Russia calls a halt

nichevo,

“you do not bomb a city with artillery, you shell it.”

thank you for the lesson in english. does it somehow affect the substance of the discussion?

“Meanwhile, shelling does not mean they made hits on people.”

except this is how georgians explain massive destruction of civilian infrastructure and deaths of civilians in ossetia.

“Meanwhile, SOs were setting IEDs to blow up Georgian policemen. A military response to such acts is not out of the question.”

except that they had any change to do that only after georgia started its military assault against ossetia, which they had no business to do to begin with. but i will try not to denigrate your low intelligence and poor grasp at chronology.

“Second, where are the bodies? I don’t see any bodies. ”
“Third, if there was any proof of these assertions, the Russians would have allowed the world media to cover it, instead of relentlessly restricting their access.”

they are too busy ethnically cleansing georgians off the occupied areas to allow that.

however, even a man of your intelligence would assume that if even georgians are trying to explain it away instead of outright denying it, the proof is ample and forthcoming.

“I don’t know how fascist or otherwise Georgia is. I didn’t even call Russia fascist. ”

no, you didn’t. i did. it’s because unlike you, i am familiar with the situation in both countries.

“You made demands on Georgia. Now let me make some demands on you, or rather suggestions.”

you are posting basing on false assumption that i have anything to do with russian government of politics. i am not pro russian. i am anti-idiotarian and anti-fascist.

“Stay within the Rus, and if anyone wants out, let them go – you can’t blame them.
Stop murdering journalists and robbing industrialists and acting like a one-party state run by savages. Stop cooperating with nations like Iran. Move the greatest part of your armies to the Chinese border where they may actually be needed, and stop selling the Chinese weapons and technology. Nobody is going to invade you.Try and act like a member of the family of nations.”

totally agree. see, it was easy. now since you are able to operate a computer, you should be able to make a simple conclusion that almost all of it applies to georgia as well. now try to make this mental effort, as straining as it might be for you.
