Hmm. Interesting that they weren't as supportive of their own breakaway region's desire for independence. In fact, rather than letting Chechnya have the independence from their government that the Chechen citizens so desired, they responded with more brutal force than Georgia did with their two--and nobody came to Chechnya's defense.
Hypocrisy, thy name is socialism.
Does make one wonder if the Russian will ever keep their word. Feel for the country Georgia and power struggle taking place in that region.
ReplyDeleteWhile I don't think we'll see the draft come back--nor does the army want it to, with the current education and fitness levels of actual volunteers--I do think we need to see the army building up again, in both men (and women) and equipment.
ReplyDeleteIt's not that I think we're next, it's that I think we're definitely on the list of "that's a power that rivals us; take it out." Just like the first, post WWII cold war.
