Russian jets have attacked oil port of Poti!

This is just getting worse. The port of Poti is located on the eastern Black Sea coast, far from the disputed war zone.

There are also reports that Georgian troops have been forced out of Tskhinvali and have also stopped shelling that city.

Georgia Official: Russian Planes Attack Poti Port, Railway


MOSCOW (AFP)--Russian aircraft have attacked the oil port of Poti, as well as an air field and a railway junction, the secretary of Georgia's National Security Council told AFP Saturday.

speculation will go right back up, damn.

Georgian forces, trained and equipped by the Pentagon and the U.S. government, killed 10 Russian peacekeepers early this morning in a provocation attack that has escalated into military conflict, but the subsequent corporate media coverage would have us believe that the U.S. and NATO-backed client state Georgia is a helpless victim, when in actual fact a far more nuanced geopolitical strategy is being played out.

Harvard trained pro-US Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvilli was wholly aided and abetted by the Central Intelligence Agency and his friend George Bush.

I can see it being an accident, but Georgia would have no motive to attack Russia unless they ENJOY getting raped by bears.

I wonder if Bush and Medvedev reached an agreement; they´ll look the other way on Iran if we look the other way on Georgia.

each other at the Olympics for shits 'n giggles......

I say follow the oil. Russia gets theirs, we get ours,

Profit!!!

I'll bet you a $20 donation to DU that you're wrong.

I'll even give you the fact that your fifty dollar increase was an exaggeration.

I'll bet you oil won't go up $3.00 on Monday.

Twenty bucks.

Deal? Or are you just spouting?

good on so many levels. It is a good thing the boy king could see into Putin's soul...or this would have surprised us...:sarcasm:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:hi:

from USSR days?

On the other hand, Georgia was stupid enough to attempt to take back South Ossetia and support the USA's illegal invasion of Iraq.

Perhaps there is cause for concern....

I believe they were dismantled and the parts destroyed.

Olympics, sex scandal, Russians invade small country

could be very scary.

both sides have nukes

Georgia absolutely does not.

And it is best to think they might have a few that they tucked away ...
although to use them would be suicide,

I hear what you're saying, but apart from the rogue/lost "suitcase" weapons we've heard about (which probably wouldn't work anymore even if they ever did exist), all Soviet nuclear weapons were withdrawn to Russia when the USSR broke up. And even if the Russians left a few warheads lying around in Georgia (unlikely in the extreme), the Georgians wouldn't be able to operate them - - no launch codes, etc. Don't get me wrong - - this conflict is not good news and I hope it's over quickly for everyone's sake, particularly and obviously those whose lives are in danger, but there is no nuclear dimension to it.

And has traveled to Georgia when it was part of the USSR and as
a free country and she told me that Georgia has some really top
flight physics and engineering people there and some on going
nuclear programs too. Also w/ the break up of the old Soviet
Union security @ many weapon sites across the country was very
bad.

BTW Do you know who was one of our top "loose nuke" people?
Answer Val Plame.


BTW part 2 according to her bush has fucked up NASA too.

Nuclear
Georgia is home to three nuclear research institutes. The Andronikashvili Institute of Physics in Tbilisi houses a nonoperational IRT-M research reactor. All fresh and spent fuel was transferred from the reactor facility to Scotland in April 1998 under a multinational effort known as Operation Auburn Endeavor. The High Energy Physics Institute in Tbilisi is not known to house fissile material. The Sukhumi I. Vekua Institute of Physics & Technology (SIPT) was relocated from Sukhumi to Tbilisi due to the Abkhazian conflict. There are reports that SIPT once housed isotope production reactors and/or 2kg of 90% enriched uranium, though the whereabouts of the HEU is not known. Georgia is party to both the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). In addition, on 6 June 2003, Georgia ratified an Additional Protocol to the NPT.

can't you get your priorities in order



:hide:



Ships to Iran, Russia attacks Georgia :scared:

approximately when.

Meh.

but god, what an unfortunate name

This was in April

In The News: Good news/bad news - George Bush is out of country visiting Georgia and Ukraine on a NATO-related mission (missile basing) while Dick Cheney is in the drivers seat in Washington.




I think it's about the missile defense system we want to put on their borders. And oil of course.
