It’s still the same old story, told to the same adoring crowds of “open minded” supporters (and a few mythical Obamacons!). ‘We were attacked on 9/11 by Islamic zealots and we responded by. . . invading Iraq and chasing Saddam Hussein around a secret network of spiderholes.’ What a terrible example America has set–Russia now thinks it can do the same.
Russia’s incursion into Georgia closely parallels the actions the international community took against Hussein since 1990. Wait, dumbass, no it didn’t. It’s not even like that confusing affair in Kosovo, as the Ruskies claim. And Putin didn’t appear to have been stalled the least bit by corrupted allies and a disinformation regime funded by Georgian strategists giddy on the silly money leaking from unenforceable UN transfers.
So, yeah, keep making the morally equivalent jabs. It really seems to be working.
