No, it's Russia and citizens of Russia who are just dismembering Georgia. Russia is an aggressor.

If you are so smart, put down what you think NATO should have done differently.

Stop massacre is noble thing but results are far from noble. NATO should not take side. Not many serbs are in Kosovo now, stop one side violance to allow other side to commit thier own freely that isnt "brilliant" idea for sure.(same applies for ALL states or blocks, or governments).
Where were you (Russia) then?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is often no link between your statements and points of refreference, SiD. You make it sound like this: “Since the Earth is flat, not all frogs are yellow”.
You didn’t like the simple truth expressed by equation “2x2=4” and then you started arguing against it by using binary system instead of decimal just to arrive at the same truth I pointed to: two times two is four, or, the same 2x2=4. Frankly, for a person with normal logic, I think, it could be hard to understand what your fluffy sophism and distortion of the opponent’s reasoning aims at… Don’t complicate simple truth! This is exactly what I told you at the very beginning: even the truth as elementary as 2x2 (which the smallest kids can easily understand) makes you stumble over.
Now I have to guess what you wanted to say. My guess is the following: by showing that there are different numeral systems, you wanted to make a parallel between a “numeral system” and “the way nation chooses”, while equation “two times two is four” (because of your strange way of thinking, I have to write it by words) serves as the verification instrument for the chosen numeral system. Is this the case? (Without your explanation it is just impossible to see your point.) IF this is the case, THEN you lost my point and turned everything just upside down. Numeral system does not need any verification. Either you choose binary system, OR decimal OR octal OR hexadecimal OR any other – it’s all right. It makes no difference. In all of these systems two times two is four. While “the way nation chooses” does make a difference for the result. Moreover, you missed the very point: “the way nation chooses” is extremely important and valuable by itself and may be viewed as the result itself. For a person who makes a stroll on the way, the main aim is strolling – not some point of arrival. “The way we live” is just a value by itself. I don’t need thinking that the usefulness of the time I have spent today should be measured in reference to some goal in the future. (Actually, today is a dreadful day because I spend so much time answering to the bullshit “SiD” wrote.) What is the final point on our way of life?
We are you going to?
Where will you go when you die?

2x2=4.

2x2=4 if we use system were 2 is present not to mention 4. Cant you get the idea that if you use binar system 2x2=4 is MEANINGLESS. There it will be 10x10=100. I can write to you 2x2=11 and be right, you wrote me 2x2=4 is truth i gave you example were it is not. All what you tell here for truth is truth in certain conditions, if we change them it could become false, like Sunday could be already monday in different time zone. If we will come to less "percise" things there things are much more complicated. . Any man is affected by tons of different things that effect his way of life, or way he chooses. Humans ARE different, we live in different countrys, have different langueges, cultures, ways of life, opinions personal qualities and so on. So freedom of will, freedom to have your own opinion are natural values (for a free man of course). What you posted:

Quote:The freedom of choice between good and bad or between right and wrong as well as between wise and dumb would be a silly choice of freedom , not to say more.
I can't believe you argue against the rule of law.
Dislike the good government talk? Well, we could change if for good governance. Good governance and anti-corruption rules are at the mainstream in the European Union.

THAT is bullshit, and i tryed to explain you why. Than was your:

Quote:2x2=4. Kids understand it, but adults sometimes don't - I mean quite literarily: when I had to remind to a man who held Master's Degree in Economics that 2x2=4, he replied “2x2=4 is boring”. When it is not boring, it is not so hard to tell good from bad.

Again i tried to tell you that to tell good from bad is NOT so easy. That you can make mistake in this choice becouse you failed to see something important, not to mention that life is not black and white.

Yalta1945 Wrote:Where were you (Russia) then?

Tryed to use legitimate tools. Well we were shown alright that they are useless, tons of negotiations with those who care only for thier own interests are useless. Action speaks louder. So if you cant change rules, follow them.

Yalta1945 Wrote:Let's compare Moldova and Kosovo, for example. Why Kosovo's independence is worse than Moldovan, uh?

and what is about Moldova?

Well life looses its taste if there is no empire of evil in the world Smile . Nothing better to excuse all mistakes, ignorance and crimes than to say it is neccesaty to halt some empire of evil Smile that stands against freedom, democracy and apple pie.
Who needs those baltic states? They arent worth the trouble. One can gain much more from cooperation with europe. It is as simple as your beloved 2x2=4 (in decimal system of course Smile ). So if they wont start some war no one touches them.

