Underway?  NYT says something along the lines of "foiled".


Anyway, though I think Georgia has something to gain from making it look like Russia was behind this, and I think elements of the Georgian Army would probably be maad aat Saakashvili aanywaay, I think it is probably pretty safe to presume that Russia was involved at some level.

Something we learned last August.  Georgians are liars.  Who knows what the hell is going on.  There may be no military rebellion at all.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Right now the Georgrian government is not too popular, so this may be a venting of honest domestic fury rather than a move purely fashioned by the Russians.

I'm sad to see that Ark lending credence to Spellus' Russophile ways.

If there was any US President other than the Obamateur, Georgia would be reinforced.

I'm no Russophile, but neither do I want to be hoodwinked by a bunch of almost-Russians.

Are we really being hoodwinked if it involves us doing things that we would want to do anyways?

Nixon wouldn't have.

Why would Canada do that?  There aren't enough imbeciles without prospects in Canada to make good soldiers, and so our military capability is limited.

Sounds like they wouldn't let some little tubby in.  :console:

You are a Croat - you are just as an almost-Russian as an average Georgian is. Worse still, you're a Balkantard. :P

Why would Neil want to join the military? After all, despite his numerous failings, he seems to have at least an average intellect, at least a middle class background and does not seem to be deranged in a way that prevents relatively normal functioning in the society.

Only the stupid, the poor or the insane join the military.

Well I must be insane, because I have money, and I've been accepted to some good universities.   :bowler:
