[lbo-talk] South Ossetia

[Chris Doss]

Now that it appears the little Pinochet wannabe fuckhead Saakashvilli's political career is over and my sense of moral outrage has been assuaged (shelling a city with Grad missile systems during a ceasefire at the start of the Olympics -- Jesus Christ!), I'm starting to get really fucking depressed. My former regular cab driver was a Georgian guy, and he used to go off about how great the US was because it was helping them out and now Georgia had a bright future because of Uncle Sam. I never had the heart to tell him that I thought his country was headed toward disaster and the US was going to drop them like like a sack of pollonium in any real crisis. He must be absolutely destroyed. I dread meeting him again -- I wouldn't know what to say.

Georgia has lost those territories forever. There is no fucking way the Ossetians and Abkhaz will ever, ever forgive this.
