Is it just me or is this Georgia thing getting more than a little scary

[Andy Moynihan]

It's not just you.

Let's just be honest here, this is not just Russia causing trouble. The US is doing its fair share of saber rattling as well.

This was a region that Russia considered under its protection and was a break away from Georgia, Fighting broke out between the break away region and Georgia, Russia stepped in. Now I'm not saying Russia was in the right, no one there was.

But how does this have anything to do with the US?

I see the US engaging in wars with less justification, threatening one against Iran because they are building nuclear power plants, and putting more missles in place aimed at Russia.

Russia might be showing its teeth, but so is the US. Neither country can claim innocence.

Unfotunate truth is war, or at least threat of war is good for political careers, I imagine that holds true in both countries. But right now I think Russia has as much reason to be worried about the US as the US has to be worried about Russia.

Don't worry, it'll all be over soon.
