    The majority of North Koreans are not looking to change North Korea, so what? It has to be totalitarian state forever?

    What makes you to believe that these events was organized by authorities? ISIS-supporters and white-suprematists carry out demonstrations in US, it doesn't mean their opinion is an official ideology of US. Far right groups in Ukraine are extremely unpopular, they have less then 2% of public support, less than in most countries in Europe, but they're not forbidden to express their views in peaceful demonstrations.

    It's not Georgians, it's their authorities. Public opinion was against this option. And it was perceived as a betrayal.

    Totally unnecessary. But you wouldn't know that because you've swallowed the WWII mythology like most westerners. Granted, the establishment have been cramming it down our collective throat for decades, so not swallowing it can be difficult. But if you approach the issue with an open mind and view the evidence rationally, you must conclude that the war was unnecessary and that the Brits bumbled their way into it. Even by the most basic criteria, the war was a miserable failure. The Brits and French declared war on Germany because Germany violated Polish sovereignty. Yet the Soviets would occupy Poland for decades after the fact. In other words, the deaths of 50 to 80 million people was avoidable.

    I agree that the Democratic Party is full of liars and crooks. The only entity more crooked and corrupt is the Republican Party especially since it has been coopted by a sleazy pathological lying blowhard. Sad state of affairs to be sure. The US political scene has hit an all time low. The only upside is the late night comedy treasure trove that has been unleashed by these bumbling, lying idiots. Laughter is the best medicine.

    Of course not. Had Hillary won and there was evidence that a foreign entity had meddled in the election to swing it in her favor, the gracious gents in the GOP congress would have simply congratulated her and worked with her to move forward with her agenda. And guys like you and Sean Hannity would be supporting her 100%. It is only these mean darned Democrats who engage in endless accusations and congressional investigations for political gain...lol

    I'm not a westerner.

    The same I can say about you.

    Total deaths:
    France: 600,000
    United Kingdom: 450,900
    United States: 419,400

    Most casualties was due to war in Russia and China. What makes you to believe that these countries would lose less people without help?

    Because I read a lot about different things. If you were in school, then at least you knew that the Turks carved Christians completely. And the Turks wanted to cut out all Georgians and Armenians. Then these nations turned to Russia.

    Your school's history is in great part politicized. And still there is no reasons to believe that Georgian government was publicly supported at the time.

    Any school's history is in great part politicized. Therefore, we need to read different sources and most importantly think and analyze. But I see that you do not know any history, but at the same time you express an opinion.

    Do you want to say that the Georgians in 1801 wanted to remain one on one with Turkey and die as a nation?

    They didn't wanted to join Russia for sure. They've needed it's help but not on such conditions.

    Naturally. Georgians wanted to drink wine, sing songs and dance while Russian soldiers will fight. It was the same with Zaporozhye Cossacks during the times of Bohdan Khmelnitsky. The Poles considered them slaves but Russia considered them to be people. They also wanted to preserve their privileges, but at the same time the Russian army should protect them from the Poles. But it can not be. If they want the protection, then they must sacrifice something.

    They was weak not because they didn't fight.

    No one can be forced to sacrifice their homeland.

    O ... The Georgia conflict?

    Another example of the hypocrisy in Moscow! How had it been back then in 2006?
    Oh yes, I remember ... Putin compares the Georgian government with the Serbian central government in Belgrade, which suppresses Yugoslavia and its minorities, because Tiflis suppresses the Ossetians, etc. same way as these evil Serbs.
    Wait a minute ... Stop! The governing of Tbilisi is as evil as that of Belgrade says Putin, President of Russia?
    Ehm ... and why on other issues is Serbia always a victim of NATO and the good side with the Russian comments? Strange .... very strange!

    If the Brits that died in this unnecessary war could see what became with London and other British cities, they would rotate in their graves.

    Not really. The reporters from all the major news outlets know each other. They talk to each other. They all think alike. They all agree with the Democrat party. It isn't unreasonable to think they would pick up the "evil Russia" story without being told to by the government.

    From what I have read, the "Russia Conspiracy" theory was started by the Clinton campaign. The news outlets would just naturally promote it, since they would want to hurt the Republican side. They will just keep on pushing the story until the people start changing the channel.
