LOL Russian propaganda and imperialism at its finest. This is why I do not have much faith in journalism in the modern age, no matter where you go; most of the time the reporting tends to be one-sided. The Russians here are clearly trying to paint themselves as liberators, but they also committed similar war crimes themselves in this war and also in Chechnya, killing and displacing civillians. Indeed Russia is no longer a free and democratic country, but a mafia state. Wikileaks which was ironically set up to promote a left wing political bias and agenda has proved this very point.08.08.08 Russia Georgia South Ossetia war TRUTH EXPOSE documentary
Quite frankly, Russia had a much better cassus belli in the South Ossetia War than America/NATO did in Iraq (what was their cassus belli again?). Russian peacekeepers were attacked in South Ossetia by Goeorgian forces, along with South Ossetian civilians, and unsurprisingly, Russian forces counterattacked.LOL Russian propaganda and imperialism at its finest.

Amerika and NATO are not imperial power for land anymore, what they are is an Imperial power for money and resources(money). Their main objective is to baptize the world to capitalism be it to China or Saudi Arabia, as long as someone plays the capitalist card democracy can wait.Quite frankly, Russia had a much better cassus belli in the South Ossetia War than America/NATO did in Iraq (what was their cassus belli again?).

If Russia is 'imperialist' for fighting a five-day conflict that with minimal casualties and no territorial changes, what exactly does that make America/NATO?
You probably assumed Russia was the 'bad guy' in the conflict before even reading anything about it, which is typical of neocons.
Yes, this is called 'neocolonialism'. Yanks and Euros realized that they can't control territory directly anymore, so instead they strangled third world countries economically, while obtaining valuable resources from them. This is most apparent in Latin America and Africa.Amerika and NATO are not imperial power for land anymore, what they are is an Imperial power for money and resources(money).

...And like a typical Marxist, you make assumptions and attacks without any basis, followed by a Tu Quoque about Iraq that is unrelated to the subject matter, and laughable to compare. Even if you don't accept the arguments for regime change in Iraq, that doesn't take away from the argument of Russian imperialism in this manner. Territorial changes lol, so what major territorial changes happened in Iraq? Russian troops not only mobilized into South Ossetia and Abkhazia, but also into neighboring Georgian territory, killing and displacing civilians in their wake just like the Georgians they are quick to condemn. Where exactly is the correlation with Iraq? The US was removing a dictatorship, where as in this conflict a mafia state is invading a democracy that coincidentally is friendly to NATO, also around the same time they have been making economic threats to Eastern European countries for developing stronger relations with the west.Quite frankly, Russia had a much better cassus belli in the South Ossetia War than America/NATO did in Iraq (what was their cassus belli again?).

Guy, if you think 200 civilian casualties in Georgia (according to Georgian sources) in a five-day conflict is the same as hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties in a ten-year long conflict, then you must be smoking some really strong stuff....And like a typical Marxist, you make assumptions and attacks without any basis, followed by a Tu Quoque about Iraq that is unrelated to the subject matter, and laughable to compare.

LOL, what Americans were killed by Iraq? Or are you one of this loonies who still believe Bush's blatant lie that Iraq was behind the 9/11 attacks?Edit - Also I wonder where exactly you got the point that a length of a conflict, or the volume of civilians casualties on either side automatically co-incides with whether a conflict is imperialistic or not? If intervening because members of your country are being killed by an enemy state, then that would also make the Iraq war justified, but such arguments can be deceiving and I wouldn't accept that kind of logic alone just for a military engagement.
Georgia under Saakashvili is a democracy? Oh well, whatever floats your boat.Where exactly is the correlation with Iraq?
