If anyone follows world news, you know that the Russian military, "Bear", crushed the army of the closest democratic nation to its borders, Georgia. American politicians (Bush, Cheney, McCain, Obama) are chastising and renouncing the actions of Russia towards its close American ally. I wonder, does America still have any credibility left with the rest of the world, for the rhetoric from our politicians to even matter? If America's condemnation does move the rest of the world against Russia, would Russians really respect or accept America's stand against their actions. I personally think that Vladamir Putin (Russia's new Czar) is the most dangerous man in the world. Russia has been a de facto beneficiary of the Iraq war, because of the rise in the price of oil. If you didn't know Russia has the third largest oil reserves in the world. So as America is spending money and spilling blood, our enemies are becoming richer while having time to observe our tactics and motivations. The way Russia attacked Georgia, is a carbon-copy of the way America first attacked Iraq (shock & awe). Georgia also has the only oil pipeline that goes to China, that is not controlled by Russia. Sounds like another "Black Gold" powermove to me. Anyhow, I just wondered what other people may think, or if people even care?
What could the U.S. do about Russia?
