Russia promises military aid to South Ossetia
2008-09-01
Russia's president said Sunday his country will give military aid to the two separatist regions at the center of the war with Georgia -- signaling Moscow has no intention of backing down in the face of Western pressure.

Dmitry Medvedev also warned that American domination of world affairs is unacceptable, though he insisted that Russia did not want hostile relations with the United States and other Western nations.

Medvedev's decision Tuesday to recognize the Georgian breakaway provinces South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent drew condemnation from the West. Though no other countries have followed Russia's lead, Medvedev reaffirmed the decision on Sunday. "We have made our decision, and it's irreversible," he said in a speech broadcast on Russian television.

#1  WAFF > IRAN"S STRATEGIC SUPREGION [SUPER-REGION]. POster describes:

* AFGHANISTAN - PERSIAN Majority.
* TAIJIKISTAN - "2ND IRAN".
* UZBEKISTAN - approxi 40% are TAIJIKS ergo susceptible to pro-IRAN TAIJIK INFLUENS + PER SE IRANIAN.
* IRAQ - IRANIAN KURDS > 70% SHIITE, wid SHIITE ARABS compris 50-55% of Arab sub-population.
* SYRIA > 30% SHIITE and rising. SHIAS MAY ALREADY BE IN A SLIGHT MAJORITY AS PER TOTE POPUL.
* LEBANON > SHIITE DOMINATED WID RISING POPUL %.
* AZERBAIJAN > SECULAR SHIIITE STATE.

* NEWSMAX > RUSSIA WILL RESPOND [Militarily, iff needed] TO MILITARY AGGRESSION: + REDDIT > RUSSIA WILL NOT ACCEPT A UNIPOLAR WORLD RULED BY AMERICA; + BBC -THE NEW RUSSIAN WORLD ORDER - THE FIVE PRINCIPLES [MEDVEDEV Interview].

IOW, besides other, DIMITRY MEDVEDEV is again reiterating the former "YELTSIN DOCTRINE" LATER "PUTIN DOCTRINE", etc. = RUSS RESERVES ITS RIGHT TO RESPOND VIA MILITARY MEANS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NUCLEAR ATTACK, IN CASE OF ANY DEADLY TERROR ATTACK(S) AGZ RUSS TARGET(S) AS LAUNCHED FROM ANY FOREIGN COUNRY [Terror Base-Locale], AND WID OR WIDOUT NEED OF PRE-CONSENT FROM THE GOVT OF SAID SAME FOREIGN COUNTRY. ONLY RUSS WIL DECIDE HOW RUSS WILL RESPOND.

RUSS SCOPE > A RUSS-TARGETED TERROP = ATTACK(S) DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE A MAJOR OR HIGH-PROFILE EVENT.

All an Islamist Terror group has to do is kill a large number of Russ citizens inside a major Russ city-town, or attack a large number of Russ Govt. politicos, etal. AND THEN CLAIM TO LAUNCH SAID SAME ATTACK(S) FROM THEIR BASES IN CANUSA = NORAM???

AND NOW VIRGINA, YOU ONCE GAIN LEARN THE IMPORTANCE OF SO-CALLED "MANCHURIAN CANDIDATES" IN POLITICS!?
