IT IS somewhat strange that both our Labour Government and Conservative opposition should be backing the very regime that has started a military conflict by invading another people’s preserve, intent on ethnic cleansing that region.

When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Britain went to war to make a stand against Hilter’s expansionist agenda. More recently, when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, Britain went to war with Iraq, to make a stand on behalf of the smaller neighbour being intimidated.

So why is it that when Georgian troops invaded Abkhazia and South Ossetia, on the very day that world’s attention is turned to the opening of the Olympic Games in China, our Government and opposition appear very happy to back this aggression and condemn Russia for standing up for the smaller and helpless neighbours being intimidated?

South Ossetia is an impoverished, sparsely populated region that borders Russia to the north. It has its own language, its own culture and its own special history. Up until the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 it formed an autonomous region of the Georgian Soviet republic which it sought to unite in one state with their co-ethnics in North Ossetia, another autonomous region of the Russian Soviet republic.

Abkhazia is a more prosperous region on the Black Sea, and it too has its own language, culture, history. After the collapse of the Soviet Union it was involved in a two year struggle to defend its independent integrity from Georgian aggression.

The invasion of South Ossetia and Abkhazia by Georgian troops has taken the world a step closer to a possible nuclear war between Russia and the West. Yet these dramatic events taking place in the Caucasus have been deliberately misreported in the British media which is seeking to make Russia appear the sole scapegoat for the conflict. Gordon Brown and David Cameron are openly supporting the aggressor, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili, and seem to care little about the aspirations of the people of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

That’s because Britain will not allow the niceties of self-determination and fair play to get in the way of the unstoppable march of the European Union and its partner in crime NATO, which appears to be the military vehicle working towards American global domination.

Georgia wants to join the EU/NATO axis and that’s a good enough reason for Internationalists like Brown and Cameron to shelve any principles they may have had left and collaborate with the media to re-write the history of the last five days by brainwashing the British public into feeling sympathy for Georgia and hostility towards Russia.

Excellent post Tim - I'm not sure the author is being sarcastic in his analyis or really doesn't know the answer to the question "Why" but I suspect the latter.

I agreed your comments about the pursuit of oil before, but what is more worrying and possible is that the neo-cons could well be instigating a nuclear confrontation on purpose as part of a "depopulation" agenda whilst the criminals elite hide in their nuclear bunkers.

People need to understand that by putting these missile "defence" bases in eastern europe(as they have been doing for some time), the U.S are pushing Russia into a confontation because Russia (and America) know that if America make a sneak nuclear attack on Russia then Russia will be unable to retaliate.

This is what makes me sick about the people that mindlessly are buying the media lies and siding with their anti-Russia stance in the interests of Western interests- they are effectively shooting themselves and eveyone else in the foot and possibly a lot worse.

Why are the media telling a pack of lies ?

Those who have done their research about the criminal workings of this New World Order system understand the hijacking of the political party system and the hijacking of mainstream media to fit within it.

These so called reporters have their own agenda of what to report and (sadly) probably believe it too.

More than ever before I think we need to make people understand it's in their own interests to learn the truth for themselves through the alternative media before they get swept away on another U.S Imperialist led disaster(headed by anti-Russian hatred or fearmongering) that may actually hurt everyone if Russia or America launch nuclear missiles on western Europe and trigger off WWIII.
