Cross us and we will crush you, warns Medvedev

Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian President, today promised a “shattering” blow against any foreign power that moved against Russian citizens.

The threat will compound the fears of former Soviet states which are concerned that they could be next after the Russian attack on Georgia.

“If someone thinks they can kill our citizens, kill soldiers and officers fulfilling the role of peacekeepers, we will never allow this,” Mr Medvedev told a group of Second World War veterans in Kursk. “Anyone who tries to do this will receive a shattering blow.” The rest is HERE

Anyone that has been following this from the beginning needs to look real close about what is happening in Georgia. Russia aided folks in certain areas of Georgia that wanted to be under the rule of Russia. Georgia attacked them and Russia came to their aid.

In terms people can understand, it would be like the Mexicans in TJ wanted to be Americans, and Mexico sent troops in to keep them under Mexican rule, and America rolled into TJ to protect them from the wrath of Mexico, and then America went on to Mexico City for shits and giggles.

IMO, the Russians are WRONG, they invaded a sovereign nation- PERIOD. For those of you that say “Well the West did it in Iraq” I ask you how many security council meeting, and resolutions did the Georgians get? how many other nations were involved in this military action? how many UN resolutions? how many meetings? Now where near as many as Iraq got I am sure.

I also would like to point out that if this stands, and America does nothing, then it’s a free for all and WE will not have to exercise any security council options prior to attacking Iran, all we have to do is say, there are Iranian’s that want to be closer to the west….fight on.

I think America and the NATO allies need to show their mettle now more than ever. And we are in great shape, with the French leader Sarkozy threatening the Russians we are assured a win (Sarcasm should be detected)

I don’t want to hear a damn thing about how screwed we are with Bush, I know. I also know we don’t have a choice right now. GWB is leading the most powerful nation on earth, and NOW he needs to actually do something RIGHT!