In ANY numeral system two times two is four (2x2=4). 10x10=100 in binary system doen't mean ten times ten is a hundred (which would be true, anyway). It means the same equation: two times two is four - just written differently. In binary system, 2+2=4 is written this way: 10+10=100, meaning "two plus two is four"; and it DOES NOT MEAN anything different (it is not "ten plus ten equals hundred"). Different notation is aboslutely irrelevamt to the meaning, and 2x2 is ALWAYS 4 (even if four is written differently).
So I'm not going to any more comment on the statements that are BASED ON NONSENSE.

--> The reason of discontent in the Kremlin (reflected everyday on its brainwashing media) for NATO’s action in Kosovo is the fact that the former Yugoslavia was a kind of mini-Russia. Those in the Kremlin associate Milosevic’s regime with themselves. They supported Milosevic and they were the culprits for the failure in all diplomatic efforts to find a solution how to deal with the ugly affairs of the leadership of Yugoslavia against its non-Serb population. Russia had done nothing in effect to stop crimes against humanity in Kosovo. The intervention of NATO was therefore the only solution. Watching Yugoslavia to be stomped roused in the Kremlin as similar feelings of sympathy as the alien from the movie “Men in Black” had towards cockroaches stomped by humans. They were crying their crocodile... sorry, cockroach tears just because they had so much of sympathy for the butcher of Balkans.
--> NATO intervention was a precondition of the re-establishment of the rule of law in Kosovo. If one tries to find some historical precedent for the independence of Kosovo, it may be, I think, Israel. After the holocaust in Europe it was the natural idea for Jews to set up their own independent state. And if we accepted the independence of Moldova whose national identity is still not clearer than that of Kosovo (a part of Moldovans, maybe even the majority, considers their national identity to be Rumanian), why couldn’t we accept the independence of Kosovo?
--> While we talk of international law, it should be necessary to clarify what it means in this case.

Forget about it. I see you cant understand. You would be right if we counted fingers but it is all not about fingers and not about numbers. Lets then i try another thing give me 10 things that are "good" and it is obvius as 2x2, just good without "if" and "or" without any dependance on cercamstances .good. Just good thing without explonations that could not become something bad. And 10 bad things, same as with good.

I have already pointed out Why Kosovo is different from South Ossetia
Citizens of Kosovo identify themselves as a separate national unit in need of independency. They do not accept citizenship of any other state and they do not declare any wish to join any other state.Russian citizens in South Ossetia do not fight for their independence – they fight for dependence as they want to join the Russian state. It’s an annexation plan for Russia. Even if Russian official for some reasons do not hurry to accept it, more important is however that the leaders of South Ossetian separatists declared their wish of joining Russia long ago and they repeated it just recently. There is no other place on the Earth where fraction of foreign state’s citizens decides on handing over the territory of their living to another state.
Before the declaration of dependence on Russia, actions of ethnic cleansing were perpetrated against ethnic Georgians who used to form a considerable part of population of South Ossetia until they were driven out of their homes and turned into refugees seeking shelters in other parts of Georgia. The same happened in Abkhazia where ethnic Georgians used to be in majority before the fighting. It’s not normal when some Russian citizen - who calls himself president of South Ossetia –seeks for annexation of the Georgian territory.

You have long oppressed and repressed people who were even much closer to you than Serbs. You treat your own people as enemies. Russian power is still oppressing its own people. Critics of the Kremlin become targets. So do the defenders of the critics, their lawyers.
October 14, again: mercury found in the car of Karinna Moskalenko, A. Polikovskaya’s lawyer. The incident had prevented her from travelling to Moscow to take part in the trial of three suspected accomplices in the 2006 murder of the journalist and Kremlin critic A. Politkovskaya.
Earlier, you mentioned on this forum that Russia had to fight in Chechnya not only separatists but terrorists as well. The problem is that sometimes Russia just plays it as the name game – you are not so scrupulous about accusing anyone. As even A.Zakayev was also called a “terrorist”, everyone has ground to doubt the way facts are presented by Russia.

