Don't Look For Any MSM Background To The Caucasus Crisis

Corporate media seems to be in full court press propaganda mode. Top story today at ABC:

Fox News Host Refuses To Talk About Russia-Georgia War, Insists On Covering Edwards’ Affair

Who cares about some war involving a nuclear power with thousands being killed and displaced when there's a sleazy sex expose to cover ad nauseum?
Here's the purpose of that. With only a slight amount of effort you can understand in no uncertain terms that this intense fighting between Russia and Georgia was planned and orchestrated by the US and Israel. It seems to have been set up to coincide with the start of the olympics, another distraction. Your attention is being deliberately focused elsewhere as the situation gets far worse by the hour. Our manipulating overlords want this war to worsen while you blithely soak up the games and tut tut about a possible Edwards love child.

They don't want you to know how the CIA helped install Georgian president Saakashvilli and then plied him with arms, advisors and money. They'd rather you forgot those military exercises between the US military and the Georgian military in the middle of July. Pay no attention to those Israeli advisors guiding Georgian military forces as they attacked Russian peacekeepers. It has no relevance to the bloodshed that Israel has poured equipment into Georgia of late:
"In addition to the spy drones, Israel has also been supplying Georgia with infantry weapons and electronics for artillery systems, and has helped upgrade Soviet-designed Su-25 ground attack jets assembled in Georgia, according to Koba Liklikadze, an independent military expert based in Tbilisi. Former Israeli generals also serve as advisers to the Georgian military."

No, it isn't important either that the US blocked a Security Council resolution, intrduced by Russia, calling on "the parties to cease bloodshed without delay and renounce the use of force."
"Diplomats said that during the closed-door consultations, the council failed to reach an agreement on the Russian text because some council members, including the United States, opposed the part calling on the parties to "renounce the use of force."

Two days in a row.

It's obvious this conflict is meant to worsen. It started with the attack on the peacekeeping force and then dramatically became a crisis when the Georgian military violated a cease fire and completely destroyed the capital city of South Ossetia, Tskhinval.

You're not supposed to understand any of this, but you will be subject to plenty of Russia bashing so you'll know who to blame for this war. Even though the US delegation to the UN is blocking all efforts to address the fighting, the country that has invaded and occupied two nations and slaughtered their inhabitants finds the time to lecture Russia:
"We call on Russia to cease attacks on Georgia by aircraft and missiles, respect Georgia's territorial integrity, and withdraw its ground combat forces from Georgian soil," says the arf arf poodle.

I can just hear the bellicose rhetoric and see the pointing fingers tomorrow on the Sunday press the meat shows.
Russia is being set up as the enemy here, complete with videos of tanks on the move and wailing children, and that's what you're supposed to finally pay attention to. The big bad Russian Bear from the cold war is back and picking on plucky little Georgia.
The reason for brainwashing american sheep into villifying them? I think the fascists are playing the odds here. They're sending a massive naval presense to Iran, probably to try to impose a blockade. This is an act of war. The only countries in the world that can oppose this are Russia and China. Who now happen to be conveniently tied up, respectively, with a dirty little war and the olympic games. So not only will it be harder for Putin to aid Iran in the event that the fascists decide to send Tehran some cruise missiles, the Russians will have been pre sold to american dolts as the new enemy du jour.
