I suspect that both Russians and their neighbours view NATO as far more organised and ideological than it actually is.<br /><br />the 'NA' in NATO stands for 'North Atlantic'. So what is it doing in West Asia? Looking for a reason to exist probably. I suspect its leaders are not so much ideologues as venal careerists afraid of demotion. Most Brits probably cannot even point to Georgia on the map or know anything of Georgian politics yet would not oppose NATO membership for two reasons:<br /><br />1) They have no option in our wonderful democracy. Both New Labour and the 'opposition' Tories wanted to reward Saakashvilli's superb leadership with NATO membership.<br /><br />2) They couldn't be bothered writing to their MPs or demonstrating, or even reading newspapers. Of course I don't blame them in the last instance because the 'left' and 'right' newspapers in our 'free' media both take the party line that Georgia is a brave little democracy.Gregorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729641571904025752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019578584768795401.post-72191668614580591162009-05-07T01:16:00.000+03:002009-05-07T01:16:00.000+03:00Yes, quite a bit.

Supposably, a whole batch of former generals, who now happen to be backing various opposition leaders, were going to over throw the government. Now this is a video "secretly" taken where this other general is conviniently "briefing" on the coup by explaining every detail and how as soon as the coup is over Russia will come in and annex Georgia.<br /><br />Of course if Russia had wanted that, it would have done that in Aug 08.<br /><br />Of course, everyone but the gov of Georgia has stated that this is nothing but the yearly meladrama...in which, SackOfShitvilli walks in and single handedly berates several officers into surrender and like a bunch of naughty school boys they stand and listen to him reading a lecture before asking for forgiveness.Stanislavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01399899593777065344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019578584768795401.post-71212163652087838952009-05-06T18:49:00.000+03:002009-05-06T18:49:00.000+03:00Just wondering, have you come across anything in t...Just wondering, have you come across anything in the Russian language web regarding the Georgian troop mutiny?<br /><br />I've got nothing, but it appears to have been home grown, because of its small size and general lack of organization.Matthew Saroffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09182726521277446600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019578584768795401.post-26081703124117355522009-05-04T15:27:00.000+03:002009-05-04T15:27:00.000+03:00Interesting that you write this.
