Isn't this the exact opposite of what Joe Biden meant when he said he wanted to help the Georgian military get up to NATO standards. Are they just going to tell them what kind of things to purchase? Did Joe Biden-the king of the gaff-mean they're going to make the Georgians a shopping list and then translate the instructions for them, or, are they going to have another country arm the Georgians, show them how to use them and then drop in all their lawless private security companies that already ran destabilization missions in Iraq to great success in the early days of the war, to give the west any reason to occupy territory in the Caucuses and push Russia from talking sanctions to moving troops. The media in the west will convince all the sheep that "we" have to save the poor people of Georgia from the "same old over reaching Russia, look what happened to Afghanistan when we didn't go kick ass when Bin Laden was or pal". If Israel does most of the heavy lifting in Iran-seemingly authorized in public by Biden-that leaves either Russia or China as the next spots on the Risk board-and with the increased rhetoric about what the US ISN'T going to do to help Georgia-it seems like the globalists have chosen Russia next. Please know some of us in the west do know what is really happening and try to educate our fellow citizens, but its like trying to milk a male cat-between the celebrity worship, reality tv, gmo food, fluoride and vaccines it's always an uphill battle. If it comes down to it-remember Stalingrad and RESIST

It is too bad that Georgia will not be supplied any advanced weapons. Georgian army has very few anti-armor and anti-air weapons. Therefore, Georgia is very vulnerable to another invasion. Too bad. But Russia is going downhill anyway. Russia will pull out its troops from Abkhazia and South Ossetia sooner or later, just like they did pull out from Afghanistan and East Germany. Today Russia may seem very strong, but it is rusting and ailing. With time, Russia will get only weaker, not stronger. Russians fail to see that while they try to rob Georgia and Ukraine, they are slowly but steadily losing Far East to China, North Caucasus to radical Islam, Russian population to alcohol, tuberculosis and AIDS, Russian economy to severe oil-addiction, and Russian freedom to Putinism. Russians scream that their enemies are Saakashvili, Yushenko, Bush, USA, the West, democracy, NATO, EU, immigrants, middle-Asians, Caucasians, Ruso-phobes, Jews, Zionists, Masons and many others. The reality is Russians themselves are enemies of Russia. With Russian internal and international policies, Russia makes enemies inside (minorities) and outside (neighboring countries).

We don't need to get too worried about Gerogia, it is just a small pretty insignificant place on the world stage (even smaller after last year). We polished them off pretty quickly in a matter of days, sending them scattering and running in pick-up trucks. This all done in reactionary mode which traditionally is more of a military risk and challenge Sometimes these small states are given too much credance and attention. Georgia as Georgia, without US or NATO bases, is nothing even to be remotely concerned about, their government and economy is in a total mess, with the people in open revolt against the Saakashvilli regime. Basically Georgia is nosediving into a stone age abyss. This whilst Russia gets stronger and strionger both militarily, economically and politically. Russia just needs realise the reality of Georgia as a lame, defunct, collapsing national entity who on its own represents absolutely no threat at all. The danger of Georgia is US and NATO terrorist training camps and bases. Being firm in preventing and eradicating these is the only concern Russia should have with regard to an ailing, pitiful Georgia.

Ha! HA! Does anyone know the game of chess? In chess there's take an enemy, leave an enemy or a compromise. In the case of Georgia and US military supplies, it would mean Iran would gert its advance Russian anti aircraft missile batteries, that can shoot down Isreali and American jets. So far, American bases are attempting to surround Iran. If Iran doea have a nuclear device, or gets one, that will thwart America's attempt at hegemony in the Middleast. However, Americans can't ever afford to go to war with Russia, or make them angry to start suppling Al Q or Taliban insurgents over miscalculating the Russian resolve. Won't re-arm Georgia! America can't re-arm Georgia!

How can you print such a lie. America has hundred ways to procure armaments to Georgia, Ukraine, Poland and many other corrupted states using all their prostitutes politicians or businessmen, who are respected notorieties all over the West. NATO's countries or other states' organisations can cover-up that shame, like others. on his war trail against mankind-mediocrity. Sorry Future Generations... Jean-Claude Meslin
