No Prospects of War Between Russia and Georgia… Yet | WORLD AND US

A FRESH LOOK AT AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY. What Did You Really Mean, Mr. Secretary? No Prospects of War Between Russia and Georgia… Yet. August 4, 2009. With a one-year anniversary of the August War coming up and with Georgia claiming that Russia is shifting the border of South Ossetia farther into Georgian territory, everyone wants to know whether hostilities are going to renew. I suggest that another August War is highly unlikely, since neither side sees it as beneficial to attack first. Therefore, both ...

A FRESH LOOK AT AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY. Talk to a WWII vet today. The Worst Match Ever Played. June 24, 2010. So that’s that, and I have nothing to add for now. Instead, I would like to talk about tennis. A dumber and more relaxing subject of conversation. Mahut and Isner are awful serve returners and that’s that. I can’t wait for this worst and most boring tennis match in history to be over with and the commentators to finally stop talking about it and start broadcasting something else. What Did You Re...

A FRESH LOOK AT AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY. No Prospects of War Between Russia and Georgia… Yet. Tulip Revolution Goes On →. What Did You Really Mean, Mr. Secretary? March 30, 2010. About a week ago, I went to listen to one of my heroes, James Baker, give an interview to another one of my heroes, Evan Smith. Baker’s answer was short and simple. He thought that these talks are actually not that important and that. Just several minutes before, Baker suggested that current administration should not only contin...

A FRESH LOOK AT AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY. Why Did You Do This, Mr. President? Talk to a WWII vet today →. It’s the geography, stupid. April 22, 2010. So here we are, seven years after the rainbow wave of revolutions began its triumphant flow. The Kyrgyz leader got ousted through violence, the Ukrainian leader got voted out through peaceful means, and the Georgian leader, well, he is still standing, although his breakaway provinces of Abkhazia and South Ossetia are no longer standing with him. No Prospects...