No. Answering by going around the question is not an answer. Smile It was good for the Soviet bureaucrats only.
“Ivanov was wrong in discriminating me”, complained Petrov.
“We investigated your complaint and we found it was actually not Ivanov but Sidorov. Second, we found out that the only minor fault Sidorov might have been guilty of relates to his sister-in-law. Unfortunately, both of them died fourteen years ago.”
“But I complained about Ivanov, not Sidorov!”, insisted Petrov.
“You have already seen our answer”, replied a bureaucrat.

10+10=100 in binar system it is unquestionable truth like 2x2=4 in decimal, you can quess what system is were 2x2=11. If you do not see difference than you just havent used any different system from decimal, becouse if you did you could find out that sometimes decimal system is not so convinient. Just start to read some books that are not writen for children. You see if i have written 10 in binar system it is not same 10 that is in decimal, in decimal it is 2, if i write 100 in binar it is not 100 in decimal it is 4. If you use binar system you will have 101 finger on your hand Smile . If you count all your fingers on your hands and legs using hex system you will have 14 fingers and you see it is not untrue. Some numbers exists in system you choose some dont for example A, B in hex, are meaningless in dec. like 5x2 is not 10 in hex it is A. It is not commonly used in life but it doesnt means it is untrue. for example we multiplied 2 on 5 you say it is 10, i say it is A. If we used dec system you right if we used hex i am right. i do not know how could it be put simpler. So if we use different systems your answers are not suitable for me, understood? ( and to link this to initial disagreement there are different systems of values and one cant just impose his vision of life on others, there must be freedom of choice)
I could take bible, but is word works realy according those rules? I already pointed you policeman.

The Nashi Movement: Russian Youth and the Putin Cult - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News

You see child is child. If you think that you do not need to learn after you read some childbooks i am happy for you. And if you havent learned anything besides chilbooks and havent left childhood yet than life is trully simple for you. I think it is not normall wenn 20 years man (for example) is at same level as 8 years old. And of course must be DIFFERENCE in treatment, wenn you treat adult like a child it is offending (parhaps not for you?). And of course not EVERYTHING is allowed to know for a child Smile . And of course say " naive as a child " do not say for you anything Smile . Parhaps wenn you will finaly enter adulthood you can understand why Putin is so popular.

“Ivanov was wrong in discriminating me”, complained Petrov.
“We investigated your complaint and we found it was actually not Ivanov but Sidorov. Second, we found out that the only minor fault Sidorov might have been guilty of relates to his sister-in-law. Unfortunately, both of them died fourteen years ago.”
“But I complained about Ivanov, not Sidorov!”, insisted Petrov.
“You have already seen our answer”, replied a bureaucrat.

My answer was quite clear and understandable. Of course for ones who read it, not pointlessly posting some something about burrocrats.

You like this kind of politics but you don't like the result, because NATO being right contradicts your dogmas. Especially painful must be when Europe and the USA are not apart.

Of course, it depends, cause it can mean quite different things. One should formulate one's thoughts clearly. The sentence has to be as clear as possible and it must be complete. If you say just "half the truth" - it's not the truth, it's a lie.

I guess Russia could inflict much greater damage to Tskhinvali - it would be Russia’s usual unscrupulousness in means, marked in many other cases. The scenario of war was certainly different from that presented by you. Russia started the war. First of all, the war was not started on August but much earlier. As for the escalation that started in August, see the topic “Who started the war in S.Ossetia: Georgia or Russia?”. Therefore I cannot call this aggressive action “fruitful” – just the opposite.
We need a good policeman who knows what kind of means is appropriate. Who is going to be the one? Russia?
You’re exaggerating (and you must know it yourself). I don’t think views which you have posted so far represent the future of Russia. I'd still like to dream of better Russia.
Generally, if the mirror of Russian foreign and domestic policy is bad, don’t blame the mirror. But I’m used to see this behaviour; I’d be more surprised to see something good in Russia’s foreign policy and in your attitudes to near countries.

Quote:The freedom of choice between good and bad or between right and wrong as well as between wise and dumb would be a silly choice of freedom , not to say more.
I can't believe you argue against the rule of law.
Dislike the good government talk? Well, we could change if for good governance. Good governance and anti-corruption rules are at the mainstream in the European Union.


