Believe me.....

The US can engage another combatant if needed. Former Sec. of Defense Rumsfeld worked diligently to create a military force that can fight TWO major conflicts (east and west coasts) simultaneously, and the spending for military armaments in the last six years are telling. I am on the West Coast, and believe me, something is here. Most of this is available on the internet.

last I checked USA have been in Afghanistan for 7 years and it is still not under control and that is with the help of Afghan troops.

This "my dad is better than your dad" argument is getting really old, everybody get out of the sandbox and into your corner.

Everybody should stop defending their country as we are all just a number to them, little pawns in a game that we know nothing about.

It was Georgia that started the attack. Agression was made by the Georgian army first. The reason of this conflict is the weapon deal of Israel to Georgia. It’s like Russia sells many sophisticated weapons and military installation in Mexico.

Like I stated last weekend, Russia will leave when they get ready.

The United States will.......will do what?

Russia will just go to China and Venezuela and other countries to get from them what they don't get from the United States.

We're going to do what to Russia?

Russia is right where they want to be. And they will be holding on to it for...well till they get ready to leave. Not until then. < :-)

adaydream; With respect, Russia will leave when the pressure is so strong from the US, that it has no other option. Russia will leave under our terms, not theirs, and they know it.

We'll see FreedomFries. I wouldn't bet on their soon departure.

What pressure can the US put on China? < :-)

My bust Freedom Fries. What pressure can the US put on Russia. < :-)
FreedomFries at 03:42 AM JST - 25th August

adaydream; The US can pressure Russia by threatening to put military hardware on Russian borders. We can put a ring of steel around western Russian to ensure a repeat does not occur. Sure, it is going to cast money, and i would be wiling to pay more tax to ensure another Soviet block never happens again.

FreedomFries - We've already got big plans to put more military hardware on the border. The new agreements between the US and Poland and the Czech Rep. And this has just pissed them off. There is Isreal giving aid to Georgia and that has pissed them off. (Pissed me off also, I don't want to give Isreal money anyway, then they give our money to Georgia. That's not why we gave it to them.)

Steel ring, huh? You mean like the Iron Curtain? That didn't work before. So what country do we go to to put our weapons into next?

I'm not for putting all our money into weapons to push Russia. There is health aid at home. There is our national debt. There is the highest rate of unemployment we've seen in decades. Factories going under. The energy crisis. We have too many things at home to put all our money into weapons systems that may or may not agitate Russia enough to attack someone else.

We used to play friendly and we had much better relations with the world. The last few years we've played bully on the block and it's gotten us...._____WHAT______? < :-)

adaydream- Don`t worry buddy, our economy is doing mighty fine. A few conspiracy theory types talk about a doom and gloom futre. It is not going to happen.

We should annoy the Russians, the threat of forcr, i sthe only method of diplomacy they understand. With the knowledge that the US could blow them off the map at anytime, they dare not colonise their neighbours again.
adaydream at 04:08 AM JST - 25th August

Well FreedomFries - Wait a little while and I'll ask you again about this. You're cowboy mentality is what got us here. So I pray that we don't follow your path of thinking.

Have a good day. < :-)

Almost 3 weeks and the real imperialists in this world still getting a free pass from the Left...
SuperLib at 11:08 AM JST - 25th August

Sorry daydream but Russia isn't going to control countries like Georgia no matter how much you want them to.
undecidedbout08 at 12:17 PM JST - 25th August

Go on, daydream, explain how Russia's unqualified support for Mugabe and Iran is also a result of US policy in the Baltic and E Europe...

The Russians will stay in Georgia until Saskashvili is replaced by a more pro Russian president. Saskashivili overplayed is hand, and the hysterical screaming of the NATO and the EU is pure hypocricy. Where was their respect for national integrity when they brutalized Serbia?
