Labour is paralysed, Tories are sabre-rattling. Neither is helping to reduce Russia's risky isolation
Hypocrisy underpins the bellicose tone taken against Russia's disproportionate action

PERHAPS Gordon Brown's decision to dispatch David Miliband to the Caucasus was an act of revenge, to teach the young upstart a lesson by casting him as Britain's...

At last a piece of journalism that isn't dancing to Washington's imperialist tune.

Now can you horrible Russians get out of Georgia after all we invaded Iraq against the will of the United Nations and slaughtered one million men,women and children.

The Russians have been turning the other cheek ever since they voluntarily gave up control of much of Europe, and started down the Democratic Road. Suddenly they are TOLD by the horrible little man Bush and his pets in Europe that they are about to position missiles on the Russian Doorstep.

Now perhaps I am showing a bit of bias against what I see as the real "evil empire" the USA. How can we expect Russian Democracy to come through its very early days if we support hostile actions by the American Empire. Its certainly time for the power shift to be completed with the likes of China and Russians attempts to find balance.

My god they are about to Vote for another Right Wing Puppet President in the USA, who should be collecting his pension rather than foisting his New World Order on the peaceful Nations of the World,whilst excluding others purely as an act of provacation.

Its time for ordinary people to start a conversation with those that are deliberately being marked as those that cause aggression. Surely what our government has done to these people in collaboration with US agression is enough to provoke many of us.

Muslims have been attacked and suffered far more than any other people since time in memorial.We have sanctioned invasions that started in the middleages and continued right through to now isolating them in whats left of the UK. Would you continue to turn the other cheek if you watched Palestinians having their homes and land taken from them illegally.

Time to offer the hand of friendship to all the Nations of the World. Its a very small place to continue fighting each other, and theres so many positives to be done.

#1 yes, it dances to Russia's imperialist tune.

#2 "Now perhaps I am showing a bit of bias against what I see as the real "evil empire" the USA."

Two useful idiots and commie sympathizers.

Russian democracy? No such thing. Putin is straight out of an Ian Fleming novel.
