Russia alleges aid for Georgia included weapons

Article


Russia on Monday accused "foreign navy ships" of delivering weapons to Georgia as the European Union met to discuss possible sanctions against Moscow.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also said the West would be making a mistake of "historic scope" if it continued to support Georgia.

"If the United States and its allies ultimately opt for the Saakashvili regime, which has not taken any lessons from the recent events regarding South Ossetia ... they will make a mistake of an historic scope," the news agency Interfax quoted Lavrov as saying.

He said Russia would continue taking measures against the Saakashvili administration "to ensure that this regime will never commit evil again."



Ah, the propaganda mill is now at full power. Seed this georgian state with russian loyalists, have them seperate, and then come in and grab all the land when georgia retaliates.

Reminds me of Gemany's invasion of France in world war two , since were on the topic of "mistakes of historic scope" by the way. germany claimed one little province was full of germanic people and so it was their right to go in there and protect them.

Yeah , that didn't work out so well for germany, and I don't think it's going to work out so well for russia either. No one wants a preditor kicking around snapping up pieces of everyones land. That just ticks everyone off.

It feels like they're playing chess, they've carefully calculated all the moves and responses , and know what they're going to do next. Except for the fact that war isn't a chess game, it's a poker game. And no one is guarenteed any victories. Not even the best player of all.
