What do you think of the Russian invasion of Georgia as far as the presidential candidates?

Question

I have been listening to the candidates speak on the above problem. McCain came out with a solid speech and Obama just has no clue. I read that the Russians are sending a message to the world, and salivating over the prospect of this useful idiot (Obama). Your thoughts....

Answer 1

First, just to correct your fact, Georgia attempted to invade the South Ossetia region of Russia, then Russia went and bombed the hell out of them to make them get out and not come back.



EVERYONE in the rest of the world is salivating over the prospect of Obama controlling the US. Mainly Venezuela, Cuba, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, and Osama Bin Laden himself. Thats a pretty ominous list right there. The fact is, he wants the US to become The United States of Europe. I mean "we can't just drive our cars all the time and eat as much as we want and put our thermostats at 72 without thinking that Europe might have a problem with that" to quote Obama. Apparently now we must all take into consideration Europe's opinion whenever we damn need to grab a bite to eat or drive to work....



But the thing is, the people that are going to vote for this guy don't care how stupid he is. They just say everyone else is wrong and that Barrack Obama is God.

Answer 2

Most of you people HAVE NO CLUE about what the situation in Georgia is about and stick your ignorant two cents in. Both candidates are a reflection of the same ignorance in a country where majority of the population fails terribly in world and even US geography.



This region experienced ethnic and religious cleansing for centuries. Russia has been a major stabilizing force then and since the 1992 agreement between Russia and Georgia that provided for russian peacekeeping outposts on the border of South Ossetia and Georgia. Several days ago Georgian military leveled the city of Tskhinvali in South Ossetia with heavy artillery fire (forget about "guided missiles") obviously killing at least hundreds of civilians (the rest of the population fled the city) and killing russian peacekeeping forces. Is the georgian attack considered an ode to democracy and the russian response to control the situation an aggression? Why are we in the US and Europe as well bombarded with "russian aggression" and "attacked democratic country of Georgia with a US educated president" and NOT A WORD about massacre by the georgian military in Tskhinvali? Why?! Are tskhinvalians not worth our attention? Up until the coverage of this conflict I regarded the western media as propaganda free in general. It seems that all major western media outlets went to the same briefing and are just relaying the same story. Unbelievable.

Answer 3

McCain is a bald faced liar here. What's happened in a nutshell: Georgia has a large population of Russians living in the north central part of the country which has carried on an intermittent war for the last 15 years. Georgia draws out these rebels for talks of giving a self autonomous region. Gerorgia launches a full scale attack on the largest town in that region. As Georgia has contributed several thousand troops to the "coalition" in Iraq, they expect the USA to back them up and that Russia will stand down.



Russia doesn't go along with what they are supposed to do and quickly overrun half of Georgia. Now, Georgia is crying for USA support.



NO ONE is blaming Georgia for it's unprovoked war nor pressuring their warmonger leaders to step aside as part of getting Russia out of Georgia. It's a joke.

Answer 4

Absolutely! I imagine the rest of the world would LOVE to see Obama as president so they can have some "peace" talks and completely disarm us. Obama is weak and the world sees him as a weak man. McCain is making this issue a top priority while Obama sits on a beach in Hawaii....what a joke!

Answer 5

John McCain knew right away about Putin...and this invasion of Georgia is just one that the Russians will do, because they want to control the world with oil. If they can take over Georgia that has oil and a route with their pipe line where we don't have to depend on Iran's passage to have our oil delivered Russia will control our supply for engery.

I know this isn't a christian forum but please let me point scripture out to you about Russia in case you don't know.

In Ezekiel 38: 1 thru 23 and Ezekiel chapter 39

Tell's how Russia will bring all the Muslim nations against Israel.

Ezekiel 38

mentions Gog and Magog, now Gog is an evil spiritual demon,

Magog is the ancient name for Russia, it says that Gog is the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal...these are the ancient names of the Soviet Union.

It says Persia (Iran) Ethiopia, and Put, Gomer, and beth-togarmah

will come with Russia...

If you have a Bible go to Ezekiel 38 verse 12

""To capture a spoil and to seize and to plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places which are now inhibited and against the people who are gathered from the nations who have acquired cattle and goods who live at the center of the world?.

Notice the last three letters of Spoil> OIL

The waste places was once Israell (it was barren)

The people that were gathered from the nations is Israel.

When they returned and claimed Israel they made it prosperous.

Notice it says "Who sit in the center of the world"

And Jerusalem sits in the center of the the world



This is interesting because this will be the worlds biggest "Friendly Fire"

In verse 21 "And I shall call for a sword against him on My mountains, declares the Lord God,"Every mans sword will be against his brother"

This means God is going to confuse their minds and they will kill each other.

Israel will not have to lift a hand to fight.



Obama and Richardson of New Mexico wants to talk Russia to death,

that is the only way they know how to deal with the enemy.



Kevin S....you would prefer Russia to do to us what they did to Georgia?????

Answer 6

Tend to totally agree with everything but the idiot part . He may be a lot smarter than most of us give him credit for , but he is way to youn in the political game to lead a nation . He would not even speak to troops when he went to Iran because he was there to be seen by world leaders and not with any concern for the troops who really carry the brunt of the war and its repercussions.

Answer 7

Beware of politics who easily address issues learned from Wikipedia on the fly. Senator John McCain, in efforts to look Presidential is about to stumble quickly without recovery. Senator Obama on the other hand; mediates on the issues that warrant the voters attention. Remember America only has one President at a time. Anyone can speak hyperberly without feeling the sting of their action, or hold the nation's better interest at hand at the same time.

Answer 8

Obama cared more about his vacation than the Russian invasion....I doubt that if another 9/11 happens during his presidency that he will cut his vacation short.



McCain didn't do much better.

Answer 9

I hope it was a reality check for many of those who want the lying, racist bigot elected to the Oval Office.



There are troubled times ahead of us so we need a seasoned wise man, John McCain, at the helm...this is no time to be trying a social experiment with an affirmative action candidate!

Answer 10

Bush should keep his mouth shut and stay out of it before he drags us into another war. As for the candidates, they should BOTH keep their mouths shut and let Russia do what they want. How would we feel if Florida broke away for the United States and we attacked to bring them back, and Russia opened its big mouth and told US what to do. That's what happened over there with Georgia. It blatantly broke away from Russia. Bush has a big mouth for somebody who attacked and flopped out in Iraq.

Answer 11

Mccain solid LOLOLOLOLOL. Mcbush all americans support the terrorist regime of Georgia. Yes our puppet government we propped up. Guess what they sponsor terrorist! Oh, but we don't care cause they attacked and killed thousands of Russians? WTF is the matter with you people? I really feel bad for the people here. Mcbush get a clue I'll support Russia.

Answer 12

I think your on track. Not only Russia, but the rest of the non-democratic world is waiting to see if they will have free reign for the next four years.

Answer 13

orchestrated by influence from washington ( bush ,cheney, mccain) to try and give cred to mccain.



mccains answer, confrontation. john mccain would start a war to get elected.



and the facts are georgia started military action first, why ? did they think they could beat russia, don't think so. but a promise for massive help from bush after thousands get killed. yea that sounds like the bush doctrine.

Answer 14

I saw what I expected of "Obama". People, I was not surprised!

Answer 15

as long as they kill there own I do not have a problem and obama is a stooge

Answer 16

my thought is.... people are dying!!!! I wonder when will it end?



just a thought! you did ask!



my thoughts on Obama? he will be assinated by the KKK?
