Russians seized U.S. equipment

The Russians are pretty cheap. They looted and stole anything they could. There are videos of Russians and their South Ossetian militias stealing SUVs from UNHRC observers..... http://www.unmultimedia.org/radio/english/rns/21326.html They carted away everything from toilets to furniture.

Headline news not worth publishing: Mexican troops repeatedly invade Lower 48. Nothing done about it.

In Russia there is a military museum of trophy armoured technics - near to Moscow. Named "Cubinka". http://www.kubinka.ru/newindex.php?id=3&lang=2 It to be in small town near to which division of the Moscow home guard has stopped in 41st year German tanks. 40 km from Moscow. From tomorrow the american "Humvees" with ukrainian tanks (from georian army, too) will take the worthy place near to German armoured troop-carriers of the Second World War. Both Russian and American tourists (in Moscow) - may descend to look at the technics grasped at the enemy. ps As Russian proverb speaks: "when the head is lost, do not cry about hair"

It's too bad it seems Russians need a strongman to keep them civil. If Putin asks his people to return the stolen equipment, our opinion of him might change. As it is...well I'll hold my tongue.

Based on this report & others I have read, it appears the Russian invasion of Georgia was simply a scavenger hunt by a bunch of organized criminal thugs. They needed equipment & or stuff to sell their criminal buddies (including terrorists), so they invaded a nation w/ American equipment they could steal after murdering innocents they had claimed were aggressors. Typical Soviet ploy employed by new Russian criminal thugs!

I just looked at the video link that web surfer posted. His very own link does not support what he says. And it is only an audio link of a UN spokesman, Ron Redmond. He is saying militia and never mentions Russian. He does say that there are about 450 refuges but he himself seems sceptical of what they are saying.

Is there anyone left so dumb not to know Russia is now run by the Russian Mafia (prior name KGB). Some may have uniforms but they are all just criminals. Few are paid so they steal their pay. The Georgia invasion was like New Orleans during/after Katrina. A free for all pillaging riot but a lot more violent. Coming soon to our shores. Plus, after 1/20/09, we become isolationists to the core and "guns, gold and shotgun shells" (plus Nukes) will be the only "rule of order" for all countries. Many didn't want the stability of the USA as the only Super Power. OK -- you got it. Just don't complain about the results of what you wished for. If the election was in two more weeks McCain would win as would many RINO senators. Sorry, we are toast. Great civilizations are never given a second chance when they destroy themselves. Rome, Greece and many others. Lemmings off the cliff are not given a second chance. The first time Obama is caught on camera in an unscripted moment without a teleprompter whispering to an aid "where's Canada?" he will lose 40 points of approval. Sorry, he's not the prize "they" want. They want congress and they will get it. Heaven help our country, nothing else will.
