The larger dilemma facing the (USA) administration is how to show Russia that it made a serious mistake in invading Georgia, without making Moscow feel even more isolated and aggressive. In the view of administration officials, the new Russia has one foot in the 21st century and a growing stake in ...

Russia is no longer need to feeed their poor economies. What is freedom for Chechnya? Is it to be under Muslim Fundamentalists in abject poverty wi...

Edward Lucas’s book The New Cold War caused a stir when it was released a little while back. Now Lucas must be feverishly scribbling a new forward to the second edition, perhaps entitled ’see, I told you this would happen’. We at SOS have always admired Lucas, but before August many of us considered...

Please, exuse my bad english. If you think that Russia started this war, that Russia is the agressor - so why are Bagapsh and Kokojti (presidents of South Osetia and Abhazia) are G-R-A-T-E-F-U-L? Why are they HAPPY that they now have got the independence? Just simply they are blind :) If Cosovo had...

Eka: "Georgians are acting and thinking about future, Russians (sorry government) is acting without any analyze". Don't laugh me!!!! Georgia is thinking?! Your President is thinking without your help. And he thinks about destroyng his "neighbours". I think mush better acting wit...

Girogi, if you are sure that it is not Georgia-Ossetian conflict but Georgia-Russian, in this case I can approve that it is war between Russia and the USA.

Why would democracy be bad for Chinese?? It has never been tried. Never. So how can you pretend that? In most of examples, in which totalitarian regime has brought some "law and order" which was needed and the nation after that has became prosperous - could democracy not have done the sam...

Its not about Georgian TV vs. Russian. I am sure that during the war in particular, every government will try to limit information which is against its ideology and it is Ok. However, there must be some other way to get as much information as possible from internet or from other sources and than we...

It is this force that brought Russian tanks into Georgia and scar...

The 1990s were largely ideology-free in Russia. The country was too weary of grand designs and too preoccupied with economic survival. When Putin came to power in 2000, he said Russia's national idea was "to be competitive." But then, as the price of oil climbed and Russia started to feel...
