Russia Fighting U.S., Not Georgia
Mocking midgets like Georgia or Poland (which the media called Americaâs âlittle alliesâ) provides proof that decision makers in Moscow are in a good mood. They are trying to persuade their subjects that Russia, after years of âhumiliation,â finally âgot back on its feetâ and is ready to confront the most powerful country in the world. The fact that it is going to trample on its neighbors at the same time should not be seen as a horrible thing. They deserve it.
