I don't know if anyone out there even watches or reads news on world politics these days, but some crazy shit is happening, shit that could potentially start another world war. Last thursday Georgia invaded South Ossetia on Russia's southern border. Georgian military were trained and are allies of America. Russia, who almost has consumed South Ossetia as one of their own fought back. On Saturday, after thousands have died, a ceasefire was initiated. Russia said "fuck that, they are simply regrouping" and began to send all kinds of horrid shit deep into Georgian territory. It is pretty much an all out war by now.

Sure enough, our "fearless leader" has given a sincere warning to Russia to end the conflict in South Ossetia/Georgia, due to them being U.S. allies. Fucking Bush. Guess what Georgia has that supplies a direct line to the U.S.? Oil.

It's sort of unbelievable to me how huge superpowers can, at the drop of a hat or one small conflict, invade another country in all out war. Then again that's hypocritical, since we really just did that in 2003. Other people may look at this and say "it's in the far east, who gives a shit" but it seems hard to believe the U.S. isn't going to step in and may possibly stir up the giant red russian hornets nest.
