On Monday of last week Russian tanks scouted through Georgia in and around the city of Gori (some irrelevant City central Georgia.) Gori residents claim that the Russian troop presence on the pedestrian streets is stirring incivility and chaos. Not surprisingly, the
Russian officials claimed they were needed to preserve order. Despite Russia's insistence to provide unsolicited military presence in the neighborhood streets of their oppositional neighbor, the Kremlin had an eventual change of Heart when France’s negotiator Sarkowsy persuaded the Russian government to pledge to pull out today pull out of the state of Georgia.


A few days after the brokered treaty the west anticipates the implementation of the pledge. What happens! "The Russians have not withdrawn," said Georgian Security Council chief Alexander Lomaia. Divergently, the Russian military remained and restricted access to the city local shops and commerce some cities were totally shut down.

This week’s Georgian newscast candidly exposed the Russian military armored vehicles rolling through a group local of Georgian police and blockading the road. Cars were dragged along the street by the Russian armor.



Instead removing their forces from the Georgia region it seems as though the Russian forces are conveniently moving their armory to a nearby place where their communist presence is welcomed a province called South Ossetia.

The Ossetians have been asking for Russian intervention for sometime now. The anti-NATO province has seen its fair share of tragic events due to the strong backhand of Georgia. The Northern portion of has become a refuge too many civilians whose homes, civil centers and hospitals have been devastated by Georgian forces. Now, on the other hand North Ossetia is not just only emotionally and economically attach to Russia it is an addendum of the Russia.

The interest of the people in South Ossetia needs to be heard not just the interest of NATO or Vladmir Putin’s whipping boy President Medvedev. If the world listens we can find out exactly what the citizens of this region want. A forceful overtaking of a seceding Province is not justifiable by the Western Pro Democratic standards our country supposedly endorses for the world.

So should we warrant US leaders the right to ignore an aggressive military invasion of a pro-western corporatist pro-NATO nation like Georgia and quickly denounce the counter from hyper-militant Russia?


It is foolish to believe that Russia will not act in behalf of its own political and economic interest if the US does not attempt to handle this century long conflict without of objectivity. The question both countries should be asking is should justice be bias to a political and economic structure like capitalism?
(If we disqualify the "yes crowd" of right winger would like to believe that it is a valid premise for invasion...) than both nations can move foreword reconciliation.


The European Union negotiated a peace plan signed by both Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Georgian President Saakashvili,in which both nations must pull out of South Ossetia by Aug. 7. And like a bashful, ultra-naive 16 year old girl the West believed that Russia would just “pull out.” Despite the derogatory finger waiving at President Dmitry Medvedev, Americans should keep in mind the reason why this Imperial nation is in Province in the first place.


Unless both sides work towards a real peace South Ossetia will eventually become Russia’s Israel with heavily lobbied interest in the state graduating into an unbridled alliance; an alliance that justifies prejudice and stirs a irreparable hostility with their its neighbor Georgia.


Well Russia has already deployed SS-21 missile launchers in the state and is installing surface to sir missiles near a military headquarters in the city Tskhinvali (just NE Gori.)
