Willful Naïveté Killing Ecuador; Willful Lying by "amb" Gallegos is a Crime (ecrisis)

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 14:09:00 GMT

August 24, 2008 Recently Ralph Peters said of the EU and USA's pathetic response over the attacks on Georgia by Putin's Russia: "While it may be unhelpful to be an alarmist, it's even less useful to be willfully naïve." We agree and note the identical truth of this that applies to Ecuador in its irresponsible and dishonest attack on all that Western Civilization stands for even though...

The End of The Fairy Tale (The Black Kettle)

sprayriver@yahoo.ca (Tim) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 16:18:00 GMT

By Ralph Peters: A specter is haunting Europe-the specter of Putinism. Confronted by a masterful Russian leader without living peer in brilliance or ruthlessness, the continent sorely lacks leadership and a sense of common purpose. In their muddled reactions to the Kremlin's invasion of Georgia, European states revealed a gap in perceptions that threatens to deepen: Those who suffered...

One thing Russia didn’t have to contend with previously (QandO)

feedback@qando.net (McQ) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 07:28:51 GMT

G iven the points that Ralph Peters makes about the West and Russia, there is one new aspect of this old game that Russia didn’t previously have to concern itself with: Russia has seen foreign reserves decline, a sign that the market is more nervous about investing in the region since the recent conflict in Georgia. Central Bank figures show reserves were sharply down in the week ending...

Col. Peters grips his pen and moans, "Tell the dead in Georgia." ...because evidently, telling the dead in some other place would have been the right thing to do, especially if the country started with the letters I, R, and A. And what's funny here is that Ralph Peters is making an argument against Russia's invasion in Georgia, and against any intervention in that invasion, that...

Ralph Peters on Georgia and Putin…Any Questions? (Pierre Legrand's Pink Flamingo Bar)

Well this just about covers it. Dangerous times we live in…dangerous. In the twisted, pretzel-logic world of the hardcore Left, it does. Well, what solutions does the war-doesn’t-change-anything Left bring to the party now, in Georgia? We’ve seen how earnestly Putin & Co. take negotiations and cease-fire agreements, how carefully the Russians observe UN resolutions and international law. What measures...

DEVIL SENT DOWN TO GEORGIA By RALPH PETERS August 18, 2008 – OVER the weekend, photographic proof emerged that the Russians used mur derous Chechen mercenaries to do their dirtiest dirty work in Georgia: The ragtag unit in question is so vicious that, last April, Chechnya’s Russian-installed “president” demanded it be disbanded.

Ralph Peters, NY Post: AS the Russian Dark Lord's shadow falls across the shires of freedom once again, the response from the West has been confused, belated and inadequate: fear eclipsed courage; ignorance masqueraded as wisdom; and, in "Old Europe," greed vanquished justice. Russia won. Diplomacy failed. No state or alliance will reverse the decision. When President Bush spoke out...