Quote:It's the problem of some segment of the contemporary society that they make a mess of things which should be simple. White is white, black is black, but if you see grey it means you see grey.
I don’t know if you ever saw an old film (made in the Soviet time) where it is shown how the unilateral opinion of a group may have such impact on the behaviour of an individual that he (it was a man) cannot tell the simplest truth when he sees black colour. If everybody before him says “white”, he also says “white”. One of the laws of social psychology. Social psychology means experimentally proved laws, that is, pure science (without medieval prejudices [not like Machiavellism]).
2x2=4. Kids understand it, but adults sometimes don't - I mean quite literarily: when I had to remind to a man who held Master's Degree in Economics that 2x2=4, he replied “2x2=4 is boring”. When it is not boring, it is not so hard to tell good from bad.

And this is to our little policeman and numbers. You see if everything is evident and obvius why do we need to find out details? Why to clarify something you call quite clear?

Citizens of S osetia do the same. If some of them wants to have Russia citizenship they are FREE to do so. Why should we declain? Like for example GB wont denie citizenship just becouse some man is from Kosovo.
And as now INDEPENDENT country they can deside thier own destiny.
And if Kosovo suddenly desided to enter Russian Federation if thier independence is recognized would you support it than?

Not true.
Citizenship of South Ossetia and the organization formed by Russian citizens living in South Ossetia is not recognized internationally. These are mainly Russian citizens and Russian officials who may prefer to be called citizens of South Ossetia now. It might even be that 90% of the population left in S.Ossetia are citizens of another state. Nothing of this kind exists in Kosovo, or anywhere else.
Citizens of foreign countries do not set up new states on the territory of their residence. If we followed the new trend of Russia, we would end up with the conclusion that “Berlin’s Russians” and ‘Florida’s Russians” have the right to proclaim independence and join Russia together with their place of residence.
There are no such nations or ethnicities as “South Ossetians” and “North Ossetians” – they are just Ossetians. South Ossetia is a province in Georgia, while North Ossetia is a province in Russia. A separate identity of “South Ossetians” has never existed. Albania and Kosovo (or Kosova) had been split by their distinct histories and they have developed distinct identities. Kosovars are not part of the Albanian nation, although their roots are similar.
Genocide took place in Kosovo, whereas it was not the case in S.Ossetia.
South Ossetia was ethnically cleansed from Georgians. There has been no free, fair and representative expression of will in regard to self-government, and there have not been free and fair elections to result in the legitimate formation of the representative body of the province.
If we analyze step by step the developments in the province, we will see clearer how an aggressive politics of Russia resulted in the current state of matters in the province.
Imagine, if you were a Georgian and Kokoity offered you a “free choice”: leave the province or be dead. You flee, then they would “democratically” divide your property and nobody would ever ask for your will…

Good that you mentioned bombs. I saw an interesting film on the Moscow bombing which led to the start of another war in Chechnya. “The end justifies means?” Have your president told you who was behind the bombing..?
Were they more scrupulous in Chechnya than Americans in Iraq? (The same about saving lives in Beslan and Moscow theatre.)
IF we took the argument of struggle of South Ossetia (btw,without North Ossetia?) to justify their claim for independence, what it would imply for Chechnya? Their struggle is more than a century old…
But double or triple and quadruple standards look all right to the Kremlin. They take Kosovo as the precedent to justify their actions in relation to Abkhazia and South Ossetia without having recognized this very precedent.
Consistency is absent when they explain Russian foreign policy. Russia used to stand firm on refusing the recognition of independence of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Nagorno-Karabakh/Artsakh, North Cyprus, and Transnistria/Transdniestria. What has changed? Russia saw an “Opportunity”? It should now try better to explain how Abkhazia and S.Ossetia is different.
And if Russian citizens are so much of concern, why did Russia abandon them in Turkmenistan?
Russia does not care of convincing principles to rely upon in providing legitimization of its actions. It behaves like a hooligan. One must consider whether it is not set by its leadership. Litvinenko used to call those in the Kremlin “shpana”, and he was familiar with the guys.

You definitly exaggerated it. I let myself dream of the better Russia even when its behaviour and your comments could have made me despise you. I just knew that Russians were not all imperialistic and that things might change. Were I so sure that Russia was the irreparable evil, and were I so sure of other things; I would have not wasted so much time on you…
But the vision of your government described in your last paragraph is by far too pink.
