If the people of the world are being asked to judge the actions of the Russian Federation through press reports based on the information that is presented to them, then it would be a good idea to begin from a viewpoint whereby the international media presents the truth and not some half-baked subjective attempt to package the story in a way that is hostile to Moscow.
For a start, Moscow has been careful to inform the world media through a tireless campaign from its press attaches at its Embassies, whereby the Russian Foreign Ministry has provided detailed information as to Moscow’s constant attempts to broker a peace deal in South Ossetia, constantly stressing the need to satisfy both Tblissi (Georgia) and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia). Where has this information appeared in a single western news outlet? It has been systematically ignored in a massive attempt at misinformation.
Secondly, hours after it announced a ceasefire, Georgia instructed its peacekeeping forces to attack the Russian peacekeepers in the area, an act which raises questions as to the sanity of Georgia’s President Mikhail Saakashvili and more seriously, to the intentions of Washington, which along with Tel Aviv, has hundreds of military advisors supporting the Georgian armed forces. How could this attack not have received approval from the puppet-master who pulls Saakashvili’s strings?
Russia’s actions before the conflict broke out were under the sphere of a legitimate and legally backed peacekeeping force and its reaction to this cowardly act of murder by the Georgian armed forces continues to be that of a peace-keeper, while at the same time providing humanitarian aid for the growing number of refugees. Hospitals have been set up and Moscow has approved billions of RUR for a rebuilding fund, given that the Georgia military exacted tremendous damage on residential areas in Tskhinvali and the surrounding area.
Let the people of the world judge the actions for what they are, not what they are wrongly reported as being. When President Bush condemned Moscow’s reaction is unacceptable, was he then giving his tacit support to the acts of ethnic cleansing carried out by Georgian troops in the early hours of their cowardly back-stabbing attack under cover of night and salvoes of missiles aimed at the heart of civilian residential areas in the capital?
When President Bush and Secretary of State Rice condemn Moscow, are they then giving their approval to the murder of 2.000 civilians by Tblissi and the internal dislocation of 40.000 others? Do they then approve of Tblissi’s announcing a ceasefire and then launching a massive attack against civilians?
