[lbo-talk] Transdnestr for independence, union with Russia - referendum

[Peter Lavelle]

Well Chris, I work with a lot of Georgians at Russia Today. My  executive producer is and one of my best friends. She is a wonderful  person and simply hates how Russian-Georgian relations have gone south.  I have to agree. It is the current leadership in Georgia - aligning  itself with the Bush people - that has soured everything. Shamefully,  Saakashvili has never asked the South Ossetians or the Abkhazians if  they want to be part of NATO or the EU (other even be part of  Georgia!!!!)  Who in the West knows this? We have our free and  fair media in America to thank for this sad state of affairs. It  boggles the mind......

I think pretty much everybody in the Caucasus hates
Georgians. They are not a popular bunch of people.
Chechens really hate them.
