The Georgian conflict seems to have a major awakening effect on the Russian bear to reclaim its geostrategic power and to take stand against the unilateral empire of the Anglo-American establishment.

By Anne E. Kornblut

Noam Chomsky

In August 2008 during the Russia-Georgia-Ossetia war. George Bush, Condoleezza Rice and other dignitaries solemnly invoked the sanctity of the United Nations, warning that Russia could be excluded from international institutions "by taking actions in Georgia that are inconsistent with" their principles. The sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations must be rigorously honored, they intoned - "all nations," that is, apart from those that the US chooses to attack: Iraq, Serbia, perhaps Iran, and a list of others too long and familiar to mention.

War Pundits Telling U.S. Allies to Commit National Suicide?

By Gary Brecher

I'd hate to be Georgia right now. So many American pundits have plans for the Georgians, brilliant schemes designed to get Georgia into a big war with the Russians. "Here's what you oughta do." It's like listening in on bar talk -- some drunk trying to talk a 98-pound weakling into a rematch with the hulking thug who just put him on the floor. Funny thing, they never want to prove their theory themselves.

Putin's Ruthless Gambit

Michael T. Klare, TomDispatch: "To fully grasp the recent upheavals in the Caucasus, it is necessary to view the conflict as but a minor skirmish in a far more significant geopolitical struggle between Moscow and Washington over the energy riches of the Caspian Sea basin - with former Russian president (now prime minister) Vladimir Putin emerging as the reigning grand master of geostrategic chess and the Bush team turning out to be middling amateurs, at best."

Russia reacts to NATO ships

"We don't understand what American ships are doing on the Georgian shores, but this is a question of taste, it's a decision by our American colleagues," Putin reportedly said. "The second question is why the humanitarian aid is being delivered on naval vessels armed with the newest rocket systems."
