Yeah but they'll claim it isn't only humanitarian aid.

Hate to quote myself, but since I was accused of pulling conspiracy theories out of my backside:

US officials said their two planes carried cots, blankets, medicine and surgical supplies.

Russia suggested that America might have sent in military aid too, a claim which was rejected.

So no proof, Russia just "suggested" not even accused :/

Sounds like you're pulling conspiracy theories out of your backside

Gotta love the front page of "The Sun". I just saw it while at the petrol station.

"WE'LL NUKE POLAND" - If U.S. help Georgia.

Edit: I can only assume they came to this wild statement based on this report.

Hence the link which clearly states this. :confused:

I don't read newspapers so don't know the exact details of the report.

But it says nothing about Georgia on the front page, the actual headline is...

We'll Nuke Poland - The price of helping US.

However, i can see where your coming from with US helping Georgia with Aid etc.

Well, looks like we're in for a new Cold War then. I absolutely loathe what Russia is doing right now, and they need a goddamn slap around the face. At least Russia is a tangiable threat unlike the assorted ghost ideologies we've been wasting troops and lives on.

Have to say I am not particularly pleased with Polands decision to host the US defence site. Not so much because I think Russia would invade, but because I really think Poland has a bit of an obsession with the US; which is stupid considering the US treat the Polish very much like the English treat the Irish (in the sense of mockery etc), but probably worse.

I saw that, Censoring the media so that they can convey their own lies and munipulate people.

My friend just got back from Africa and spent 8 months out there traveling across pretty much every country. He spent quite some time in Ethiopia and he says that he didn't see one starving person on his whole trip. He says that the media were broadcasting from the wastelands and ex-volcanic regions where life is pretty grim, but the people have the chance to move to the greener areas where there are farms, cattle, buildings.

Because of this, I am completely ignoring the media from now on.

My dad had someone from Africa's tourism industry on his marketing course. He actually hates the charities as they turn tourists away by making out that Africa is full of disease and starving people.

Regarding Russia, the media might show tanks and APC's rolling out of Georgia, what they don't show you are the masses of military units remaining in the country and new units forming on the border.

Don't know if this link has been posted yet, couldn't be arsed reading all 25 pages. I'd imagine the bulk of it think that Russia are the evil doers.

There are no military installations in the city of Tskhinvali. In fact, there are no military targets at all. It is an industrial center consisting of lumber mills, manufacturing plants and residential areas. It is also the home to 30,000 South Ossetians. When Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili ordered the city to be bombed by warplanes and shelled by heavy artillery last Thursday, he knew that he would be killing hundreds of civilians in their homes and neighborhoods. But he ordered the bombing anyway.

I read the above first paragraph and did a massive :rolleyes:

I didn't expect anything else other than a complete misrepresentation of this conflict from a massive anti-American site.

The US bother me more. With their overt bid for global domination. The missile defense system is unbelievable! Put your self in Russia's shoes just for a moment.
The US are the greatest danger to world stability right now. Not the Russians.

I agree with that, look what happened when Russia tried to put missiles on the US door step. Its bloody hypocritical.
