This is actually pretty interesting.  This is a thousand troops that the Marines can use to do all sorts of violent things with, and with no limitations.  But the most interesting aspect is Georgia wants in NATO, and this is kind of a double sided insurance policy.
   On one side, a move like this […]

     Oh my, this gets more interesting every day. Of course Georgia and the West does not recognize this latest move.  It sounds like Cheney is inbound to Georgia, along with a few warships.  And I guess the Russians are implying that they will ‘militarily’ deal with the missiles in Poland?  Wow, this thing is […]

    Well, I have been busy with trying to find the unique stories and angles out there that no one is covering, and I think I may have found one.  Who has heard of the Israeli companies Global CST or Defensive Shield?  I have never heard of them, but I tell you what, they are […]

     Hey, check this out(thanks to Scott and Doug for the heads up).  The Russians are not leaving, they are taking prisoners, and they are making a mockery of the ceasefire.  But what was interesting with this article, was another cameo of the VSS Sniper Rifle in the photo that accompanied this article.  This […]

   Hey guys and gals, I have a real treat for FJ readers in regards to the latest developments going on in Georgia.  We have a guest author who lives in Georgia, but is currently working in Iraq, who has written a gem of an article.  Chris is his name, and he has graciously allowed me to […]

     Doug pointed this out to me, and I thought it was interesting.  We found at least three seperate photos from Reuters of Russians carrying this weapon system into Georgia.  It has a range of 400 meters as well.  
     How they deploy these things over there, I don’t know.  And I have […]

     So with the ongoing war in Georgia, it is important to figure out how all of this impacts the world and what are the prime motivations of Russia.  It is clear to me now that Russia had no intention of sticking with just protecting rebels in Georgia.  I think the overall motivation was […]

     Here come the Cossacks!  In this article, they talked about how these volunteer troops are getting issued a uniform and hopping on a bus to go to the war.  That they would be issued a weapon when they got there.  LOL
 
     Typical of the Russians to pull this latest move.  They […]

     So I guess you are probably wondering, what the hell is going on in Eastern Europe?  Are we seeing another Chechnya unfolding before our eyes?  Who knows, but I guess the latest death toll from this conflict is 1400(unconfirmed) and this could get bloodier.  I know we are trying to diffuse this, but […]
