We have been continually telling the Russian bloggers that we KNOW that Georgian forces went into Ossetia. No one denies that or even tries to. It’s just that there is more to the story than that simple plot, and we’ve been on top of that. Not even our clownish Left and Buchanan Right are going to get away with slip sliding away from the fuller details and context. There is an intense history of Ossetian paramilitaries and Spetznaz agents going into Georgia proper to conduct raids and terrorism, with the purpose of trying to get the pretext for the 58th armor to jump on it.

It’s as if they are tone deaf. They really have no clue as to how free-flowing our environment is and how it has access to information they cannot obtain over there. They have no clue as to how open our society is and how much freedom we have. It has not changed much over there since the Communist regime. Yes, there’s more wealth and more money making, but things are still pretty much locked down as they were before.
