Bradley HankinsSince Russia is attacking Georgia basically to gain 1% more of the worlds oil, I have a great plan to attack Russia, and to help our very good friends over in Georgia at the same time. Now, I know you are saying that an attack on Russia would just be plain stupid, and you are right. But who needs to really go to the real fighting zone, when there’s just open land for our troops just to take. Guess what I’m talking about yet? Well, it’s the north pole!Russia quest to gain control of most of the oil this world is producing, the artic region and the north pole are very good places. The research that has been done has said that there is about 25% or so of the world’s oil up north, and right now no one is at it. The artic has been divided into sections for the countries that basically border it. The United States, Canada, Russia, and a few other countries that are less important to this plan have been given claim to their certain area. Russia, however, now claims that the continental shelf of the artic directly connects to the one the connects to Russia, thus, Russia says that technically the land of the arctic and the whol zone is theirs, and they control the oil. They have gone so far as to putting little flags under water to mark their territory.
Now, what should we do?
Well while Russia is being a bully and attacking a much smaller nation and trying to get it’s biggest rival to attack them, we just go the easy route. We can loan money to Georgia, we can even lone money to Russia (but of course more, much more money to Georgia), that way we can get money back from interest, etc. Next, we can take some of those troops not needed in Iraq, and some that we still have here at home and train them for the bitter cold of the north. Once that is done, and we have equpied are vehicals to such hard coniditions, we shall march. We shall plant our flag on the exact north pole, and thus it is ours. We can drill for oil, whatever, but now we got it. Russia can complain all they want to, but we might just be able to sell a bit of land to them if they get out of Georgia, and promise to not attack another country again. You know, a little compromise usually doesn’t do any harm.
So now we got money back from the loans, a large amount of money for some land of the Arctic for Russia, and even more oil for our thrisy selves. This will then lower the price of oil, strengthen the economy, and if our leaders can actually be smart this time we can make America stronger, safer, and more advanced than any other civilization in history.
All of that, and really nothing bad for our military, and we get money out of it. Sounds good?

Well - if it wasn’t for the fact that the U.N. claims the right to make the determination for the arctic continental shelf ownership - and the U.N. is in Russia’s pockets - this wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing:

To do so would piss off Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and Norway as well (all allies). But, as we speak, we have a ship on the way up there to conduct surveys and stake our claims.

We’ll see how this all plays out.

Russia had little to no right to invade Georgia proper (i.e. beyond South Ossetia), and it’s questionable that there was significant cause for them to legitimately invade any part of Sovereign Georgia (including South Ossetia). Any pretext has been set up by Russia over the last year - including granting citizenship to the population of a renegade province in another sovereign country.
Granted I am upset that Mikheil Saakashvili took Russia’s bait, but I have little doubt that if he hadn’t, Russia would have eventually designed another pretext to invade. My greatest fury is at the utter lack of useful response by the Federal Government (i.e. Bush the Coward) and the European Union (i.e. The Useless Gits). We abandoned an ally which is unforgivable. We should have at least made a show of force, such as redirecting a Battle Group toward the Black Sea. What we need to do is push the Russians out of the country and throw down the gauntlet. Diplomacy is useless in dealing with Putin, as can be seen by constant Russian violations of the so called cease fire and its use of Georgian civilians as force laborers (I’d use the term slave labor). Putin means to weaken the Republic of Georgia to the point of utter collapse, and George Bush bears some responsibility by his lack of response to the situation.
Since the US Government and European Union have failed to act, it is incumbent upon the citizenry to do what the government has not. What to do?
1. First, always complain to your Representatives and Senators. Call for any and all means to restore Georgian Sovereignty. This of course will accomplish little to nothing as many politicians are base cowards and sycophants, but you have to try.
2. Domestic Energy - I know we don’t like the topic, but it has to be aired and new sources of fuel, both conventional and alternative must be found and developed.
3. Withdraw any and all investments in Russia and Russian Firms. Call on American companies to not do business in Russia.
4. Protest at Russian consultants and Embassies. Interfere with traffic in and out. Submit bogus requests to waste their time and energy.
5. Take down Russia websites and servers - hackers attack. Cost them as much money as possible.
6. Support Georgian resistance groups when and if the time comes.
7. Actively support separatist groups in Russia proper – give Putin a taste of his own medicine.
