Jack, two things:

1) Israeli & American advisors attached to Georgian units are apparently quite numerous, and would not have abided ‘ethnic cleansing’ in SO. Had they been with the Russian units next door in Grozny (back in the old days a few years ago, before the Russian government was so concerned with civilian casualties) they would’ve raised holy hell about the ”kill everybody” tactic.

2) You’re way overdoing the ”Americans just want to do business” theme –as if we’re Pavlov’s Dogs and only need the bell to start slobbering. Also, no anti-Hillary, anti-liberal, anti-feminist American would slur Fox News. I think you just couldn’t help yourself with that one, but it’s a revealing ‘tell’.

I’m just trying to help. I know you want peace.

Can you tell us more about Russia?

For example, is it a coincidence that both RBC Network and Putin are St. Petersburg affiliates, and does that explain why RBC is apparently government-protected –that is, does not get investigated over the numerous cyber-attack charges, including shutdowns of Georgian and Estonian government networks?
