Yes, of course, there is a disinformation from both parties of this conflict. It is difficult to make the general picture. For certain is guilty and from Russian party. But why Russia constantly looks guilty? Why Russia try to accuse of aggression? In fact it is Georgia killed Russian citizens in Ossetia. This region became the present zone of disaster - cities are destroyed, people are killed. Why anybody in the West does not speak about it? |

I was wondering about this, Megg. *sigh* I just hope the situation doesn't escalate and you're all safe over there. This whole situation is making me so mad! I know there are two sides to this story and we're all being fed different things by the media in our countries, but I just hope it ends soon. Fuck war.
We are safe but Russia is our one & only energy supplier...
I think we're well informed in Poland this time but still most of the people think that Russians are the only bad guys here and I don't really think so. Truth lies somewhere in the middle as always.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter who's right as long as there are people being killed on both sides! |

I don't consider myself as 'anybody in the West' but anyway I was being on the fence not blaming a particular side if you are referring to my post. As a mortal human being I just don't get what is the fuss. I am all against to fights whereever it happens. Media and governments are peace-ruining organisms all around the world. That's all I am saying. Don't get me wrong.
I really understand your point as the Western Media is not being friendly to my country MOST of the time (pretending to be friendly and provoking public in peace into each other doesn't count!). |

I'm not going to accuse anybody. Everyone has any point of view. All Ok. Russia today is the weak country. Russia has lost all zones geopolitic influences. I think, you'll understand. And so, information war by Russia is lost completely |

I am humbly thinking Russia is economically on the rise by Putin's getting on the work. Surely some are not happy with this and they need to stop this going before Russia goes back to old days. No mater how many lives are risked. Sorry again. Hope this finds an end soon and both Russian - Georgian folks start living in peace together.

I bet he fears unless he needs new places to bring democracy at. Such a scriptwriter. Thing is his scripts turn into be real somehow. |
