As revealed in a July article in the Atlanta
Journal Constitution: "A large contingent of Georgia Army National
Guard soldiers flew to the Republic of Georgia on Sunday for joint military
exercises at a time when tension is brewing in the region".
And you won't hear it on the tv news, but Georgia started
the war.
It is clear that the U.S. has been behind Georgia's military adventures.
McCain
McCain's top foreign affairs advisor was until very recently a high-level
Georgian lobbyist , a neocon, and a key player in pushing fake intelligence
and the Iraq war. He is a hawk who is very good at starting wars.
Obama's top foreign policy advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, wrote in his
book The
Grand Chessboard, that the top priority for the U.S. was seizing control
of Eurasia and its rich oil resources.
"Ever since the continents started interacting politically, some
five hundred years ago, Eurasia has been the center of world power."-
(p. xiii)
"It is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of
dominating Eurasia and thus of also challenging America. The formulation
of a comprehensive and integrated Eurasian geostrategy is therefore
the purpose of this book.” (p. xiv)
"How America 'manages' Eurasia is critical. A power that dominates
Eurasia would control two of the world's three most advanced and economically
productive regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that control
over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa's subordination,
rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania geopolitically peripheral
to the world's central continent. About 75 per cent of the world's
people live in Eurasia, and most of the world's physical wealth is
there as well, both in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia
accounts for about three-fourths of the world's known energy resources."
(p.31)
It is clear that the US is following Brzezinski's playbook for Eurasia.
Indeed, this is exactly what Mikhail Gorbachev was referring to when he
wrote:
"By declaring the Caucasus, a region that is thousands of
miles from the American continent, a sphere of its 'national interest,'
the United States made a serious blunder."
Bottom line: Both McCain and Obama's top foreign policy advisors
want a war. And, obviously, the other neocons and assorted hawks want
one also. Indeed, the U.S. is now sending
troops into Georgia under the pretense of giving "humanitarian aid".
