Roberts is mistaken in attributing the anti-Russian agenda to the Republicans: some neo-cons even stood out against the independence of Kosovo whereas Obama’s link to the russophobe Brzezinski is now well known. It appears, rather, that they have stolen the Democrats’ clothes on this issue. They may, of course, be more capable of carrying through on their threats, but the main concern of the Republicans is to hold power in order to stop any repercussions of their crimes of the last eight years. The bizarre and brutal attack on South Ossetia may just have done the trick.

But he ordered the bombing anyway. Read the rest of this entry »

Declaration of the Georgian Peace Committee

Once more Georgia was launched into a situation of chaos and bloodshed. A new fratricidal war exploded with renewed strength on Georgian soil.

To our great disappointment, the alerts of the Georgian Peace Committee and of progressive personalities of Georgia on the pernicious character of the militarization of the country and on the danger of a pro-fascist and nationalist policy had no effect.
