Well now we can be confident this never had anything to do with South Ossetia. Russia wants the Caususes back and we're on the verge of a 3rd world war.

I don't think Medvedev and Putin are quite crazy enough to incite a third world war, but I suppose you never know. I really thought Medvedev would be more democratic than Putin was, but apparently I was wrong. Of course I did think Putin would move Russia in a pro-democratic direction.

Putin is such a likable guy, it's too bad he's a mini-tyrant.

Would you and the rest of GT like to join me for some hot love in my fallout shelter?

Re: Russia Invades Georgia
 

Russia are testing the waters. They may start a Cold War type stand off but they won't start a global war. All it takes is one pissed off super power to fire some nuclear missiles and the entire world is screwed.

So come to my fallout shelter and bring lube.

Edit: eff yeah! post 2112. I feel so Canadian right now...you could say I'm Geddy with excitement. Geddy Lee that is.

Okay, I'm done. I'm not funny. Continue coherent discussion.

Re: Russia Invades Georgia
 

Did you think Medvedev ever was in control to make those decisions? He may be more demacratic, but his opinion is irrelevant. The man was hand picked Putin to be his puppet.

And laugh if you must, but I don't see Russia leaving Georgia after multiple promises to do so, and all they've done is continually lie to the world in a very bold faced fashion. If Russia attempts to oust the Georgian government, I can see this getting VERY ugly as NATO and Western Europe won't be able to ignore this situation. Maybe a third world war isn't likely, but this is as close as we've been on a LONG time.

Re: Russia Invades Georgia
 

THis won't be a third world war at all, not even close.
It will just be a speedbump that is European "democracy".

Russia doesn't have the military to put enough pressure on the western world and the rest of the UN to hold out to cause any real damage than possibly fully occupying Ossetia and Georgia. Other than that, I doubt much will happen before other countries put a foot in.

But I swear to god, if they put a fucking hand on Ukraine, I'm all over their ass like dirt on a fucking potato.

Are you going to ride your moose into battle?

Re: Russia Invades Georgia
 

I've never seen a moose in my entire life. I've never seen a beaver, either. I've nary seen an elk, nor have I gazed upon a polar bear.


I will however fashion a rope made out of squirrels and ride coyotes across the Pacific while they hop from Orca to Orca.

Good to see my Canadian stereotyping live on. :D

I try to pick up the slack when you're not around. And "slack" is not some sexual innuendo, pervert.

Well Texans still believe they are a country, so they would be happy, and I don't think the rest of the country would miss them. :p

Unfortunately, much like many of the other tasteless, watered down domestic beers, the only thing good about Lone Star beer is the low price.

Re: Russia Invades Georgia
 

Put back 7 or 8 Lone Stars and saddle up on yer sister. Yee-haaw!

Re: Russia Invades Georgia
 

I would exclude Austin from this. The rest of Texas...they can do whatever. Actually keep the original Dr. Pepper factory in Dublin, TX and keep Austin for me to play shows and get wasted at SXSW every year, but yeah, the rest of TX, not so much.
