Human Rights Watch, does an excellent job describing:

1. What occupation is by law
2. How Russia is Occupying Georgian territory.

[BoJaN]

Yeah? What are you going to do about it? LOL

[Senno]

What kind of response is that? You do realize this is a debate forum?

[Panzerbear]

You do realize this is a debate forum?

what is there to even debate about?

[Senno]

So you agree with Galt's premise? Thanks for stopping by and lending your support. LoL

[Panzerbear]

So you agree with Galt's premise?

I am not sure what is there to agree with. screaming RUSSIA IS OCCUPYING GEORGIA wont help his case either.

for all practical purposes Russian troops already left Georgia last week, so I am not sure who is occupying what.
Abkhazia and South Ossetia are not Georgia.

[Senno]

Abkhazia and South Ossetia are not Georgia.

Which goes to show that allowing a country that has a stake in the proceedings in as "peacekeepers" is at best, insane.

Neutral? Nyet....

Good thing they didn't have human right news websites in Roman times.

Aye, but they probably would have enjoyed the more illicit things the internet can provide.

One admin acting reckless and without regard doesnt mean one should just go "oh well" when another attempts to use it as justification for their own.

Well I don't do that Danzig. However Nato is as much a participant in this conflict as is Russia. You cannot simply isolate this from the rest. It is all part of a bigger geo political game. One of the argument I have always used against Iraq is that it will send the message out to other countries that they can do the same. Back to barbarism contrary to working through bodies as the UN.

Its the geo political game I loath, either from the USA/Europe, Russia or China who are actively supporting the mass slaughter in Darfur. Also part of that same game being played in Georgia or Iraq/Afghanistan or wherever there is oil.

Would be nice of more people would approach it that way instead of conveniantly find another boogieman they can scream at.

Georgia violated the first rule of stradegy: don't give your enemies the excuse to kill you...

Sakashivili played into Putin's hands. Moron.

the guy was stuck either way. He had little choice.

Carach, Saakashvili had the choice of 'trieng to solve the problems diplomatically'.

If your implying Russia was bullieng Georgia, provide some proof.

its always in the high 90%'s when the russians are involved rumilus..just check out the chechnyan elections for another example

Those people lived in tents for 4 years, had no possesions, and had half their familily members kidnapped. There was no law, no prosperity.

Now they live in security, their are seeing economic progress and live under a roof.

But I'm sure, someone as intellegent as you would still want to live in hell.

Just because you say something doesn't make it so. Most of the world recognizes those two provinces as a part of Georgia, and Russia's declaration doesn't reshape the borders of a soverign nation.

I'm sorry. That does mean territories of Georgia? If you in a course, that at the beginning of 90th Sonth Ossetia and Abhazia were autonomies, but president of Georgia Gamsakhurdi entered troops and took these territories. Then the militia of these two countries was knocked out Georgian and declared independence, Russia did not interfere in a that conflict. Ossetia and Abhazia will never be Georgian.

Tell that to the Turks who still occupy Northern Cyprus after 35 years.
