Ossetia: the new Chechnya of Caspian gas?

[Philippe Schutt]

precisely, the Georgians of these 2 provinces have more confidence in the Russians. Why ? Russian infiltration or different population?

[gegyx]

I see above all that the information coming from these 2 provinces, emanates only from Russian representatives.

No one has gone to see and record the alleged ethnic cleansing (2000 dead on the first day) of the Georgian attack.
On the other hand, there were abuses against the Georgians.

The steamroller continues, the Duma asks the Russian President to recognize the independence of the 2 provinces.

If it becomes independent, because recognized by them, they have nothing to do with the south of these territories in Georgian country.

Anyway, nothing is clear.
Because currently in Georgia, there are 2 Russian bases and one American ... then?
The Russians seem at home, and do not want to leave ...

[Philippe Schutt]

they are obliged to do so, if only to avoid having used missiles under their noses there too.
Because communism fell, Russia dropped what we wanted to return to the international community, and we still put missiles in Poland. it means that the usa continues to push its area of ​​influence as much as possible. Therefore, it is normal that they respond according to the same twisted rules.
Unfortunately, this is done to the detriment of local populations. Abuses there are always. I bet there are far fewer than in Iraq

Russia recognizes the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia NOUVELOBS.COM | 26.08.2008 | 15: 03

On Russian television, President Dmitry Medvedev declared that he had "signed the decrees" on the recognition of these two separatist republics of Georgia. Paris, London and Rome reject this decision which, for Tbilisi, "has no legal value". On Monday, Washington had deemed "unacceptable" the vote of the Russian Parliament.

Russia recognizes the independence of Georgia's two separatist republics, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. This is what Russian President Dmitry Medvedev announced on Tuesday August 26: "I signed the decrees on the recognition by Russia of the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Russia calls on them other states to follow his example, ”he said in a solemn declaration on Russian television.
"I signed the decrees on the recognition by Russia of the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia," he said in a solemn declaration on Russian television.

If bush was not at the end I think it would be slightly more "muscular" ...

Why fight? there is no more oil Rohhh

Oh that if there is left ... and given the rising price per barrel I think that converted into $ there remains much more than what has already been consumed ... which gives it much more value now than in the past!

some on this site believe that oil is not expensive enough for "ecological" reasons .....
no wonder then that the interest of the petroleum wars has been brought up to date ...

[Philippe Schutt]

in any case, the west has only the diplomatic channel. Economic threats have no effect since we are dependent on Russian gas, and attacking militarily would be suicidal. The permanent refusal to recognize these 2 new countries could well push them to request their attachment to the Russian Federation.

Must do what the Dalai Lama said: put the NATO headquarters in Moscow !!! And accept Russia into the EU!

Can a Dalai Lama become senile? You think?

Can a Dalai Lama become senile? You think?

It's not possible. A Dalai Lama is a well, an abyss of wisdom.
It has a third eye, which allows it to see in the corners, and beyond your basic vision.
He's a guy who doesn't often go to the eye doctor, and if he wears glasses, it's to appear in tune with the times, because let's not forget that he is an immortal spirit.
I think it resonates in the third degree, simply to suggest that it is China which re-enters the EU

Christophe, beware of not blaspheming from now on, towards the eye of God!
It can be fatal. An example :

There will be entertainment in the years to come, too ... at sea and under the sea.

Everything is in the title and I have the impression that the media do not analyze the gravity of the situation ...it vaguely reminds me of the reasons for the war in Afghanistan or Chechnya : oil, gas and / or transportation of these energy resources ...

You would have to find the underside of the maps of the region, everything had to be very well explained ...

Here is already a very good updated article from Wikipedia: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerre_en_ ... tie_du_Sud

Well, you see the news proves you right, how long before a generalized war, because the Russians know that we are ripe, to make us eat raw?

With my clairvoyant greetings ...

Must do what the Dalai Lama said: put the NATO headquarters in Moscow !!! And accept Russia into the EU!

Can a Dalai Lama become senile? You think?

Surely not, but he sees clearly in the hearts of men and he must have a very clear idea of ​​what the future holds for us

I would point out that apart from gas and oil, the Russians (their representatives) have something else! ...
The desire to impose on the world the supremacy of their visions of the future ... Comrade Stalin's party (that super slut) is not dead in Putin's mind (we will end up, eating it as its name suggests- in the patois-québecquois), but he may find a very good way of showing us what he has under his hat (in Brussels "in the coffee maker") and I fear that it will hurt a lot, I have contacts with the Russians here and I can tell you that in the minds of the Russian people, we are decadent people who do not even deserve to live, moreover the riches of the West have made them drool since Papa Lenin and maybe well further...

Finally, we cannot change the course of history
