“Iran was a steady WWII ally”

That is a lie. Iran was invaded by both the USSR and the UK. America did the occupation.

So while you may consider me an idiot, I just consider the source. A source who keeps a safe distance between his self and the facts.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I don’t consider a treaty signed at gunpoint to be binding. Maybe you do.

Back on topic, I wondered where Baghdad Bob went and after reading Mike’s propaganda, I now know.
Mike’s ‘citizens’ have been waging guerrilla warfare against Russia for centuries. Maybe the word ‘citizen’ doesn’t mean what he thinks it does?

Putin is making a serious mistake here. America SHOULD NOT let him recover from it. If handled properly, this could lead to regime change in Moscow. That would be good thing.
NO former KGB chief will ever be an ally of the USA.
Send 200 Javelins to Georgia. F-22′s out of Iraq have the range to put a CAP over Georgia.
That should be enough to show that America supports it’s allies and that the Russian Military is a cardboard Bear.
I want all you appeasers to realize that if the Russians get away with this, there is no reason Mexico can’t take back California on the same pretext, there being a higher percentage of Mexicans in California then there are Russians in Georgia (If California would be missed or not is another topic. Google Jesusland).
If you say that the US Army will prevent that, I agree but don’t see what your problem is with the Georgian army doing the same.
Russia having a bigger Army then Georgia doesn’t change the principals in play. It does bring up the question of ‘does might make right?’ If it does, then the USA has more might then Russia, so when we say go, they need to get a move on. If it doesn’t, then California belonga Mexico. Take your choice.
