Russia Never Wanted a War: Mikhail Gorbachev (Opinion)

"Forgive me, Mr. Gorbachev, if I don't quite buy this story. The invasion of Georgia, with its attack on civilians, is far too reminiscent of another Russian invasion: Czechoslovakia."

I must state, that the trouble is there are those that want to have us judge Russia on its Comunist history. Yes the Putin system is a facist based one, its strict as was the Communist one. If Russia wanted war it would of done so a long time ago and really expanded its borders.

Russia's stragic plan after World war II, was to surround Russia with satillite states this was a form of buffer zone. It was more worried about people making war with Russia than the oposite.

This last action by Russia can not be blamed on the Russian's it was the Georgians that struck first. Where as Russia's very heavy hand  in Czechoslovakia.the blame can be firmly placed on Russia and rightfully so.

But lets look at the balance between Russia and USA and we can see both have sinned and both are not holy than thou. This bloody stupid chess game both powers are playing could head the world in to another World War. Its time they both sat down and talked about their interest and worked together to make the world a better place and not start these damn silly and dangerous problems over oil and power. Their are innocent lives being lost and destroyed by the bastards in power that love to play silly games.
