Absolutely ridiculous propaganda!


Wow - I mean, just WOW!!! The levels of propaganda B.S. at The US are reaching paranoid levels! Did the US State Dept. fund this tripe? For those of you not in the know, the whole Russian-Georgian conflict was started when Georgia illegally attacked the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali on August 7-8, 2008. What NOBODY from the biased western press wants to mention is that RUSSIAN PEACEKEEPING SOLDIERS WERE KILLED WHEN GEORGIA ATTACKED OSSETIA and THAT is why Russia had to take action! The head of Georgia at the time, Mikhail Saakashvili was a completely incompetent western stooge who was launching a proxy war on behalf of western multi-nationals! The whole fiasco reached it's nadir when two women who were interviewed on US propaganda Fox News actually THANKED Russia for saving them from the Georgian bombing (completely contradicting what The US newsreaders had said earlier)! Perhaps they should either list this movie under the genre "(Wishful) Fantasy" or start a new cinematic genre "Blatant Propaganda" to accommodate this movie!!!!

I agree. It is one thing for a major power to start a conflict. It is quite another when a minor power attacks a major power. Quite frankly, if you are weak, it is best not to provoke a conflict. Georgia rightfully belongs to Russia as penalty.
