Vice-president Biden's message is clear. Then, if russian decisions'makers did not understood it; it is obvious that their people will have something to worry about. This american insolence cannot go on for ever ! Sorry Future Generations ! Best Regards... Jean-Claude Meslin

It shows us all that the American agenda to control the world on American terms has not changed. American politicians still do not understand that we live in a different society nowadays. Russia will be prudent to change little in her policy.

I think that mister Biden should learn something from very recent history, and abandon his strange, double-faced rhetoric. Saakshvili and weapons are dangerous combination. And Saakashvili also should learn that US will not support them. It is only illusion. Sooner (he learns) is better.

I wonder if Biden is playing a game with Saakashvili, sort of saying, "We will back you all the way!" but careful not to promise anything in weaponry larger than a pea shooter. USA can "recognize Georgia's territorial integrity" all day without doing a thing about it. I wonder if our new administration is actually more thoughtful than the previous one. Maybe Biden has been told to promise the Georgians nothing. AND maybe he is following orders, for a change! If that is true, then I wonder what Saakashvili will say when he realizes he has been "cut adrift". Will there be a "tell all" interview on CNN or FOX? I would be willing to watch TV again if there was.

I am an American. I also think our policy on Georgia and Russia's near-abroad is loony. If America has its Monroe Doctrine to keep European imperialists out of our hemisphere, it is equally appropriate that Russia will have strong influence on the nations upon which it borders. It is doubly to be expected that Russia will respond forcefully to a crazy man like Saakashvili who wants to start a war that upsets a very stable situation that prevailed in Ossetia before August of last year. Ethno-nationalist politics are complicated obviously. There is no easy way to say Ossetia can secede from Georgia but not Kosovo from Serbia. I generally do not support ethnic separatists, but every situation is different. I especially don't support Islamic separtist movements in Serbia, Bosnia, or the Caucuses. For instance, I do not support the movement by certain extremists Islamists in Chechenya to separate from the Russian Federation. That all said, 99% of these issues are local, have nothing to do with U.S. interests, and our involvement only succeeds in alienating a nation that I believe could and should be an essential ally in America's conflict with Islamic extremism. Foreign policy is not paid much attention to by most Americans. It is the subject of a smallish clique of devotees in DC. On Russia in particular, certain elements (mostly on the Right) want to relive the Cold War, and other elements (mostly on the Left) want to relive Russia's cowed position in the 1990s and suppress Russia's national reawakening of culture. Neither policy is sustainable or in America's interest. I'd rather see a confident, well-governed and strong Russia that can work with the U.S. on issues of mutual interest. And I certainly don't think we should have military or other alliances with nations like Georgia that are unstable, have nothing to do with the U.S., and where the U.S. would likely not fulfill its military commitments in the end because of fickle US public opinion.

With this puppet government in Georgia it is only a matter of time until more false flag attacks in Georgia are blamed on Russia to support more basis and more "security" forces pour into the region to further destabilize things and keep two hemispheres at the proper level of fear so we all accept the loss of our rights so that "crazed foreigners, who hate our freedom" come and kill us in our sleep-who needs drugs this is nuttiest trip I've ever seen!! Keep on fighting the good fight!!

i believe this is a terreible idea! and whats worse is that no american media reports on anything so we dont learn anything but luckily i have found rt and have learned the truth and i agree with your president medvedev because the us will serouisly mess up if it gives military aid

Is's harmful,this american plan is harmful for the caucasian security.They back an unworthy government and it would prompt them to try to attack South Ossetia and Abkhazia again
