As the world Turns

This week has brought with it a shift in global awareness. It began with the opening ceremony of the Olympics and that cute China girl that sang (Lip synced)and ended with the military push of Russian Troops in to Georgia, a democratic ally of the US. The story surrounding what many are calling a war i deem more of murderous chess move has been constant. Though it has been played out on CNN our president and government have waited to test the waters of Russian intentions.

This last year i took a course titled "Contemporary Russian Politics in the 21st Century" i read several books on Mr. Putin and the new Russian ideals. it is common knowledge to those educated of aware of Russian and Putin history that Mr. Putin for all his evil intelligence has stated that he wished the USSR was back in place. this being said. Mr Putin and the puppet president Medvedev have played a harsh but excellent chess move.

Knowing that in the past decade the US has sent ex-Military civilians to Georgia in order to train their troops, something Mr. Putin was very pissed off about, and Georgias recent push to join NATO, The Russians have grown very annoyed by their southern neighbor.

An attack against a Nato member is an attack against all members. Thus, after Russia succeeded in lobbying Nato not to allow members such as Georgia, and the Ukraine, they have won a decisive battle in their future foreign policy plans.

And like the soviets said in 1979 when they began their war on Afghanistan, "THEY" were the ones who were attacked. not the smaller democratic nation of Georgia. Lets think things through here. Why would a country with basically no military might wage war on a country at least 20x its size with a military that is arguable one of the largest on the planet?

but the Russians have learned many things since they crossed the Georgia border this past week. They have learned that The good ole US of A could not act. this is just an assumption, perhaps there were threats made against Russia under the table the forced a cease fire, we may never know. Either way, the Western World was made a fool by the Russians and their test of our will to protect an ally. a much smaller ally. and Putin in his genius has gained perhaps all the info he needed on Americas ability or inability to act. i believe that had the Iraq war not have started and perhaps this had happened, maybe a cease fire would have come sooner. Maybe Russia wouldn't have acted so violently against the civilians of a sovereign country. we will never know

We do know that America is Stretched and Russian influence in the caucuses might move from money laundering and organized crime to the illegal attack and overthrowing of their neighboring democratic states. may god be with those who were brutally murdered by the Russian Military. May the US government and its people realize the America we have become and the America we once were. But one does not have to trust its government to be a Patriot, one must only trust its country and our Govt. hasn't only let down its country but it has let down the world and those unable to protect them selves...same goes for you UN. i love u but you just don't get shit done fast enough.
