I'm supporting russia. How about y'all?

11 August, 2008 - 12:45

In before internationalism, I'm supporting Russia for a quick end to this war. 1,000 Georgian troops down 36,000 to go. Anyone fancy a wager?

11 August, 2008 - 12:46

who are the most ethnic looking?

11 August, 2008 - 12:49

Russia are a bit white, Georgians are bordering with Turkey and all that lot so are probs a bit tanned. Stalin was from Georgia.

This is far away, so isn't a real war. Being internationalist on this is like being internationalist on the olympics.

I support my fellow ethnics against Russian tyranny.

11 August, 2008 - 14:30

I am going for Russia, Georgia is just too ethnic.

11 August, 2008 - 14:46

I think its time for Russia to take Turkey, if they build up enough momentum they could get all the way down to Athens and then use the excuse that they started fighting and forgot to stop.

11 August, 2008 - 15:04

The channel four interview had the georgian rep going 'yes we would love a ceasefire, we keep offering a ceasefire, give us a ceasefire please', then the russian rep going 'yes well obviously we'd all like a ceasefire, negotiations are ongoing. In the meantime we must protect our brother russians however'.

Also, the georgian airforce sucks. 9 fighters in total and the South Ossetians claim they brought two of them down without the Russians' help - one with small-arms fire.

11 August, 2008 - 15:07

Russia should just keep fighting lots of countries and them claim they posted on the internet while drunk.

11 August, 2008 - 15:12

Sounds good, one last push by Russia and this nasty war should be over soon.

11 August, 2008 - 15:57

let's go Georgia let's go *clap clap*

11 August, 2008 - 18:22

Come hither, Georgians. All is forgiven.

11 August, 2008 - 19:11

I hope they've repaired Atlanta by the time i go back to visit.

11 August, 2008 - 19:12

lol as if Atlanta can ever be repaired. It's broken, man, just throw it away.

Ah, thanks Jack for creating a more appropriate home for this:

Look, obviously the Russian army are acting in the interests of ethnic Russians but have left it a little late in the day to stop ethnic cleansing on the part of the Georgian government.

In the aftermath of the breakup of the great USSR we are forced to adopt what may, on the face of it, seem like a reactionary and counter-revolutionary position. The Georgians are engaged in the imperialist domination of an ethnic Russian population trapped within its borders. Those who speak of a communist and internationalist solution have the corpses of dead Russian workers in their mouths. Victory to the anti-imperialist forces. Victory to mother Russia.

So obviously I'm supporting the Russians, as a closet Platformist its the only consistent position wink

11 August, 2008 - 21:34

Obviously we have to support the Georgians in memory of Uncle Joe.

11 August, 2008 - 22:17

I'm supporting the Jews, they always end up on top.

11 August, 2008 - 22:19

Georgia appears to be the git here. Russia isn't so hot either.

I'm supporting Ossetia.

12 August, 2008 - 01:50

Ah, but which part Zazaban?

I'm supporting North Ossetia, in the hope that they'll try to break away too, coz that'd be funny, and then they could attack a newly independent South Ossetia, just to keep the region at war.

I'm also supporting Abkhazia, which is apparently another breakaway autonomous part of Georgia, who've tried to take advantage of the Ossetian fighting to push for their own independence....

But mostly, like tigersiskillers, I'm supporting my own people, the eternal overlords, the Jews.

12 August, 2008 - 07:09

I've actually been taking bets on this one.

Current odds are 12:1 for Russia.

There's also a side pot concerning Georgia's subsequent admittance into NATO.

12 August, 2008 - 14:21


I'd be more worried about the impending Spain/China war.

12 August, 2008 - 15:51

Did Spain do Chinaman eyes?
Fuck, that's some brave shit. There like, 2 million people living in China.

even better the pic was for a fucking advert took out in the Spanish press, fucking unbelievable.

though the spanish still have a drinking game on some day that celebratess the christian restoration (ethnic cleansing of muslims and jews) where each drink consumed is referred to as killing a jew.

"You know what'll be really funny before the Olympics?"
'What?'
"getting the whole team to do chinaman eyes"
'yikes, are you sure?'
"Yeah defos, it will be legend"
'i dunno, might look a bit racist'
"Na, everyone will think it's funny"
'Hmm, I guess...'
.... later at team shoot...
"So guys, just make chinaman eyes, don't worry it's not racist anymore
and on the count of 3, say 'number 28, stir-fry mushrooms and black-bean sauce'"

12 August, 2008 - 19:09

I'll take you to Atlanta, and they'll give me the cure

(I wonder if anyone gets this)

13 August, 2008 - 04:14

13 August, 2008 - 20:17
