Texas Prepper’s Network: Mistakes I Have Made - Part 1
I firmly believe that we can learn from both our Successes and our Mistakes. I also believe that we learn more from our Mistakes than from our Successes, at least that has been my own personal experience. The Lord knows that we all make many, many Mistakes as we grow in life.

She Survives: pathetic rhetoric and soapmaking
Why do they not see the threat? It is right there, breathing down our necks. Who cares if the Russian army is not totally at level with the US…we can’t win a war where the army/seperatist/insurgents are at a level far below. That is where the threat lies folks.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against the Polish missile base. The Poles want it, the guberment gave it. But to dismiss the threats of a country whose military most closely rivals our own is stupid. Especially considering the bear has shown that it is quite willing to bite.

Bush Says Breakaway Provinces Part Of Georgia As Abkhazia Calls For Independence | AHN | August 21, 2008
Orlando, FL (AHN) - President Bush declared Wednesday that two breakaway provinces of Georgia are part of the former Soviet republic.

The declaration was made on the same day Abkhazia, one of the provinces, appealed to Russia to recognize its independence.

“South Ossetia and Abkhazia are part of Georgia, and the United States will work with our allies to ensure Georgia’s independence and territorial integrity,” Bush said in a speech before veterans attending the Veterans at Foreign Wars convention here, according to Voice of America.

Russia’s Return Bites the Neocons’ Grand Energy Scheme in the Ass | Know The Lies - Controlled from cradle to grave… Sick of it? Stand up before it’s too late!!!
So, this asinine policy has now come to grief. Not only does Russia stand to gain control over the Baku-to-Ceyhan pipeline, but we now have every indication that they will bring the states on its southern flank back into an active sphere of influence, and there is really not a damn thing that the US can pretend to do about it.

This must be an equally sobering moment for Europe, and an additional reason for the recent plunge in the relative value of the Euro, for Europe is now at the mercy of Russia in terms of staying warm in the winter, running their kitchen stoves, and keeping the lights on. Russia also exerts substantial financial leverage over the US in all the dollars and securitized US debt paper it holds. In effect, Russia can shake the US banking system at will now by threatening to dump its dollar holdings.

The Congress Blog » Georgia’s Nato membership on track, says David Miliband
“I think the formal process kicked off yesterday with the establishment of a Nato-Georgia commission, and we have taken seriously the commitments the heads of government made in April,” Miliband said. “It’s an important signal but there is also important substance to it.”
