Obviously, the Azerbaijani's can't handle the truth, as it would not show their Georgian buddies in a good light, but show them to be the invaders they really were, with the funding, arming, taining and the blessings of the wonderful west.

Invaders? How can someone invade his own territory? S.Ossetia and Abkhazia are still a part of Georgia as they always used to be.

Well, it certainly can't be more of a flop than that Andy Garcia fiasco was in America. I think they showed it in one art theater in Manhattan and at the Georgian Embassy and then it fell off the face of the earth, where it belongs. I guess it was too much propaganda even for us to stomach.

Ossetia won its independence in a bloody civil war in the 1990's.

Too bad Georgia didn't see fit to recognize it then. It'd have saved them much trouble.

I feel deeply surprised when I hear people to call South Ossetia and Abkhazia to be a part of Georgia. It's a LIE. First, Georgians tried to occupy two independent republics. Second, even if we suppose that these lands are Georgia, do you wanna persuade me that the use of MLRS against YOUR civils is a democratic and humane measure?! It's real fascism.
The fact is that Russians just showed the truth about this conflict. So, the refusal to show this film – is just somebody's painful butthurt. Also it's pretty silly...when the film was prohibited in Ukraine it immediately became one of the top downloads on torrent trackers... Thus, August was watched by enormous quantity of people.

Russians and truth, that's an oxymoron. South Ossetia and Abhkazia are not independent except in the eyes of four despotic countries, Russians were the agressors who had no right to invade a sovereign nation. China, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Belarus, none of those countries recognise those two Georgian provinces as independent, that proves beyond doubt that Russians were in the wrong.

Stupid fart brain, you remind me of the dimwit that went to atlantic city one weekend and rolled a seven, then mortgaged his house for betting money because he was sure it was proof that dice always roll sevens.

We recognize any region as independent that has fought a protracted and bloody civil war with its overseers.

Except Georgia. That's an exception. Don't ask us why, that's just the way it is. Maybe it's because it was a Stalin edict? We love his edicts, they're so edictive. ;-)

Russians always lie through their teeth. Never trust a Russian. It's a genetic flaw. Americans never lie and they all go to Sunday School, even the ones who shoot people at random for kicks. They're just misunderstood and under a lot of strain. They just need love.

The Russians, on the other hand, celebrate Thanksgiving by gobbling up their neighbors' arts, culture and language and then their land and deport everyone to gulags or burial pits. They're like that old movie 'The Blob'. What more proof do you need?

In 1999 I awoke to a barrage of news reports accompanied by an undeclared air war that turned out later to be deceptive, incomplete, hugely exaggerated and in many cases outright false. It was then and there that I understood what it must have been like to live in the Soviet Union and read Pravda every day.

Needless to say, it was a rude awakening to the limits of our Machiavellian media.

Yes, there does exist American propaganda, by both government and media and sometimes in spades, I'm ashamed to say.

Now go away, you simpleton. You've been banned from the world of free thinkers.

No I don't, but Americans don't usually make such a great effort to point it out to the World, while blindly defending a country which they claim to have no links with.

Nothing you have experienced in America compares with life in the Soviet Union.

Daily Horoscope for May 21

Libra

Look after yourself today, dear Libra, because you don't have as much energy and self-confidence as usual. In fact, your spirits may be trailing around your ankles, making you feel wretched and listless. A pessimistic mood certainly won't help you cheer up, and you may be feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities or other people's problems. The fact is that you've got things out of proportion, but you'll feel better about them soon.
