Furthermore, Georgia is the only oil route between Asia and Europe which doesn't pass through Russia or Iran. Read between the lines. This crap is global, and it marks a new geopolitical era. Russia has now shown that they're willing to stand up against NATO expansion. Heck, you don't even need to read between the lines. Russia said this year that they would do everything they could in order to stop those countries to join NATO. In other news, Russian troops are now advancing out of Abkhazia to Senaki, with the justification of "preventing the regrouping of Georgian troops". |
Depends on your view, of course.
I believe in the US withdrawing from NATO, the UN and all other alliances, then reforming allies individually with countries that can equally benefit from each other in economic situations, those that share similar interests. Those that are not allied can rightfully be invaded and taken over by force. That's just my view, of course.
