It’s war! And we have already lost it in something...

The war in South Ossetia has clearly showed us several things: first, finally the Russian Government has a will. It could be questionable then for how long this will could last? Heaven forbid us from repeating the Chechen plot of the first war, when the politicians were playing war games without letting the army make its work professionally and with dignity. It is very desirable that the rhetoric would not differ from the actions, moreover now all the possibilities are present. It is obvious that the truth is on our side and that we have defend the weak, and the aggression of Georgia looks disgusting. I would note that it strangely looks like our internal attitude towards the Georgian criminals in our country, where everything is allowed by them. For some reason we fight against Georgian aggression in South Ossetia but in our own country we let them earn money in the black market in the same aggressive manner as always, part of the profit of which is to be sent to their native land and to support the criminal regime of Saakashvili. It seems that consistency is needed in this question too. I speak exclusively of those making illegal business and performing criminal activity.
With great sorrow I have to state that we completely lost the information war. What they say of us abroad is terrifying. Saakashvili can be seen everywhere strongly resembling Hitler, tossing himself around, with a puckered mouth and with an idiot fringe, crying that Russia started aggression against Georgia. Yet, not a word is said that the Georgians first destroyed Tskhinvali and shot civilians and peace-makers. I do not even mention that Saakashvili has to be judged by the Hague Tribunal as an international criminal for the use of heavy artillery and "GRAD" multiple rocket launchers being used against living quarters. This is, for those who do not know, that "GRAD" launchers cover whole districts in their power. This weapon cannot "find out" who is right and who is guilty, and when the military hostilities destroy the whole network existing on a huge area (not only military facilities but the living quarters as well), it becomes clear that Saakashvili had a purpose to destroy the Ossetian people physically, and he succeeded in this killing by 2000 people in 1 day. If the European community judges Karadjich for genocide, so, obviously, Saakashvili has to be next in line.
Still, I, as a professional, have a question with the authorities: so much money was spent to make a so-called positive presentation of Russia abroad. A not-so-bad channel called Russia Today was created, the quantity of monies used was bigger than needed, but what is the result? Isn’t it clear that Russia Today alone is not enough to cover truthfully the events in order to create a positive image of Russia? Why? Surely there are guys with a good command of English, and talented speakers. But no, nobody hears them. The speakers of Georgia are seen everywhere but those shown from our side are not… Yes, Lavrov is good, Medvedev and Putin are good as well, naturally, but there is nobody else. Nobody!
I called my friends, who are waiting to be sent to Ossetia, they are dashing guys, with chests covered in decorations… I asked them to take care of themselves. Because they do their work, there is no doubt, but I want them to come back alive. The guys from the very 45th regiment are already there, the regiment that became notorious after the case of Kholodov. But nobody knows their real professional abilities. The specialists know. But the wider audience has no clear vision. They work bravely there. Interestingly, have you ever been told the truth about the performance of our soldiers? And they have what there is to be proud of… And to be proud of those people who survived these shots and did not surrender in Tskhinvali. Here are the real heroes!! Not «Dima Bilans», and not football and hockey players, but these men and women who woke up at night as the war came into their homes.

I wake up each morning in the hope that this nightmare is over. However, the war just continues and gathers steam. Now the first conclusions can at last be made. Firstly, Georgia has been preparing for this situation for a long time and these preparations have not been made by Georgia alone. It is clear that it was supported by the most reactionary circles of today’s governing elite in American. This is because as a result of this military aggression it is the Republicans who win, represented by candidate McKein, who managed to not only catch up with Obama but to be in advance of him. Thus, thanks to the heating up of the international situation by Georgia, the hawks are winning. That is why American as an acting power has invested so much money in Georgia.
I should mention that the salaries of Georgian ministers are paid from foreign funds, that 127 American instructors function in Georgia and that 800 Georgian soldiers are being relocated now from Iraq by American Air Forces together with their necessary military equipment and other military cargo. Involved in this there is not the slightest doubt as to the role of Condoliza Rise. She was a constant supporter of Saakashvili’s political ambitions, she visited Tbilisi shortly before the invasion of North Ossetia and she was the first renowned politician to condemn Russia unambiguously. Additionally, the rest of the American political establishment is not so radical as Condoliza and the followers of the "hawk" policy. It is clear why America needs this – they have to solve their modest political questions.
