I was Born in Tbilisi, Georgia. It just hurts to see that Russia invading a country who probably has less people living there compared to just a city of Moskow. I had a feeling that will happen…remember when Russia Shot Out a Drone Plane over Georgia and then denies it? that plane belonged to USA. Anything Military Georgia has, came from USA. ---

[http://ghostrecon.us.ubi.com/product\_gr.php](http://ghostrecon.us.ubi.com/product_gr.php) **Eastern Europe, 2008** The world teeters on the brink of war. Radical ultranationalists have seized power in Moscow - their goal, the reestablishment of the old Soviet empire. Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan - one by onne the nearby independent republics slip back into the Russian orbit. Russian tanks sit in the Caucasus Mountains and the Baltic forests, poised to strike to the south and east. The world hold ots breath, and waits. For one small group of elite soldiers, the war has already begun: U.S. Special Forces Group 5, First Battalion, D Company. **Deployed on peacekeping duty to the Republic of Georgia in the Caucasus** , this handful of Green Berets represents the very tip of the spear- the first line of defense. Equipped with the latest battlefield technology, and trained in the latest techniques of covert warfare, they strike - swiftly, silently, and invisibly. They call themselves “The Ghosts” wierdd ---

Reports say the South Ossetian capital, under Georgian control, has been destroyed. I’m confused as to who started this…it seems Georgia invaded South Ossetia, and Russia is responding by invading Georgia? I don’t agree with the amount of force or the bombing of civillians, but Georgia did seem to start it. ---

it seems that way. maybe this is Russia’s way of showing the US they still have some tanks? We did shoot down a satelitte with a missle because we “had to”, not like we were showing off our ability to shoot down things from space ---

This could turn into something very serious on a global scale if Russia does not pull back. I find their timing of the start of attacks to be very bold. They saw most leaders and the rest of the world are paying attention to the Olympics and will give them more time to try to do whatever they have planned without any serious moves by the powers to put a end to this. Hopefully Russia pulls back and starts discussions because this is ridiculous ---
