Georgia

As the stealth-Marxist Kremlin orders up its Black Sea Fleet to prepare for sea-based bombardments of Georgian critical infrastructure, OPORD finds it necessary to illustrate that we predicted this conflict far in advance of its triggering:

 

 

The KGB Redux – November 27, 2006

Quote: “Separatists: Putin has shown remarkable resilience in keeping Russia together in the face of an increasingly separatist geopolitical environment. Chechnya, Ossetia, Georgia, the Caucuses, the Ukraine and the Baltic States are just some examples of the pressures that the Russian government is experiencing in the post Cold War world. Any number of these circumstances could cause a movement against Putin and his government and these folks would have an interest in doing so.”

 

 

Putin’s Russia – July 3, 2007

Quote: “ 4)  The Caucuses: President Putin believes that the next conflict that will draw in Russian military forces will emerge in the Caucuses.”

 

Quote: “Putin sealed this point when he returned the Red Star “Red Army” to the Russian Army, several weeks ago. Putin is also very sensitive of attempts to remove and do away with Soviet Era monuments and other decorations to sacrifices made by the Russian people under communist rule.”

 

 

Kosovo – February 28, 2008

Quote: “Russia’s abandoning of the Conventional Forces in Europe treaty was initiated specifically for the very outcome witnessed today in Southern Europe. The Russians do not need to be a partner to a treaty that will see them move conventional forces west to wage war in Ossetia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Georgia and other locations.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

The war between Georgia and Russia (reemerging Soviet Union) is being fought for very specific reasons:

 

  • The Russians do not want Georgia joining the NATO Alliance.

 

  • The Russians do not want the deployment of the Missile Defense Shield in their geopolitical space.

 

  • The Russians are venturing into new territory by defining national defense through “ethnic heritage” rather than internationally recognized borders which are exclusive to nation-states. What this means is that since Russia believes citizens of so-called “South Ossetia” are chiefly of “Russian” heritage and hold Russian passports, they do not belong to the territorial sovereignty claims of Georgia as a nation-state. This is a very dangerous development.

 

  • The Russians want to sever western efforts to create and manage energy pipelines through the Caucuses region.
