In the latest ministers meeting of August 23rd 2008, Putin urged for a new strategic development plan to meet the anticipated challenges which the national economy may confront in the near future and till 2020.
At the same time I watched the act and plays of the Georgian president’s Mikheil Saakashvili media warfare using the CNN and BBC as his battle field. He is diluting the fact that he is the aggressor on South Ossetia, while portraying himself as the victim….
“Misha” is the youngest president ever been in power in that part of the world, but does this mean he can act irresponsibly and yet be forgiven. he went into a full attack on an armless South Estonia, and where Russian Peace Keepers are entrusted with peace, without assessing the possibilities of full retaliation; or did he overestimate the USA support?.
If Georgian President has overestimated the USA current abilities and power, then he is too naive to govern…he should understand the USA shall not go for a full confrontation when its aggressive plan for spreading long range missile shield is not yet completed, or while it is busy internally with election and its economy is in shambles.
The admittance of the Georgian Young president on the CNN that he never expected such magnanimous retaliation, brings a question if “Misha” is conscious of the size of his army to that of Russian, and is he aware of Georgia’s Importance on energy and strategy maps!!!?
It is also necessary to ask, if the Georgian President was forced to such position, in anticipation that the eclipse of Bush regime may put him in the shadow for some long time?. I believe, for such strategic miscalculation, which brought destruction on Georgia, the Georgian President ought to be ousted and tried for war crimes and mis-governance.
It seems for the eyes of Mr. Bush and his petro-money a lot of world leaders are ready to put their desteny on the line , either unconsciously or consciously, one of Which is Mr. Sarkozi who is interfereing on issues by proxy for Bush, either in the middle east, Southern Africa or recently in Russia. I shall abstain from discussing Mr. Sarkozi personal life, yet it reflect in some aspects immature behavior; but I would like to ask is this is the same france that confronted a Nazi under Charles de Gaulle, now is rolling under the feet of USA lead by the SARKOZI. Where is the French legacy, History and Culture under Sarkozi?
Was Mr. Sarkozi aware of the history of the coldwar, when he rushed trying to break a “quick fix it” sieze fire and peace treaty between the Russian and Georgia, was he ware that he is trying to diffuse a new cold war that has been brewing since Bush came with his plans for Star War and the abolition of missile treaty . it is shameful that the once great France under De Gaulle and Georges Pompidou, is now underdog for USA.
