It’s war! And we have already lost it in something...

The war in South Ossetia has clearly showed us several things: first, finally the Russian Government has a will. It could be questionable then for how long this will could last? Heaven forbid us from repeating the Chechen plot of the first war, when the politicians were playing war games without letting the army make its work professionally and with dignity. It is very desirable that the rhetoric would not differ from the actions, moreover now all the possibilities are present. It is obvious that the truth is on our side and that we have defend the weak, and the aggression of Georgia looks disgusting. I would note that it strangely looks like our internal attitude towards the Georgian criminals in our country, where everything is allowed by them. For some reason we fight against Georgian aggression in South Ossetia but in our own country we let them earn money in the black market in the same aggressive manner as always, part of the profit of which is to be sent to their native land and to support the criminal regime of Saakashvili. It seems that consistency is needed in this question too. I speak exclusively of those making illegal business and performing criminal activity.

With great sorrow I have to state that we completely lost the information war. What they say of us abroad is terrifying. Saakashvili can be seen everywhere strongly resembling Hitler, tossing himself around, with a puckered mouth and with an idiot fringe, crying that Russia started aggression against Georgia. Yet, not a word is said that the Georgians first destroyed Tskhinvali and shot civilians and peace-makers. I do not even mention that Saakashvili has to be judged by the Hague Tribunal as an international criminal for the use of heavy artillery and "GRAD" multiple rocket launchers being used against living quarters. This is, for those who do not know, that "GRAD" launchers cover whole districts in their power. This weapon cannot "find out" who is right and who is guilty, and when the military hostilities destroy the whole network existing on a huge area (not only military facilities but the living quarters as well), it becomes clear that Saakashvili had a purpose to destroy the Ossetian people physically, and he succeeded in this killing by 2000 people in 1 day. If the European community judges Karadjich for genocide, so, obviously, Saakashvili has to be next in line.

Still, I, as a professional, have a question with the authorities: so much money was spent to make a so-called positive presentation of Russia abroad. A not-so-bad channel called Russia Today was created, the quantity of monies used was bigger than needed, but what is the result? Isn’t it clear that Russia Today alone is not enough to cover truthfully the events in order to create a positive image of Russia? Why? Surely there are guys with a good command of English, and talented speakers. But no, nobody hears them. The speakers of Georgia are seen everywhere but those shown from our side are not… Yes, Lavrov is good, Medvedev and Putin are good as well, naturally, but there is nobody else. Nobody!

I called my friends, who are waiting to be sent to Ossetia, they are dashing guys, with chests covered in decorations… I asked them to take care of themselves. Because they do their work, there is no doubt, but I want them to come back alive. The guys from the very 45th regiment are already there, the regiment that became notorious after the case of Kholodov. But nobody knows their real professional abilities. The specialists know. But the wider audience has no clear vision. They work bravely there. Interestingly, have you ever been told the truth about the performance of our soldiers? And they have what there is to be proud of… And to be proud of those people who survived these shots and did not surrender in Tskhinvali. Here are the real heroes!! Not «Dima Bilans», and not football and hockey players, but these men and women who woke up at night as the war came into their homes.
