I could care less, but it would be good for Russia to do.

As far as this being an indication of posturing troops for an attack on Tbilisi, no, lol. I guess you missed the part that I quoted where Georgian police and army gave no fight, and no fight was given to them.

At most it's a reminder to Mikhail that he's not long for presidential office.

But I'm sure everyone here has much better data on this than I do, lol.

Unless you're in the Russian military and currently stationed in Georgia, cut the bullshit.

You're the most ignorant person who has ever posted on these boards, dismissing -anything- contrary to your opinion as a work of fiction. Get over yourself, or read an article that wasn't published by the Russian state controlled media.

Georgia isn't innocent in the matter, but Russian hands are covered with blood in this conflict too.

[Atlasion]

Oh, is Churchill Russian too? Would explain one or two things. I'm wondering what exactly his "better information" is.

[aurik]

He's an online 4-star general and CIA operative in the region. Pairs up well with Guartz's online medical degrees and intimate familiarity with ballistics.

Please share. Enlighten us.

4 star is a tad high.

Only if it's a rotary, duh.

[Rigor]

I'm calling shenanigans on the "Better information than you on this subject" until you pony up and give us the end all sources on anything Georgia vs Russia.

[Beckwin]

his car tells him things. it's an Asian version of kitt. you obviously haven't heard about churchill's car, which makes sense because he never talks about it.

[Rigor]

God damnit, I'm always the last one to find out about these things!

[Churchill]

Well now you know, buy a rotary, become enlightened.

[Rigor]

You can't just call us all mis-informed and then not give up how you became such an expert .

Also in all seriousness how did you become an expert in marksmanship like you claimed in the other thread?

[Beckwin]

he's a grunt
