I like the double standards used by Russia - Kosovo's not allowed to be independant of Serbia But they'll supply aid and weapons to Abkhasia and South Ossetia against Georgia:hmm: |
You know, that logic could be turned around. The NATO supports Kosovo independence from Serbia but they supply weapons to Georgia to suppress the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Eh, it's a double-standard world. Frankly, let's throw out comparisons to regions that have nothing to do with the Caucasus here. They're not going to do any good. The fact is that Georgia's regime is officially very not nice and extremely nationalistic, not to mention with a very bad history with Abkhaz and Ossetians who counted on Russia's patronage for a long, long time now for protection from Georgia's own ambitions in the region. However you slice that, it's a fact and it has nothing to do with Kosovo. Let's keep the topic in focus here. For one, Georgian promises to celebrate the next year in Tshinvali (which they repeated a number of years in a row now) have always sent shivers up my spine. Last time we've had Georgia's way in Tshinvali or Sukhumi, things were not pretty.
