US attempts to get Georgia into NATO, coupled with its desire to erect an anti-missile defense shield in Poland and the Czech republic would give it first strike capability towards Russia. Moscow sees this as a national security threat against the sovereignty of Russia. Political economist F William Engdahl believes this is the geopolitical endgame being played out in Georgia.

Thank you again therealnews.com Here is a perfect example of news that you don't hear in any major news source in the US. It's become almost certain that every news heard on the big US networks can not be trusted and that is quite the reverse of what is really happening.

One can almost smell the foul stench of America and the Illuminati at work; like Kosovo! Provocation is what they are expert at. Using people's own fears and prejudices against each other. Question: why are the honourable always duped by the cunning? Can there be no honour with awareness?! The day that people wake up to the game is the day that 'the Elite' will die and not the billions they have planned to exterminate through geo-political wars, Codex Alimentarius, G.M.O.(Monsanto), vaccination programmes on Africans, kids, teenagers & sick people, food control and reduction through inhuman manipulations and so-called disasters, seed control (Monsanto/Rockefeller again), dumbing down the education & health systems, and with the imminent release of 'first strike' nuclear weapons: the destruction of a large part of the human race through radiation poisoning and the resulting pollution causing all kinds of debilitating illness and eventual death. How else can you reduce the worl

The solution to American intentions in Georgia is very simple: Russia should place nuclear missiles in Cuban territory again, then they will be able to suppress Washington's hypothetical strategic advantage. Welcome to the New Cold War; by the way, let's see how the Dragon is going to behave after the Olympic games are over...we may witness unexpected responses coming from China (ordinary Americans should better start saving their money and convert it into silver or other precious metals).
