OT - Russia and Georgia at War

[ORANGEandBLUE]

Ah, I thought you were saying look at it from Russia's perspective as opposed to from Georgia's perspective, when you meant as opposed to the U.S. perspective. And if Russia or China did in fact control Alaska, I don't think the United States population would support doing to Alaska what Russia is on the verge of doing to Georgia.

I still would not call them military non-factors.

That's probably what Russia called Afganhistan. Same thing we said about Vietnam's military also.

War is still a bloody escapade no matter how the battles are waged.

i called them exactly what they are. they have no means what so ever to reach out and touch us, not that are truely effective and exacting

vietnam was a political war they never wanted to and never should have attempted

WE helped afganistan defeat russia. if it wasnt for us they would still be getting slaughtered by russia as we speak. and last i checked thats the ONLY place we have been truely successful in so far in recent history.