Still, does it mean that the Americans will go to the end in this war, 100 % on the side of Georgia and will start a war with Russia? Hardly. As the Cubans have already shown their support for Russia and it is clear that in a short period of time many Latin American countries may also show their support too. The attitude of Europe is split: France, Italy, Germany and even the UK now have started to say that the role of Saakashvili is not as unambiguous at all and that there was genocide against the Ossetian people. It must be taken into consideration that the situation in Iran is very important to the Americans, and that the Americans will not be able to solve the Iranian problem without the unambiguous position of Russia. So, most likely, it’s not only a possibility of a political victory at the elections for them, but if you wish, an attempt to force Russia to reconsider its position with regard to the Iranian problem. For those who could find my considerations a bit far-fetched, I would like to remind them of the story of the Falkland conflict when the rise in itself of this conflict helped the English conservatives keep power, so a small victorious war is not a discovery, though it does not always work in favor of the powers that be and their chiefs. For instance, Bush Senior was not able to gain re-election after the war in Iraq.
So what did the American instructors teach the Georgian army? Today I have spoken to a friend of mine, who is there (he is from the Special Forces and has seen a lot). He wonders what has happened to the Georgians, as they did not take prisoners: in Ossetia they finished off the elderly people, as well as women and children with control shots. When the Georgian army destroys two thousand people, taking into account that that the total population of South Ossetia is 60 thousand people, you can evidently agree with the words of Dmitry Rogozin, stating that Saakashvili is interested in Georgian land only, and not in the population of autonomous republics. The task of Saakashvili is to free the Georgian land from everyone who is not an ethnic Georgian. It becomes clear what would be the destiny of the people of Abkhazia should the Russians not interfere there. In two-three weeks the existence of the Ossetian population on the territory of the South Ossetia could have been forgotten already. For during the short time of the presence of the Georgian army in Ossetia 5 villages, and the city of Tskhinval were destroyed, and two thousand civilians were killed. The American instructors acted as the chiefs of the Zonder troops. If it was exactly what the Georgian army was taught, so even the SS-men could envy their proficiency. I would like to point out the remarkable resemblance of Saakashvili to Hitler in his phlegmatic rhetoric and impassioned efforts to manipulate the general public opinion.
One single and important thing to be taken into consideration is the role of the Americans in guiding Georgian artillery, aviation and other military facilities to Russian targets. Obviously, the Americans use their navigation and radiolocation space facilities to provide the Georgian side with this information. Still, it could hardly help the Georgians now, though, undoubtedly the Georgian army became a battle worthy one, but certainly, no intelligence is needed to fight against the elderly and children. The Russian Army fights in a different way, the Russian Army fights in "white gloves" , not allowing itself to target innocent civilians in its attacks. That is why no western mass-media, nor Saakashvili, are able to claim for civil victims: what we were able to do in Ossetia, sorrowfully is to only show the results of the genocide in Georgia. The Russian army finely processes with its military targets. Unfortunately bombs can miss their targets, but there is no question of using Multiple rocket launchers on living quarters. We can see that the Russian army bombed the take-off runways that were used for planes going to bomb in South Ossetia, we destroyed radiolocation installations, batteries and other military facilities, and that is true. This is how all modern armies fight now, including the Americans and Israelis as well: minimal losses, and pinpoint attacks. I repeat - no living quarters have been affected. Look at how brilliantly our fleet performed: we were attacked by 4 rocket boats, used defensive fire, sank one vessel and the rest went away. What more could be wished for? Finally, our army fights and shows dignity, and our soldiers became the soldier – a liberator defending a brotherhood Christian and not only Christians but even Muslim people.
