RUSSIAN FORCES ATTACKING TARGETS THROUGHOUT GEORGIA
August 9th, 2008Via: CNN:
Bombs rocked Tbilisi early Saturday morning as the fight between Georgia and Russia over a breakaway region intensified and moved into the Georgian capital.
Government buildings, including the Parliament, were evacuated when the bombs fell.
Heavy casualties have reported on both sides since Russian forces moved Friday into South Ossetia, a pro-Russian autonomous region of Georgia.
Russian bombers were targeting Georgia’s economic infrastructure, National Security Council secretary Alexander Lomaia said, including the country’s largest Black Sea port, Poti, and the main road connecting the southern part of Georgia with the east and the airport.
Georgian television reported that the port had been destroyed.
Georgia, a former Soviet state, sent troops into South Ossetia on Thursday, aiming to crack down on the separatists, who want independence or unification with North Ossetia, which is in Russia. Russia responded Friday, sending troops into the Georgian province where it had peacekeepers stationed.
So, is this Iraq v2.0?
This could get interesting real fast. First we’ll see Russia being demonized in the press, next we should watch what happens with the american and israeli military advisors. this is one war, even more than Iran (probably connected as russia has become iran’s key ally) that could start ww3 (or 4 depending how you count). Got to love the sudden break out story of Edwards love affair getting most of the press, they sat on that one for a while, why pick yesterday to run with it? There (the shadow elite) moves are becoming more obvious by the day.
Let’s all watch what happens when that oil pipe line gets bombed, and hope for measured responses.Take care all.
