Messages Being Sent.....From Russia with Love,

Their baaaaaccccckkkkkk!!!!!! Though a shell of their former communist self, the Russians are growing strong and have been for quite some time. So as the Russian military throws it's might around on the independent, democratic state of Georgia, what are they actually trying to do? They are attempting to prove a point and their point is simply this. They believe that the American time is past and that now is the time of Russia, China, Iran and the rest of their allies. They are sending a message to the world that Russia under the watchful eye of Tsar Putin.

There were reports a few days ago that Russian planes have bombed a BP oil pipeline but it turns out that they didn't actually hit the pipeline, they missed. Missed? Really? If they wanted to hit the pipeline they would have. If they wanted to take over Georgia they could. If they wanted to take over all the former Soviet States they could. Because who is going to stop them? The United Nations? No way. The U. S.? Perhaps but I don't believe the politicians have the stomach for it to be quite honest.

This is a very precarious situation and a fine line if about to be walked. Russian controls nearly all of the oil and gas that the western European countries need. And Putin knows it. He can very easily hold Western Europe hostage with oil and natural gas. We, as Americans, should be very concerned about the amount of power Russia believes they have. Putin wants to return to the era of a Cold War, the problem with that for the U. S. we are not in a position to go head to head with Russia in our current political environment.
