-- Posted by driscoll1997 at 11:06 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Will the US get involved in this in anyway besides trying to negotiate a cease fire? This is supposed to erupt into a full war, and if thats the case I don't think the western world can remain neutral. -- Posted by psychotickid666 at 11:07 am on Aug. 9, 2008 what else is knew. if it does im moving to sweden -- Posted by SerendipityDarling at 11:07 am on Aug. 9, 2008 The US should not step in, in a military sense. The UN should be on top of this. -- Posted by CheFreedomFighter at 11:10 am on Aug. 9, 2008 No the US wont get involved in this one. Due to the fact that Russia aint a thirdworld country. Eitherway If they fuck with Russia or Georgia theres going to be a war in the US. -- Posted by Aero360 at 11:11 am on Aug. 9, 2008 The US, we should mind our own goddamn business.  I'm tired of our world leaders leading us into shit that cause everyone around the world to hate us. This is why the UN was invented.  We are not the watchdog of the world -- Posted by CheFreedomFighter at 11:14 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Sounds like some Revolutionairy potential in the US if they choose too. -- Posted by Lothar1 at 11:14 am on Aug. 9, 2008 well we act liek the watch dog and what the hell i could see us getting into this to try and help out the little guy in this cause what reason did russia have to invade? -- Posted by MushroomSatsujin at 11:14 am on Aug. 9, 2008 WW3 -- Posted by driscoll1997 at 11:16 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Quote: from MushroomSatsujin at 11:14 am on Aug. 9, 2008 WW3 lol I was thinking this, its the same way Germany invaded Czechoslovakia. -- Posted by robdude at 11:18 am on Aug. 9, 2008 calm down, it's not going to be WW111 -- Posted by moonkin at 11:20 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Fuck the UN can't do shit. Like the League of Nations did shit to stop aggressive nations leading up to WW2. Fuck Russia for starting WW3.

In which case the war had been raging for 4 years already and even then you only joined in retaliation (Pearl Harbour). You would have had me if you'd said the Cold War. But let's keep things in proportion, even since then you've got involved in/fucked up hundreds of countries, just because you're bigger, badder and you can. My point is just if America got involved in a war that it didn't neccessarily need to, against an opponent with more than AK47s, sticks and stones and a two-hundred strong mounted sword brigade, I'd eat my fuckin hat. I'm not saying it's a bad thing! Just clearly isn't likely. -- Posted by driscoll1997 at 12:41 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 Quote: from DonnieDarkko at 12:27 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 Quote: from driscoll1997 at 8:09 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 Quote: from DonnieDarkko at 11:23 am on Aug. 9, 2008 I don't think the US is going to attack a country that has the power to fight back properly, that's not how they do.    yah ure right thats why we stayed out of WWII.

Just because we haven't done that since WWII does not mean that today we are different. If NATO called for us to fight I see no reason to think we would ignore them -- Posted by DonnieDarkko at 12:49 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 Probably, what you're describing I guess would be Cold War 2. I don't think this will amount to anything big enough to pull the US or indeed any individual country (apart from Georgia, obviously) into declaring war with Russia. -- Posted by goodheart4ever at 1:37 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 There won't be a world war three between Russia and U.S.A, those countries know that well the idea of mutual destruction and do not want to scrafice their stuffs a world war 3 is going to be in Middle east should Israel attack Iran or should U.S do the dirty job. -- Posted by MaryLin at 2:27 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 If anyone can make Russia back off, it's the US. Russians think they can do anything but they should leave Georgia alone. -- Posted by holyshitreally at 3:32 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 90% of all people living in South Osetia are russian citizens and after the Georgians attacked the country and Russia retaliated you call it an invasion? look at it this way, if some one attacked Puerto rico would america just sit by and watch? -- Posted by driscoll1997 at 4:29 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 Quote: from holyshitreally at 3:32 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 90% of all people living in South Osetia are russian citizens and after the Georgians attacked the country and Russia retaliated you call it an invasion?   look at it this way, if some one attacked Puerto rico would america just sit by and watch? Russia gave them citizenship when it was still under recognized Georgia control. totally different htan if someone invaded Puerto Rico. -- Posted by holyshitreally at 6:39 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 they where given citezenship from former president Putin, and they broke away from georgia 14 years ago. and every one knows that this will end in a few days. Russia wont leave the region. So south Osetia will join the RF just like North Osetia did. and georgia will calm down for another decade. just like it happend in 92. No one is going to be stupid enough to actually back up georgia in its war against russia. all they gona do is talk. -- Posted by jager307 at 6:50 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 anyone heard of the league of nations? they certainly fucked up what makes you think the un is any better -- Posted by Cumulonimbus at 9:52 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 Quote: from DonnieDarkko at 2:23 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 I don't think the US is going to attack a country that has the power to fight back properly, that's not how they do. Which is what?  China?  Unfortunately for all the people that want to see US muscle, the only people which could put up a fight are either allies(you guys) or they have a nuclear arsenal they're willing to use if everything goes to hell.  (See North Korea)