Still, what is most surprising: the war in the Caucasus (and there are so many representatives of different nationalities and religions living there) is going on between only orthodox people, between the Georgians and the Ossetians (the Armenians are Christian but they are not orthodox). Despite this, Saakashvili did not think of it for a single moment. The flag of Georgia is behind him, the flag of the European Union is behind him. Yet look, there is no priest, no icon and even not a single appeal to the notions that are sacred to Christians. Sure, Sakashvili is a typical representative of the generation that has lost its native land, and has found nothing in exchange. Not dumb, but absolutely pragmatic, the are Ivans that have forgotten their relatives, who have betrayed all that made the glory and magnificence of the Georgian people. No use in arguing with Vladimir Putin, who stated very sharply that it is impossible to imagine now how the Abkhaz, Ossetian and Georgian people will live in a united family of brotherhood. For generations the slaughter will remain in the memory of the Ossetians. Such things could not be forgotten or excused. Look at the relations between the Armenian and Turkish people, and more than 100 years have passed since that genocide took place. So what is surprising now, when just a few weeks have passed, and the emotional heat is so huge? Obviously, Georgia has been split for years, and the destiny of this military conflict and its end are not important. Conclusively, the co-existence of Abkhaz, Georgians and Ossetians is now impossible for centuries.
I am worried by the intake of countries into a third world war. In fact everything starts with seemingly insignificant local conflicts. For whom may they seem insignificant? For those who watch television – yes, but for those who wake up under bombing runs – certainly not. If this confrontation will grow to be a third world war, its consequences will be horrifying for the whole planet. I would like to remind the "hot-heads" that Russia possesses nuclear weapons and heaven forbid the using of them by one of the countries for any reason. Further reactions will then be hard to stop. The Earth will cease in its existence, and everybody has to know this. In particular, such "wise men" as Saakashvili have to, those who thought that the blitzkrieg will help to solve all their problems. Still, please note no blitzkrieg can ever win over the people, not any. One would think that for 10 years the Americans have taught the Georgian Army, and invested tons of money ($1 billon - only in the last year), but the whole power of the Georgian army could not defeat Ossetia in 10 hours, which is incomparably poor in military forces. It is impossible to defeat the people fighting for their land. To destroy – yes, but to defeat – never.
The last remark, in regard to the reason why Russia could not respond at once within several hours. The international community has always treated Russia by more than triple standards. We had to accomplish all formalities: an application to the Security Council and the carrying out of necessary internal measures, and only upon this there could be made a precise reasonable response. So there cannot be any claims against President Medvdev or the Russian military forces. They performed sharply and with dignity. If we would not react to the situation, if the "neighbors" would understand that they could behave in such a manner, so in this case, I think, the existence of Russia in itself soon could have been brought to doubt. The exterior "parts" would have been torn from us.
I would like to note that we never said that Abkhazia or South Ossetia do not form part of Georgia. We never said that. But we have always said that the example given by Americans to the whole world by acknowledging the independence of Kosovo will echo with a lot of blood in the Caucasus. And I was the one of those saying so. With the deep regret I state that I was right. We all pay now for the double standards of the world politicians and for the foolishness, I could even say, a meanness of today’s political administration in America. For the weakness and a dumb anti-Russian attitude of new European countries, the so-called "new democrats" for whom white is black and black is white.
Then to hear what our Ukrainian brothers are saying was particularly offending. Could it be true that they lost their mind like Bush who in spite of the previous history of the American behavior, has stated that none of the countries is allowed to bomb the territory of any other country. Hearing it to the lips of an American president is particularly cynical. Just like the control shots to the heads of an Ossetian woman, which were supervised by an American instructor.
Once more thing I would like to attract your attention to is the blog of my friend Shota Gorgadze (http://blogs.mail.ru/mail/grant-pravo/). You cannot imagine what meanness he gets from the people who, in spite of living in Russia, have a point of duty to shit on this country, And they bear a passport of a Russian citizen in their pockets. Shame on them! Decide: if you feel that you are on Saakashvili’s side it is better to return your passport and go to some other native land. And if you understand that the people are not guilty for the meanness of their governors, then behave yourself, with the dignity of true Russian citizens.
