Author Topic: Russia vs. Georgia (Read 5292 times)

I would like to note that I never heard of Georgia before, but unlike some people, I realized half way through reading the first post that he wasn't talking about the state.

If I were to compare this to any conflict I have any knowledge on, these seems like Texas joining the US from Mexico (though the people declaring independence aren't actually joining Russia as far as I know). � Whats going to happen in the end is simply the bigger guy will decide if the spot stays independent, or if it rejoins the nation it was in. � Considering the sides here, they're staying independent.

Also, that is a funy toon.

The middle picture was the picture they used for the New York Times, except it had soldiers in the background.

It was an uneven conflict, Russia had way more than enough troops to stop the Georgians. It was like a grown man kicking 2 year olds.

More fake pics:
Shot 1 - dude in shirt, body clean

Shot 2 - OMG they kill Kenny! Minus shirt, pants changed
img
Shot 3 - SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 Same dude, pants #2, added t-shirt + shirt

Also, I lol'd at everything saying Ta-Bilisi.

I don't see how the toon is funny.

Those pictures may look fake, but they aren't. Many people ARE really dying over there.

I just hope T'Bilisi isn't hit D:

The Toon is awesome and the pictures are very fake looking.

That doesn't mean people whose relatives may be victims of these bombings aren't going to feel offended by it.

And the pictures aren't fake. I could go all the way to Georgia, right now, take pictures and post them here. Then you'd see that they aren't fake.

Those toons are funny.

There are many pictures out there that are fake. Of course people are dying, but state where we mocked it. I showed fake ones, nothing else.

Feel free to go there and get pictures. Casualties are being exaggerated, like usual.

General Nick · August 13, 2008, 04:31:52 PM

How can casualties be exaggerated? Like countries would lie to other countries about how many people are dying?

I don't think anyone would do that.

The media does it all the time.

Look at any battle/war and you will see how numbers are so wrong.

Too bad, the Kremlin has demanded Georgia's surrender or else.

They should just call peace.

EDIT: I can't believe they raided Gori! I swear to God, if my castle was ruined even more than it already was >:(
