And that's why they hate you. I sure as shit don't want Brazil or Australia trying to get involved in our shit, because WTF do they know?

And no, it does NOT all affect everyone. So far, (luckily) this Georgia and Russia business hasn't affected us, at all. But, if we have our own way, it WILL affect us, because we WANT it to, because we WANT to get involved. Not that we SHOULD, or NEED to. We just want to.

Lol alright man, you do that. Have fun in Russia, I'll chill here for now.

Honestly, we should just let them play their little games in Venezuela. With any luck they'll get hit with Hurricane Jerry or whatever the next one is. And honestly, they are no threat to us. Behaving like they are only makes us look weak.

True that. Whats more cowardly, avoiding conflict or being afraid of third-world country?

international politics isn't all that much different, than kids fighting in school ... it happens, always has happened, always will happen ... bullies will always be bullies, and will always have to be put in their place ... as the old saying goes: " don't START no shit, and there won't BE no shit " ... I think we tried to tell Manuel Noriega and Kaddafi that, but they 'just didn't get it' ... :s4:

But India has their own bombs too, and probably better ones than Pakistan. I don't think anyone will use nuclear weapons because of all the wrath that will rain down on them from every other country in the world if they do. The main reason countries like to have them nowadays is to make themselves look tough.

Hey, if they start that shit (as in war) then I refuse to cower down to them. War should be avoided but sometimes you just can't let certain shit slide.

I find it offensive that you act like I don't have a clue what the possible ramifications are of such a war. It's not a knee jerk reaction, certainly at the moment we don't have enough cause and reason to start another war but if Russia continues on it's plan to attack countries like Georgia and to act like a bully then we may just have to help our alliances.

Also, people seem to confuse best interest with cowardice, and I'm not sure why....

I agree, you certainly sound like a coward, but this is the first time I have ever heard anyone BRAG about cowardice :wtf: ... reminds me of what the cops used to say: "next time you need help, try calling a hippie !" ... :D

Georgia started it by killing 1,500 civilians (for no apparent reason that I can tell. Did they really think the Russians would just roll over?). They don't deserve shit. Russia is simply defending its citizens. I see nothing wrong with whats been happening an no reason whatsoever for us to get involved.
