I see the cold war rachet being tightened more and more every day. < :-)

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin lashed out at the United States for using military ships to deliver humanitarian aid to Georgia.

Maybe Russia should deliver needed humanitarian aid to Gaza with military ships.

Georgia slashed its embassy staff in Moscow to protest...

That will certainly teach them a lesson. I'm sure Russia now regrets its actions!

I certainly hope people remember Field Marshall Montgomery's 3 Rules of Warfare.

Russian Col Gen Anatoly Nogovitsyn warned that NATO has already exhausted the number of forces it can have in the Black Sea, according to international agreements, and warned Western nations against sending more ships.

International agreements? Did he say that? Momentarily speaking from a different orifice? Would seem to me the first party to violate international agreements was Russia by doing a repeat of Hungary, Romania and the like invasions with a massive show and use of unnecessary force, meddling in internal affairs of sovereign states.

My interests are more narrow, but very relevant. Just keep that mess over there, economic development over here on the Pacific side is enough to work on. However, the APEC Forum in Peru this year should be interesting. I am elated that the Russian Federation is a capitalistic economy, and APEC would benefit from all that oil, since the G-8 is unsettled.

Russia’s agriculture minister said Moscow could cut poultry and pork import quotas by hundreds of thousands of tons, hitting American producers hard and thereby raising prices for American shoppers.

If you'd written taxpayers instead of shoppers, I could understand - but like this?

The Russian move followed a Georgian crackdown on the pro-Russian South Ossetia.

Crackdown? JT, why this belittlement?

Miliband looked like Mr. Bean giving that speech. Putin nailed the truth right on the head: http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/08/28/russia.georgia.cold.war/index.html Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused the United States of orchestrating the conflict in Georgia to benefit one of its presidential election candidates. The United States orchestrated this on behalf of a political candidate, McCain. Actually, it was NOT the US who did this. All the evidence points to Israel, especially in the Israeli media, where they've admitted it! Well, THAT backfired, didn't it!
