"The truth about South Ossetia War, Georgia attack, and Russia's response"
A young Russian man speaks to the American people. I don't know how to embed youtube video here but here is the link:

American and U.K. media is feeding you lies about what happened in Georgia the night of August 7th, 2008. CNN claims that Russia invaded Georgia. The truth is Georgia had committed the act of genocide against people of South Ossetia, and Russia had no choice but to protect its own citizens!
----------------
Thank you for all support and understanding. I will post only 1 more video some time next or the following week.

1. Russian propoganda at its worst.
Why is Russia bombing all over Georgia if Russia's only objective is to "defend" the two breakaway provinces, which almost every country in the world except Russia considers to be legitimately part of Georgia?

2. Since S Ossetia is so small, you would think troops would go in to protect the Russian citizens
Troops would seem to be enough. If the bombing is so extensive, it seems like the intention is more than the video suggests.

There's so much to learn.

4. Sounds familiar
I bet that's the same thing that most people around the world thought when Bush invaded Iraq, and wall know now that there was a "lot" more to it that what Bush said there was!

5. It is the same excuse the Nazis used to invade Czechoslovakia;
to "protect" the German citizens living there.

6. Why did Nato bomb Belgrade if it only wanted to defend the Kosovars?

It would be good to know the truth about all this wouldn't it? Do we think CNN is telling us the truth now all of a sudden

9. All I know is that Condi was there July 10th
and many of the gang are in China together. That makes me rather nervous.

Why is the US looking friends on Russia's border. I smell oil and gas.

7. Russia is serious and they are answering * for playing around in their backyard.
Also giving warning about Iran. So they are directly responding to US and Israel actions in Georgia. This is also a lesson to all other little countries that want to pursue Georgia's path. Be sure that CNN or other media outlet will not tell us the truth. This is another mess created by this administration. Cold war is back.

8. This is how I'm reading it, too.
Only this ain't no "cold war" no more. It's at least luke warm and verging on getting hot.

11. Russians "protecting it's own citizens" by straffing anything that moves.
BBC reporter and crew straffed by Russian jet.

Also check out all the non-genocidal and very upright ways the Russian air force goes about protecting it's citizens by bombing people's homes in the town of Gori.
