Why is the media claiming that Russia Attacked When Georgia, along with the U.S. Military advisors

Why is the media lying again? There have been reports for over a month now of a U.S. military buildup there and that Georgia shot down some Russian planes to provoke the whole thing.

Why is the media covering up the truth? There are many credable links on these pages to validate this.

    The United States has had troops in Georgia for years. They are there to train the Georgian Army for exactly what is going on right now. Georgia only shot down the Jets because of the Russian attack in Ossetia. The only media that is lying is the state sponsored Russian media

    Don't trust any media.

    U.S. supports Georgia, because there is some interest in it. I've been to Georgia many times. Georgians are great people. But, their President is an obnoxious politician, who sells his country (currently to the West). Osetia is a country divided into two administrative territories: Northern is in Russia and Southern is in Georgia. Osetians want to be a free country, mostly from Georgia, because it's a long term ethnic conflict. The President of Georgia is playing a bad political game, in which a lot of innocent people die. He should be judged, but unfortunately he is supported by the U.S. So, it sort of complicates things.

    Please do greater effective study ahead of posting issues like this, yet i'm going to respond to in any case. the reason at the back of Russia having a miles stronger style of nukes is by using the fact their nuclear arsenal is far less precise and much less good then the u . s .'s arsenal. After the chilly conflict ended the u . s . and Russia went over strategic hands aims and found out that Russia (u.s.) had concentrated 5-10 missles at anybody u . s . purpose in basic terms incase the others did no longer attain their trip spot or did no longer detonate. the u . s . missles are lots greater good and characteristic a lots bigger accuracy. you in addition to would did no longer think with regard to the u . s .'s stockpile of tacticle nukes. those missles and warheards have amuch small payload, yet are used to take out protection tension installations and launch web pages, previously the Russians can launch their missles. those are loaded onto B-2 Bombers and nuclear subs for stealth delivery. As for the Air tension the u . s . has a bigger air tension and army. in trouble-free terms element is we would desire to constantly get those assests into place to attack Russian aims. would desire to the US/NATO protection tension forces take protection tension strikes against Russia for what they have carried out, in trouble-free terms as a completely final hotel. till all different skill are exhausted protection tension use would desire to be prevented. in spite of the shown fact that Russia has agreed to a quit-fireplace with Georgia so attack could open a conflict. So there could be no reason to deliver forces there to help now. the issue is although is you will desire to be waiting to land floor forces to help Georgia, some thing it rather is very annoying once you haven't any longer any bases interior the section. a lot of human beings don't comprehend the logisics it takes to get protection tension products into place to help in a conflict. Technically the u . s . would desire to deliver forces from Iraq with the aid of Turkey in Georgia, yet then we could distrupt what we are doing in Iraq, yet those could probably be the closest conflict waiting floor forces.

    The media may not be lying but they obviously distort or omit the truth of some events. What are the US troops doing in Georgia if not to provoke the Russians. In my opinion, the Georgians started the war, let them end it, I am not going to die for someone who started bullying another country and who is now getting the worse out of it.

    Jim is Right...

    Here is the most credible American Magazine out there stating that Georgia invaded South Ossetia, and Russia came to defend South Ossetia.

    No that's not correct. First our advisors left a month ago. Second if Russia sent one of there fighters into Georgian airspace, than Georgia has the absolute right to shot them down.

    >The Georgian people are sovereign over their own lands

    Ha, sovereign. So thats why they are killing civilian people now? I'm gettin better from this words.

    It's the Russians who cannot get it through their heads that the Soviet Union is dead

    the bottom article is far from a credible link (his site makes him look like a crackpot at least). The upper article(s) actually claim(s) that Russia is the Aggressor and states that the US has some military in an ALLIED nation to help train their troops.

    Try again.

    You've got it precisely backwards. The Georgian people are sovereign over their own lands, and are free to invite whoever they like into their country to conduct military training exercises. It's the Russians who cannot get it through their heads that the Soviet Union is dead, and Russia is no longer in charge of what happens in its former conquered territories.
