The former British ambassador to Yugoslavia, Sir Ivor Roberts, said: 'Moscow has acted brutally in Georgia. But when the United States and Britain backed the independence of Kosovo without UN approval, they paved the way for Russia's 'defence' of South Ossetia, and for the current Western humiliation.
'What is sauce for the Kosovo goose is sauce for the South Ossetian gander.'

He is certainly a wise man. So Why not NATO shutup!!!!!!!!!!!

...of the glaring fact that the EU and the USA NEVER rolled tanks and troops into Kosovo to facilitate the breakaway.

Go back, study that and be sure to get back to us.

It won't happen. Even if NATO and US reversed their support for Kosovo independence. The world need a better leadership like Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Watch his video, he is cool, smart and stately.

'We are not afraid of anything' and he did not eat his tie.

SP4,
It's you who should go back to study history books. We are the one nuked other country and sent tank and troop to countless places.
Bush is a lier and stubborn. You are a lier and stupid.

Reminds one of the Cuban missile crisis.
Doesn't Russia have a zone of influence or the equivalent of a Monroe Doctrine?
