A Perspective from Russia


There was a comment earlier tonight on one of my other posts that was very interesting. It provides an alternate perspective from Russia. Thank You very much for writing Sergey. I hope this finds you doing well.

The most important thing is that most world news agencies didn't report the real beginning of Georgia attack of Osetia. It was in the Osetian's morning, all Osetian and Russian media reported that, but European and American media kept silence. And then only after that when Georgian peacemaker forces (which were part of Osetian-Russian-Georgian joint force) began to attack their Russian colleagues - simply kill them - only after that this (so familiar from Western media) 'Russian tanks enter Osetia' happened.

I personally hope only for peaceful Osetians leaving for Russian camps (in Russian territory!) and get medical help, food and at least some temporary place to live (which wasn't even promised by Saakashvili to them). Not so important the territory as the lifes of people whiсh are in danger from Geaorgian militarists. In Russia, nobody wants to spend resources and somebody's lifes for war, but we can't tolerate killing our citizens.

Once again, Georgian attack on Osetia began at 0:00 GMT+3 (after Saakashvili's words of negotiations!), i heard first news about that at 7:00 GMT+3 and Russian forces entered Osetia to help peacemakers at 15:00 GMT+3. Saakashvili was really sly to begin war on first day of Olympic games, in the night, when Europe began to sleep.
Can't understand how UN Security Control didn't even make resolution which would appeal for stop to cease fire.


I hope also that the UN and NATO intercede immediately and puts an end to this, for all parties involved.

God Bless America

Absolutely agree with author. I have read many newspapers from USA and Europe, and they only told "Russia tanks come in Georgia".

But why are the russian tanks in Georgia? - To protect osetia from Georgia aggression. Nothing about it in world news agency.

I have also heard that Georgia TV do not translate russian tv. Is it "freedom of speech"? Here in Russia I can get any information from any world news agency: from russian, georgia, europe ... etc

I think that this war cannot be won by using any defense technology. It is information warfare.

Interesting, there are some people who are still not brainwashed by Goebbel's type CNN or BBC propaganda.

It is interesting to see how this so-called "free press" takes unified position of blaming Russia.

Why noone talks about killed Osetians and Georgian war crimes ?

Saakashvilli is modern Hitler, even worse as he is doing enthic cleansings.


Redarding "disprportionate" use of force... How many Russian peeckeepers should have been killed before it is "proportionate" ?

How about Serbia bombing in 1999. Was it proportionate ?

There is only one ting that it is clear: there is no such a thing as international community. It is all hypocrasy. All this talks about freedom and democrasy is a joke.

Hitler also wanted to bring freedom to the people in Europe. With his own definition.

As 2,000 years ago as it is now. If you have a force then you are right. That is very unfortunate...
