Russia recognizes breakaway Georgian regions but says US is causing tension

[vlad321]

^ I'm just trying to say that given the US's mistakes over in Iraq, especially when it comes to bombs hitting civilian houses, and intentionally bombing a few weddings (as in they were the target, the fact the ground troops were mistaken is another issue) the general population in the US should not act as saints and condemn what has happened in Georgia. That's all.

Also, who is supposed to ask for foreign intervention? Georgia's government or the ragtag bands from the regions that are trying to secede? As far as we know some random self-pronounced "leader" of some obscure group in one of the two regions asked Russia to get involved. Would that count? In general I'm against regions just plain seceding from their nations and so I was against Kosovo's independence, but since it happened then the two regions in Georgia should be allowed to separate as well.

I'm sorry but no matter which way you look at it, when compared to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Pearl Harbor was absolutely nothing. I keep to my analogy, Pearl Harbor would be like a punch to someone's face and Hiroshima and Nagasaki would be like shooting them back in the face, twice. And the fact that the US is the only country who has used Nukes still stands and is a very valid point in arguments.
