But why would Joos be pro-Georgian?

Re: Georgian-South Ossetian conflict

the media here are utterly repulsive. "invasion", "russian aggression"..
truelly one of the funniest/ironic statements ive ever seen comes Saakashvili as he pleads for help
" its not about Georgia..its about the basic values the west has..the basic values the US has always preached us"

anyway most reports are now proclaiming the Russians have total control of S.O

and spot on HayotzAmrotz.. if it was any other 'non-demecratic' leader, they would it be at the ICJ or ICC facing charges against humanity. lets hope the Russians dish own their own brand of justice

Here's another US media beauty:

Georgia: Russia enters into 'war' in South Ossetia

Over 1,300 people are reported dead after Russian forces responded to a Georgian attack on rebels in the breakaway province of South Ossetia by mounting a full scale invasion.

There making it sound as if the Russians killed the 1300 souls when in fact, it was the Christian-Turk Georgians are responsible.

Who controls the media again?

Abkhasia starts war with Georgia

source: http://russiatoday.com/news/news/28706

Armed forces belonging to Georgia’s breakaway republic of Abkhazia have begun an operation to force Georgian troops out of the upper part of the Kodori gorge. Abkhazia have used artillery and air strikes against Georgian troops in the gorge.

Thousands of Russians are on holiday in the picturesque republic with the long coastline. They fear a conflict could result in innocent blood being spilled.

But RT correspondent Aleksandr Luchaninov says Russians are not ready to leave the area just yet.

"Those I spoke to said they are very concerned, and in case of trouble they are prepared to leave the region immediately," he said.

For several days Georgian troops have been amassing on the border.

Abkhasia's president, Sergey Bagapsh, said the breakaway republic’s troops are in contact with the peacekeeping forces in the region.

The atmosphere in the capital Sukhumi is tense, and officials are anticipating Georgian aggression.

"Today it's South Ossetia, tomorrow it might be Abkhasia," said Bagapsh, explaining his decision to move the troops.

Developing Story

At least 2,000 people have died in Tskhinvali in South Ossetia, and the Georgian city has been destroyed, a Russian ambassador tells Interfax.

****************

Saakashvili is a traitor to his people and should be treated as such! He started this war and now has left them high and dry to fend for themselves! This coward should be captured by Moscow and executed on national television!

US just never thought that Russia would "dare" to counter attack Georgia itself and with such intensity and vigour.

I read in a reuters article where a US military official speaking on condition of anonymity said that they were surprised by the speed and the intensity of the Russian intervention.

If that is true, then this was certainly orchestrated in Washington. As Armenian said in another thread, the Kremlin better get this one right.

A ceasefire, in my opinion, cannot be given to Georgia at the moment. A condition for ceasefire has to be humiliating for Georgia and her "friends". At the very least, Georgia cannot get away with just decimating Tskhinvalli, and calling it a day. Their airfields and sea-ports have to be destroyed.

It would be absolutely fantastic if they capture Sakashvilli and set up a kangaroo court in Moscow calling it the "International Criminal Court for the former Georgia."

What's going to happen is Russia's going to bomb too close to the BTC pipeline and Turkey's going to get pissed off. Well good, I hope the Turks get their asses handed to them.

I'd rather see Turkey get completely bombed out than Georgia any day of the week. At least Georgia is semi-friendly to Armenia.

If Turkey get's involved it's time to go to Van what do you guys think.

Re: Georgian-South Ossetian conflict

The question is: why hasn't Georgia surrendered already? Saakashvili knows he can't possibly hold off the Russians for much longer. I think he's trying to get other countries to sympathize with his (self-created) "situation". He's waiting for the Western calvary to arrive and protect "freedom and democracy".
