Russia has invaded Georgia

Sometime this morning Russian tanks and planes entered into Georgia. Russia is claiming that it is intervening with some genocide that's been apparently happening and the Georgian President has announced that their country is under attack. If you look back at the history between Russia and Georgia you will simply see Russia flexing it's muscles at it's pro-American pro-NATO former satellite.


Not good news at all.

that makes no sense, Canada will never join in a war they are not concerned in. Europe has nothing to do in this either. And China has more important thing to do than fight a war.

It just comes to see how everyone ops for violence instead of talking it out. The world sickens me.

Not Georgia the state, there's a country called Georgia.
Unless Russia decided to invade US soil, and we're ignoring our own pleas for help.

Haha, I laughed.

But yeah, this could be no good. This might spark other breakaway regions to join in against Russia, and we could see this quickly spread and get worse.

Maybe they are just sending all the emos into battle as a way to get rid of them in a constructive way.

Well, maybe shitty spying.  But really, it'd be much more effective to just spy with satellites.  Having bombers fly these missions is a) training for the Russian air force and b) a sign to the world that Russia is once again in the financial position to maintain an operable, proficient military.  It doesn't mean they're gearing up for war with anybody, especially the UK and US.

Seriously, though, this isn't a big deal.  All it means is that the Russians can now afford to fly missions again - and it's pretty sweet for British and American fighter pilots...I hope I get to intercept a Bear someday.

I didn't say I want to shoot at one, just intercept one.  It would be sweet.

Too bad Georgia started the violence.... If they wouldnt have attacked South Ossentia then Russia wouldnt have intervened and kicked their ass. Georgia pretty much picked a fight they can't win. Georgia just wanted to win back South Ossentia, when in reality the people there want to be annexed into Russia. If anything, most of the fault lies with Georgia, not Russia.
