There were lots of positive reports about the workers utopia under the communist but the reallity was much different.If it wasn't for US wheat in the 70's there would have been wholesale famine in Russia.The reason Russians are happier now isn't that things are good it's they are better...big difference.Also The Germans thought very highly of Hittler and look how that turned out.Just because somone rouses a little national pride with his sabre rattleing dosn't mean he's a good guy.I'm pretty sure the US isn't weak,the only reason caution has to be takken is russias Nuclear weapons,without those any US troop sent into the region would disasemble any russian resitance.casulties would be higher than in Iraq but the outcome would be the same.

I think the US already has some military advisors in Georgia.Russia may have been able to claim some moral highground but that has long sence passed.they have drove far into Georgia and are bombing and shelling large areas of Georgia.Georgai want a cease fire Russia is continuing to push deeper into areas of Georgia that are not in dispute.While there was a claim to be made that Russia had a right to defend what they believe are their people they are now just using it as an excuse to claim the areas that they didn't want georgiahave when the country was established.It just so happenes that that is where the main oil pipeline is hmmm must be a coincedence.Also it speaks volumes that Russia had ammo and supplies stockpiled in the area and ready to go.And I'm Sure Putin visiting the Generals in charge of the millitary action and not Medvewhateverov is just Putin helping him rather than him being the one in control.Georgai while they did make the initial moves is being pounded way out of proprtion to what is needed to restore peace.

God damn it again I agree.

that is the best news I've had all day.I really have been looking forward to this.Thank you.

yeah the game is well worth the price.

US has been airlifting Georgian troops from Iraq to Georgia.It would be wise of Russia not to get in the way of US planes.It would be nice if both side just stopped the BS and withdrew to pre-conflit borders and waited for some sort of international ruling on the matter.All thats gonna happen now is revenge for the previous days attaks and it will just go on and on with the civilian population suffering the most.

Russia at the very least is being very hypocritical.It must be tough have ones country fall from being to superpower to a 2nd rate economic state.the Russian people are a resiliant bunch and are used to oppression and hardships that few in the west could endure.Unfortunaly that makes them less likely to anger when their goverment takes away freedoms or stiffels any sort of Freedom of the press.

Hell same situation I would lie too,my point was after Edwards wife was aware they both were publicaly dening it.Now it's embaresing and all but the fact he didn't realise that the world was gonna find out and yet he continued to lie shows he's not that bright.The guy made millions sueing doctors into the poorhouse with lies and junk science so I guess an affair is no biggy to him.The thing he didn't do was lie under oath that was Clinton and Martha Stewerts undoing.It tends to piss off the Feds when you lie to them.

The majority of the world are not scum but are hard working and decent people,you only hear about the bad.The segment was about John Edwards cheating and lieing about it.It would make sence that they would try to keep it on topic.With so many news stations going 24 hours there is more than enough time for every story.They only divert addtention to thingss when they don't feel like answering a question.The reason the story was important was Edwards is on Obamas short list for atorney general so anything he does is under a microscope.I also find it amusing that when George Bush makes a mistake he's Hittler reincarnated but when some liberal icon does he's just human.

What the game really needs is to have a patch that decreases aircrft frequency acording to dates.have the planes beless common early and late in their careers

Your conversion to the dark side is almost complete

That is a cool link thanks.On a side note how the hell did that guy fit in the Pilatus P3 cockpit?

After I read a few of my posts I realised that some sniping on my part was done.While I stand by my opinions I could have been more diplomatic in the execution.If my attacks(not opinions) offended anyone I'm sorry.maybe a lack of sleep and a few beers isn,t good for a debate.

jsut yesterday I was looking for Jag skins,excellent timing and an excellent job.

"Just saw a Georgian citizen interviewed on the BBC - who happens to be in London - knew nothing about the situation over there whatsoever so was just shouting off based on his emotions - as you can imagine it was " Russia is doing this/that - they want a new Soviet Union etc blah - NATO said they would protect us - they must do something now regardless!"" herein lies the problem both sides represented in this argument here are guilty of this.both sides in reality have greipes and they should have been settled in a more civilized manner.Georga should have used more diplomatic means and russia should not be using the situation to justfy a land grab.I would expect nothing less than the Russian members of the forums to support Russian interests.It is after all their country and to root against ones own country right or wrong is somthing I believe is unique to liberal America.As I have said 10,000 times.If when that facts are out I'll form a permanent opinion on the issue but I just think too many people are just listening to what they want to hear or what they are forced to hear.Maybe i'm just spoiled because in America like it or not we have an independent media and we ,if we want to and are open to it ,can find the truth.

"Fox News is comparable " Whatever dude.LOL it must be a cute little world you live in. As far as state run censorship...hmmm purges and arrests due wonders for media truth I guess.Please to compair a mistake you read about on some biased and obviosly ignornt web page with wholesale distrtion is laughable.believe what ever you want it dosn't effect the way things are just the way you percieve them.

Imagine how bad things were 100 years ago when all people had to go on was what they were feed from their own goverments.At least today we(well half the world) have a global community that can share Ideas and points of view independent of their goverments.

I'm sure the BBC and CNN will report once the facts are confirmed.Russian TV is just saying what the state is feeding them.EEEHHH I never thought I would ever say that about CNN. They may be right I'm not argueing that. the point I'm making is if your ONLY basing your opinon on what is in the Russian media then your not really getting the whole story or facts.

I have to agree Edwards really let a lot of people and his family down.

one problem....Russian TV lol.

That J-8 is awesome.

Is it me or does he look a bit like a 50 year old Adam Sandler.

"RUSSIAN ARMY SAVED 80 000 peoples S-Osethians nations from PHISICALLY elimination. I alltimes seen on Russian TV horrible pictures of destroyed houses, more death bodies on the streets, and escaped peoples, whos talk horrible things about georgians soldiers." Weather or not this is happening to believe it only because it's on Russian TV is really scary.I'm not disputing wether it's true or not I would only believe it if it is independently confirmed.Any information on Russian TV is to be treated as highly suspect.You'll only see or hear what the state wants you to see.Any first year film student can re-edit footage to show what ever point of view they want. Also it seems the UN will introduce a condemnation of Russian over these actions and then we will see Russias actions.If they keep up the fight after Georga has called for a cease fire and withdrawn and now the UN calling on the Russians to stop.If they don't the world will know whats up.if they do and they withdrw too then they may have noble motives.but if tens of thousands stay then ocupier rather than peace keeper is a more likely tag to hang on Russia.

"We need, I think, no comment about how the georgia must pay fro breaking the olympics" the Olympics are a sporting event and a TV show.I don't think wars should be scheduled around it.The olympic games are cute and important to the atheletes but after that they are just entertainment and a little bragging rights for nations.Sometimes they are used for propaganda.No one needs to pay for anything....geeez millions are spent on the games while wars and famine are going on around the globe if anything it's just diverting attention from important issues.This next statement isn't directed at anyone in particular but if the onlyway I can feel good about my country is to wait 4 years to win a soccor match then it would be better to spend the energy fixing my country
