AmeriKan MSM Finally Tells Truth About Georgian Aggression

Russia Recognizes Republics' Independence

"Putin visits Abkhazia, vows to build Russian military base" by Philip P. Pan, Washington Post | August 13, 2009

MOSCOW - Prime Minister Vladimir Putin traveled to the breakaway Georgian region of Abkhazia yesterday and pledged to strengthen Russia’s military presence there, defying US and European objections amid simmering tensions in the region.

Here is why the AmeriKan MSM has never liked Putin:

"Russia was controlled by a Jewish elite with allegiance to [Israel] but Putin managed to wrestle back control of his country for the sake of the Russian people although whether he’ll be able to fight off the next Jewish political assault is far from certain."

Speaking on the anniversary of his nation’s victory over Georgia in a five-day war last year, Putin said the Kremlin planned to spend nearly $500 million to build a base in the separatist enclave and reinforce the region’s border with Georgia. “It won’t be a Maginot line,’’ Putin said, referring to the fortifications France built against Germany before World War II.

His remarks and appearance in Abkhazia underscored Russia’s growing presence in what once was Georgian territory and highlighted the sharp differences that remain between Moscow and Washington despite the Obama administration’s efforts to “reset’’ bilateral relations.

US and European officials have called on Russia to comply with the cease-fire agreement that ended the war and withdraw its troops to prewar positions and levels. But Russia says it is no longer bound by those promises because it recognized Abkhazia and another breakaway region, South Ossetia, as independent states after the war....

Some Abkhaz are said to be wary of growing too dependent on Russia, but the authorities greeted Putin warmly as he arrived by helicopter in the local capital of Sukhumi. The visit came a month after US and European officials criticized Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for making a similar appearance in South Ossetia.

The Georgian foreign ministry issued a statement denouncing Putin’s visit, calling it “yet another provocation carried out quite in the tradition of Soviet special services.’’

The Obama administration has repeatedly endorsed Georgia’s territorial integrity, and only Nicaragua has joined Russia in recognizing the sovereignty of the separatist regions.

That the same US government that supports undemocratic coups and illegal invasions of nations? Just checking.
