I’m glad that the USA is able to scold CCCP Russia for its invasion of Georgia from our lofty position on the moral high ground. I suppose that the irony of our warning to Russia could be discounted as the delerium of a petroleum besotted empire in decline. While it may not be that bad yet, we certainly have been driven by our political leaders to a remote location in the desert and abandoned.
Western Civilization classes of the future will note that the inability of the USA to constructively engage post-communist Russia was perhaps one of the greatest opportunities lost of the 20th Century.

If you were a weak State and a committed US ally abutted to hostile States… what does Georgia tell you abut US abilties to be more than a fair weather friend? Israel should think about New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina, and FEMA then Asian Georgia. I’d be doing gonzo maintenance on my nukes and their delivery systems. Come 20 January 2009, don’ t take the car out unless it shines.

No, people will be too busy searching for fire-wood to heat their homes.
The momentum inherent in crony corruption and globalism will result in a police state within the next ten years. Game over.
searching for firewood puts a whole new spin on yardsales- energy content. ‘course whole developments of McMansions were apparently never fully furnished. another missed opportunity for alternative energy. drill here, drill now!
McMansions as a natural resource. Or at least the ones not in use for meth production. What if the rodents in the crawl space are on the endangered species list??
