Title: Western Fellow-Travelers Defend Russian Aggression Name: Isaac City: Bethesda State: US
Western supporters of Putin justify Russia`s threat to all of its European neighbors. I don`t know who Adam Primor is but I know who is the author of his thesis: "Russia is a victim of Georgia but lost a media war." Some of these Putin`s defenders are either paid agents or "useful idiots." That presumes that the whole world are anti-Russian because no country believed the fairy tale of the nice Russian Bear and nasty Georgian Red Hat. It took nearly a month to pressure Belorussian Bat`ko Lukashenko to justify Russian occupants. Who threatens on the daily basis Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine and Georgia? Why all of these countries wanted to be in the NATO? Who attacked Abkhazia? How the Ossetians became all of sudden Russians? And Chechens, Tatars, Bashkirs are they Russians too? Should they have independent states and admitted to the United Nations? The whole world saw Putin, Medvedev, Ivanov, and Lavrov spreading falsehoods about the Georgians committing genocide in South Ossetia and thousands civilians killed. At the same time, the Russian mechanized hordes were destroying and terrorizing Georgia. What we know for sure is that Anatole Lieven, Edik Lozansky, and others will speak up for anything Putin does or says. Now he can pay generously.
