backingrussia
I feel dirty doing this, but I'm backing Russia on this one. Georgia has no right to be invading South Ossetia, and the timing is ridiculous. I can't imagine Georgia, with its NATO ambitions, actually bothered to confer with the West on this one... but I could be wrong. I doubt it, given that all the Western leaders are in Beijing and they chose that moment to attack.
Morons, the lot of them. I will be sorely disappointed if the West doesn't look upon Georgia with consternation after this. They effectively declared war on Russia by firing upon their soldiers first. This is a pretty clear-cut case of feeling over-confident about having big, bad friends.
Let's hope this one doesn't turn too ugly.
