This is breaking news at CNN.com.  Russia attacks Georgia (the country).  The President of Georgia gives his thoughts and comments about this event in an interview with a CNN corespondent.

The President's video speach can be found here:

The story can also be found here:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/08/08/georgia.ossetia/index.html#cnnSTCOther1

Just copy and paste the links in your search bar.

I suggest watching the video first and then read the story.

The whole conflict started with Russia attacking civilians.  If indeed Russia makes this an official war against Georgia, then for sure it would prove to be Georgia's demise.

What are your thoughts and comments?

I was really expecting some dumb kid going ape **** thinking Russia was invading Georgia the State.  I'm Glad thats not the case.

I think Russia has seen how horrible the War in Iraq and Afghanistan has been going for the USA and now they're considering the US weak and making a powerplay to reinstate themselves as a world power again.

Protect Florida and Alabama!

I wonder what the UN thinks of these new developments. If this is going to become an official war, then Russia timed it very well. Controversial elections, an increasingly unpopular war, a lame duck in the White House, and season 3 of America's Got Talent. We'll be paralyzed.

This doesn't surprise me at all.Russia had just rebuilt their army not too long ago.I had a feeling they were going to use it eventually.They just never seem have enough land for their power hungry government do they.Still its interesting to know there is a country named Georgia.

o.O I am Armenian.
Armenia has pretty good relations with Georgia, but not so much with Russia.

Russia wouldn't let a tiny state like Armenia get in the way of it.
