Putin: Georgia Battle Plot Against Obama

It's a little too much conspiracy theory-ish for me, but you can't put it a past Dick "Haliburton" Cheney.

Kremlin dusts off Cold War lexicon to make US villain in Georgia

Russians were told over breakfast yesterday what really happened in Georgia: the conflict in South Ossetia was part of a plot by Dick Cheney, the Vice-President, to stop Barak Obama being elected president of the United States.

The line came on the main news of Vesti FM, a state radio station that — like the Government and much of Russia's media — has reverted to the old habits of Soviet years, in which a sinister American hand was held to lie behind every conflict, especially those embarrassing to Moscow. Modern Russia may be plugged into the internet and the global marketplace but in the battle for world opinion the Kremlin is replaying the old black-and-white movie.
The Obama angle is getting wide play. It was aired on Wednesday by Sergei Markov, a senior political scientist who is close to Vladimir Putin, the Prime Minister and power behind President Medvedev.

“George Bush's Administration is promoting interests of candidate John McCain,” said Dr Markov. “Defeated by Barak Obama on all fronts, McCain has one last card to play yet - the creation of a virtual Cold War with Russia . . . Bush himself did not want a war in South Ossetia but his Republican Party did not leave him any choice.” The Americans were now engineering an armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Dr Markov added.

That's funny. Haven't I been saying that for months, if not years, about old people on here? They're always living in fear. Always afraid of someone.

"The Negro (Obama) is coming. The Negro is coming."

What's really Karl Rovian was how Hillary played on the racial fears against Obama. "He can't get the white vote" when he was. Obama just had an Appalachaian white vote problem.

All the conditions are set for the paranoid old people to mess up this election again. Their old imagined enemy in the Russians is now powerful again and their constant enemy from within, the ethnic minority, has a real shot at being president. Couple that with new data saying that Whites will be the minority in 2042 (lol, all the other ethnicities are one race lol so that makes the Whites a minority against the minorities).

They're really scared now. In boxing, the smost dangerous boxer is one that's wounded and has nothing to lose. Old people have nothing to lose this election.

Interesting stuff -- but, from Tsar Putin's Russia, not surprising.

Too bad the O.P. had to surround it with adolescent paranoid delusions.

 

[Raincoat Massacre]

I have to agree with the whole conspiracy idea, Lost.

 

[Telstra]

conspiracy suck.

 

[MystikWizard]

Hadn't really thought of this angle. It is interesting timing that the Russians decided to pull a stunt like this and invade a country just months before a U.S. Presidential Election.

John McCain for President

It is somewhat far-fetched though, that they would cooperate with a Cheney conspiracy, being that we have been on bad terms with them on Iran and the Missile Defense shield in Poland for many months.

Sweeping generalizations about old people and their appetite for war isn't helpful. The premise that its a plot against Obama seems a stretch, although I wouldn't discount it completely because of Dick Cheney. His motives have always been sinister and beyond the Congress' ability to investigate. The cloak of executive privilege needs to be reexamined after 8 years of abuse under this President.

 

[HeyHeyYouYou]

Oh Come On! So people aren't going to vote for Obama because Russia attacks Georgia and it's some huge conspiracy against Obama? Gimme a break.

 

[Shafted]

The idea that McCain and Bush sparked off this confrontation between Russia and Georgia for political points has been scratching at the back of mind.

And if Cheney is involved. . . .

That sounds like a motive, help us get McCain elected and we'll back down.

Assuming it is a coincidence, which it more than likely is (that the Russians would pull a move like this just before a US election), then they certainly aren't doing themselves any favors ... as this move is only helping McCain ... who is likely to be far more hostile to them then Obama would be.

 

[Txgoodoldboy]

Where was the CIA during all this? How did CIA not know, this was going to happen? You would think with that many Russian troops being moved, they would have been reporting it. Or that the Bushies would have been prepared. But maybe, they wanted it to happen? Bush/McSame would let thousands die just to win an election? I wouldn't put anything past those corrupt Republicans. And it all comes back to oil, three major pipelines in Georgia.
