Excerpt...

quote: Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned the United Nations that Russia will take necessary measures to defend itself if Georgia fails to deal with Chechen rebels on its territory. In a letter to the Security Council, Mr Putin said Georgia had rejected numerous offers of Russian help to wipe out the rebels holed up in the Pankisi Gorge.

Georgia did refuse Russian help, but then proceeded to launch a major operation against the Chechens in the Pankisi Gorge with its own forces. I don't really know what Putin is complaining about. Scheverdnaze hasn't been a Russian lackey, but he certainly isn't pro-Chechen either...

Major?
Operation?

This is a farse not operation.
Imagine a situation:
Bad guys, let's say drag dealers or terrorists are working somewhere, let it be LA for Example. Once upon
a time LAPD decide to make "major operation" against them. The cheif of LA police is coming to drug dealers and saying: "Hey guys, tommorow me, and my boys are gonna launch a major operation agains you guys. So, watch out, we are coming". Can you imagine results of such "major operation"?
The same was with this Georgian "major operation". They didn't caught a single terrorist, didn't found a single terrorist hideout, base or ammo storage.
If this is operation, then I am a rocket scientist.

quote: Scheverdnaze hasn't been a Russian lackey, but he certainly isn't pro-Chechen either...

First of all, he is f*cken traitor. Second, he SHOULD be more freindly with Russia, considering that his country absolutely depend on Russian economy. They don't pay or almost don't pay for our gas, electricity, our oil. Majority of their population work in Russian industry or trade on Russian markets, because it's the only way for them to feed they families. Georgian economy in deep sh*t. Without us they will not surrvive. He should have been more freindly, too bad for him, I guess it's too late or he had last single chance to fix the situation. If our president said that Russia will take necessary measures to defend itself, then next time we will defend ourselves. If Shawarnadze is not with us he is against us. All is simple.

And obiviously he is pro-terrorist. I guess you never saw how he kiss with guys who ordered to ordered destroy 3 Russian buildings and to kill several hundreds of Russian civilians in 1999.
Georgia is third in list of most favorite hideouts for Al-Quida leaders.

"First of all, he is f*cken traitor."

Heard that before. Why don't you guys like him? What's the bill of particulars?

"Georgian economy in deep sh*t."

We've been through this before. The Georgian economy has been recovering slowly from the early 90s and shows signs of being competently managed in a tough situation.

Stupid Chechins should have made a deal beofre the USA and CIS suddenly gound so many common interests.

What makes the Russians think they'll do any better in Georgia than in Chechnya?

I think the Russian Army hit bottom in 1996 when a Russian division and a Russian battalion fought for 6 hours before anyone realized what was going on.

It's no end of Russian strange movements.
Shevarnadze, when he was Soviet foreign ministry, signed a treaty with USA and settled a sea border with it. Now Russian media accuse Shevarnadze that it was against Russian interests and that Russia lost millions dollars on it and I think that someone tried to give him to the court...
Also, some say that the border should be changed
