Russia, Georgia eye enclave

Russia is defending its interests just as much as the United States. Learning the history a bit deeper would help everyone understand that Abkhaz people deserve independence far more than Kosovars, yet, if it's administered by the U.S. it's "democratic" and right, otherwise it's separatist, totalitarian, etc. etc. The policy of double-standards is deplorable.

Good for Russia, it's time it stood up to NATO, especially in light of illegal recognition of Kosovo as an independent country. The U.S. is out of control in this world and we need a strong Russia to oppose U.S. foreign policy. We already see that Obama sides 100% with Israel, which means 4 more years of conflict and murder/ethnic cleansing for the Palestinians. Thank god G.W. has broken our war machine and put us into debt (to the Russians, China, Saudia Arabia, and India)...now flush with cash, military contracts, and strong alliances, it is time for Russia to step in and call NATO's bluff. While they are at it, I hope they kick the $#@$ out of Solana, Shaakashvili, Thaci in the process! They should be in the Hauge, not Serbians.

But what about the Georgians who were ethnically cleansed out of their homes where their families had lived for centuries? I am horrified by the paragraph where it describes Russians coming to buy property. That property belonged to someone who fled for their life. What are you going to do about that?

Nino...what about the Serbians killed, kicked out, and raped in Kosovo...the reward? Take their country.

What about the Palestinians that have been struggling for years under Israeli genocide of their people? Literally running them over with tanks and dropping bombs on their heads.

Seems like NATO (in all actuallity the U.S) has double standards. Russia is calling them out.

It's a good time too, because the U.S. is getting wasted by two groups that they supported, the Iraqis and the Taliban.

Guess if you arm those people and cause war and strife...you should expect to pay sooner or later.

Strange to read so sound commets from american readers. I'm from Russia and I expected to see different forms of russophobia here. I've been to Abkhazia in 1999. Just believe - local people will not live with georgians for at least 50-70 years. It was georgians who came with arms. Ethnic cleansing was started by georgians. Besides, it was Stalin(ethnic geogian) who authorized migration from Georgia to Abkhazia. Do not truts in what your newspapers say only.

I totally agree with Leonid. It's very strange to see these comments from Americans.
It's oppositely with Russians how very rarely can show opinion which can be bad for their country and in same time be true.
As for me I don't like Russia steps in this conflict. But we must do it in result of independent of Kosovo.
Mostly, I think Abkhazia must be independent. But Russia wants to include it in her territory.
We have so many problems. We really don't need one more Kavkaz conflict.

Dear Nino, i understand your concern about georgians who were kicked out from their houses and had to leave the country. But listen, whom do you blame? Maybe the question should be addressed to Mr. Shevarnadze, your former leader? And what about us, abkhazians,who lost our best part of youth in that war?

what if Russia and America just f@#% themselves and leave other countries alone? How does this sound?

GOOD

will there ever be peace in Caucasus? what the hell this big countries want? they spread the virus and later they pretend to be the doctors.

Abkhazia is the Georgian historical region!!!
And these Abkhazians aren't realy Abkazians, in history and genealogy Abkhazians are Gerogians!!!

The Georgian International territory is recognised by the International community. Abkhazis is in Georgia, and should stay so. Ethnic cleaning of one country does not make a case. There should not be such a thing. However Russia is trying to expand under its old USSR dreams. The sooner Russia concentrates on its own internal problems the better. I say Russia leave Georgian land for once and for all.Then peace can prevail and if Abkhasis dont like it they can leave of their own free will. georgia has almost guareanteed semi independance.

Georgia can guarantee semi independence? LOL. Georgia is the least country we will join. There is no democracy, no freedom. And after all these explosions in Abkhazia, you are terrorists as well! Cheers
