Hi. Im new on the forum and want to hear your opinion on this.
All your posts here are interesting and perfectly reasonable.
I know there are big events gonna happen in March 2006 and im curious what role will play this one in the scenario.
You can see this headline in almost all russian internet news sites during last 2 monthes - "Georgia prepares for war".
And many(russian officials,Abkhaz & S.Ossetia military command,political scientists ... etc.) believe it will start on march 2006...
Even Georgian officials dont hide the fact they are going to solve the problem militarily.Provocations against Russian peacekeepers now happen every day.Georgia move its main military hospital close to Abkhazian border(Some russian military officials believe the last Georgian activities around S.Ossetia goes as disinformation as the main strike will be against Abkhazia, trying to involve russian peacekeepers in conflict and at the same time to organize pressure on Russia in European institutions forcing them to leave the region.)
I wonder why many beleve the explosion of gas pipeline and electricity route to georgia was architected in Russia.Information about possibility of Georgia to sell its gas pipeline net to GazProm circulated right untill this accident.They even recieved a warning from Washington.
And dont you think this is georgian rehearsal before war?
Unfortunately i cant put links to numerous internet sources about this theme as they are on russian.
Here are some in english:
