Who’s winning Georgia Part 2

On the first “Who’s Winning” thread I posted the date that Hitler remilitarized the Rhineland.

I stand by that date as a valid historical precedent for what we are seeing now.

What was Putin thinking, doing this now? He couldn’t wait three months, or for the spring?

Every weapon system in the U.S. arsenal is battle tested. Every combat arms officer in the U.S. Army or Marine Corps has at least one, if not more, combat tours behind them.

Georgia is a friend and ally. Bush knows his history, and further knows evil when he sees it. The quantity and complexity of the Russian effort make it obvious they aren’t worried about Georgia – they are daring the EU, the former Warsaw Pact countries, and America to make a move.

There is tremendous potential for tragedy here.

If the United States acts quickly, we can realize two important changes:

The EU/NATO “partners” will be publicly recognized for the gutless children they have become. And we just may possibly finally kick the U.N. out of New York.

Yep. 1936. We can fight now when they are on bicycles, or in a few years when they rule Europe.

It’s our call now.
