Russia attacks Georgia

Not the Georgia with the ATL but Eastern European Georgia. I guess Russia is getting into this attack a sovereign nation business the U.S. has started. The UN is a fucking joke. What the fuck do they do but run their mouths and molest the children they're supposed to be helping? How can they allow Russia to drop bombs on defenseless people? Oh wait...this is the same UN allowing all the slaughtering in Sudan, Palestine, Burma, and Iraq. Disband the UN they do nothing!

Russian forces bomb airfield near Tbilisi airport

TBILISI, Georgia (CNN) -- Russian forces launched an airstrike against a military airfield near the Tbilisi International Airport early Sunday, despite international calls for Russia to stand down from the escalating conflict, Georgian officials told CNN.

The attack near the Georgian capital city came after a day of intense fighting in the former Soviet republic, with dozens of Russian warplanes bombing civilian and military targets in Georgia on Saturday.

As many as 2,000 people had been killed in the capital of separatist Georgian province South Ossetia, according to a Russian ambassador.

CNN could not independently confirm any death tolls, which varied greatly depending on the source.

Alexander Lomaia, secretary of Georgia's National Security Council, said dozens of Georgian troops had lost their lives.

Naturally "W" condemned this overt military action by Russia but it's hard to condemn Russia when Bush authorized pretty much the same kind of attack on Iraq in 2003. Kind of Cold War-ish don't you think? You think Russia and the U.S. are in competition over how many nations they can destroy and oppress? Could be. Bush and Putin probably have some kind of bet going.

Everyday it's being shown that political leaders all over the world are betraying the people who instilled their trust in them. You cannot give human beings power over other human beings.
