So are the Ossetians (as you can see), and it is their opinion -- and only theirs -- that matters here!

Want to see what Georgia did there and why the South Ossetians are so happy?
Go HERE to see photographs (warning, graphic).

You would be happy, too, if Russia came to your aid, right, 'murkn?
MOSCOW - President Dmitry Medvedev recognized the independence of two breakaway regions of Georgia yesterday and called on other nations to do the same, escalating what has become one of the most serious conflicts between Russia and the United States since the end of the Cold War.
Medvedev also promised a military response to US plans to install a missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic, the Associated Press reported.
Well, I'm not going to comment on the anti-Russian bias of the Zionist AmeriKan MSM today, readers.
You know what it is, and know when you see it now!
In a statement broadcast live on national television, Medvedev said he signed decrees recognizing South Ossetia and Abkhazia because it was the "only way to protect people's lives." He said Russia had tried for years to resolve the ethnic conflict between Georgia and the two provinces through peaceful negotiations but Georgia's pro-Western president, Mikheil Saakashvili, made a negotiated settlement impossible by trying to seize South Ossetia by military force and killing its residents.
That is the TRUTH!! I'm sorry, Americans, but the RUSSIANS are speaking TRUTH and your government is LYING AGAIN!!!!
The Georgian government "made its choice in the early hours of Aug. 8," he said, referring to a military operation launched by Saakashvili to try to quell a separatist movement in South Ossetia. The move prompted a Russian incursion deep into Georgian territory.
I'm amazed they called the Russian move an "incursion."
They usually save that to only describe western or Israeli invasions.
And WHAT "separatist" movement?
Things were status-quo until GEORGIA INVADED!!!
In a written statement issued at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, President Bush yesterday urged Russia to reconsider its "irresponsible decision" and respect the borders of its Georgian neighbor.
Aaaaah, fuck him! I don't care what that mass-murdering asshole has to say anymore!!!! Maybe you ought to reconsider Iraq, fucker!!!!
The White House also said the United States will use its veto power in the UN Security Council to ensure that the two separatist provinces remain part of Georgia in the eyes of the world.
Well, you can use your UN block, U.S., but as far as the eyes of the world go, WE HAVE SEEN EVERYTHING and we call for INDEPENDENCE for South Ossetia and Abkhazia!!!!
Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama also issued statements condemning Russia's action, saying Moscow should be further isolated from the international community.
McCain, a Republican, said the move "deserves condemnation from the entire international community, and Russia must understand that its violations of international law carry consequences."
Tell it to Iz-ray-HELL, Mac!
In his statement, Obama, a Democrat, said: "The US should lead within the UN and other international forums to cast a clear and unrelenting light on the decision, and to further isolate Russia internationally because of its actions."
No difference between these two controlled clowns!!!! Why even vote?
Russia's unilateral recognition of the separatist provinces over the objections of the United States and Georgia's other Western allies, after a five-day rout of Georgian forces by the vastly larger Russian military, represented a bold reassertion of Moscow's power over a region it considers part of its sphere of influence and that its leaders worry has tilted too far toward the West. The Kremlin has singled out Saakashvili, perhaps the most pro-American political leader in the region, as a menace, and some analysts say Russia's recent moves are aimed at undermining if not toppling him.
And only the U.S. and Israel are allowed to topple governments!
The United States, meanwhile, has tried to buttress his government. US naval ships in the Black Sea are due to begin delivering aid today to the Georgian port of Poti, where Russian troops last week moved in and out at will, sinking Georgian military vessels. Vice President Dick Cheney is scheduled to travel to Georgia next week as part of a trip that will also include stops in two other former Soviet republics, Azerbaijan and Ukraine.
So what dirty shit is Dogshit up to, America?
What FALSE-FLAG is Dogshit helping to arrange?
"This contradicts the basic principles of territorial integrity and is therefore absolutely unacceptable," said Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, who called Medvedev's action a violation of international law, according to a report from the Bloomberg news service.
Then freeze this winter, German tit! Go suck some more Zionist cock!
South Ossetian political leaders treated Medvedev's announcement as a moment of liberation.
"This is a great day for our country and for our people," Eduard Kokoity, president of South Ossetia, said on Russian television. "Russia has saved us from genocide and has granted us the opportunity to develop and live on our own land. We are with Russia without end."
I so agree, and am so happy for them!
Kokoity said his people were prepared for any Georgian reaction. "We know the emotions of the Georgian president," he said. "We will enforce security measures so as to prevent any act of terrorism or sabotage on the part of Georgia. . . . They will try to spoil our holiday as much as they can. We know from the past what kind of provocations by Georgians are possible."
Go HERE to see what they are capable of, readers.
According to wire service reports, Kokoity also proposed placement of a permanent Russian military base in South Ossetia, while the Kremlin announced that it would establish formal diplomatic ties with the two regions and propose "cooperation and friendship treaties."
Sergei Arutyunov, a scholar of the Caucasus region at the Russian Academy of Sciences, said Russian recognition of the breakaway provinces represents a sharp departure from traditional Kremlin policy opposing separatist movements out of a fear of setting a precedent that Russia's own ethnic minorities could use to press for independence.
You, GET THAT, America?!?
This is something the Russians were TRYING TO AVOID! The USraelis forced their hand with the tool Saakashvili!!!!
In addition, he cautioned, the return of Abkhazia and South Ossetia to the Russian sphere of influence may embolden nationalists in Russia to press for the recovery of other former Soviet territories, such as the Crimean region in Ukraine.
Yeah, so the Russians are taking a gamble to SAVE LIVES NOT THEIR OWN!!!!
This is AGAINST their best interests, so it MUST BE on HUMANITARIAN GROUNDS!
On Monday, Russia's parliament unanimously urged Medvedev to recognize the independence of the two breakaway regions. Over the objections of the United States and Georgia's other Western allies, both Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin declared that Moscow was ready to suffer a breakdown in relations with NATO and setbacks in its efforts to join the World Trade Organization.
Yeah, who gives a shit about that globalist crap?
You are DOING the RIGHT THING, Russia!

Update:
"Pravda says US embassy sources in Tbilisi say Shakashvillis fate has been decided, and a US helicopter will take him away, then he can live in the USA. Reuters says US ships will not be docking at Poti. If true it sounds like behind the scenes negotiating; Weapons to Syria, Oil pipelines, recognition, NATO and probably Shevardnadze again.

"There is a long list of statements and military cooperation to show Turkish and German solidarity with NATO,There are also some incongruous happenings; The Turkish President has put a hitherto banned in Turkey documentary on Russian Turkish solidarity on his web site:
And Germany’s Der Speigel has an interview with Ex President of Georgia Shevardnadze, which reads like, ‘wouldn’t he make a wonderful replacement for Shakasvilli’. There is also a report from South Ossetia in Der Speigel showing how S. Ossetia was never really part of Georgia, few people speak Georgian, and (a sympathy arousing) how the brave youth fought the Georgian Tanks with kalashnikovs, and that was after Shakasvilli on August 7th promised peace.
As stated above Merkel is also quoted in Der Speigel as saying Russia will now be punished with possible isolation for recognizing the breakaway territories. Perhaps this was obligatory.
