[QUOTE=Bad)-(and]I remember reading a story on the BBC website of [B]4[/B] Royal Marines who were pinned down by 200+ Taliban, and still won. And don't go saying something like, "They're Taliban, it's not that hard". From all interviews etc I've read and watched, the Taliban have always been described as a strong fighting force. So yes, "300" scenarios can happen.[/QUOTE] This. In fact, there are quite a few scenarios where it has happened, the battle of Mogadishu, the story behind Bravo Two Zero. A handful of determined, skilled men, can really wreck some shit up, even nowadays.
Somehow i find it fitting that if the US joins the georgian course, this movie should be watched... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4wk6jSNZU8&feature=related[/media]

What did Georgia say to Russia? Hey. Now for this: [URL=http://filesmelt.com/Imagehosting/#cce9be80e6d2c785df5abd8bcbd8dbc0.png][IMG]http://filesmelt.com/Imagehosting/pics/cce9be80e6d2c785df5abd8bcbd8dbc0.png[/IMG][/URL]
[QUOTE=Bad)-(and]The Royal Marines? No. They all survived.[/QUOTE] royal marines + BBC = Propaganda.

I wonder if this situation will change the Doomsday clock?

A 300 type scenario took place in 93' in Somalia too when the 2 snipers killed 130 men trying to save the crew of the downed helicopter. What I was getting at is a couple hundred standard Georgian troops can't fight a few thousand Russians.
[QUOTE=Linelor]At this point I don't trust either one of them. Not being racist or trying to offend anyone but you can't trust anyone from that region. Ever since the USSR collapsed it's been a shithole of lies and war.[/QUOTE] I think you mean any Government or Media from that region.
[B]Breaking News[/B] Russian Defence Ministry Denies Troops Entered Georgian Port of Poti So Russia just entered Poti, i see. Why is it everytime russia denies anything, it actually does it?
Bush is gonna give a speech about this in like 15 min. Let's see if he says anything significant.

[QUOTE=Pvt. Ryan]The Taliban didn't have armor or air support now did they. Russians are a lot different than backwater terrorist groups.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I know. I have no doubt that Georgia is fucked. I was just disproving... can't remember his name.
I wonder how much your average FP'er would enjoy a war if it was in his own country?
a lot of people seem concerned that this will start WWIII but i think they also fail to realize that [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991%E2%80%931992_South_Ossetia_War]a war almost exactly the same as this one[/url] happened in the early nineties and nobody remembers.

He'd better not stir anything up.
Bush nicknamed Putin "Pootie-Poot" [url]http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/may/20/russia.usa[/url] They're close friends.

[QUOTE=TheBlackViper]a lot of people seem concerned that this will start WWIII but i think they also fail to realize that a war almost exactly the same as this one happened in the early nineties and nobody remembers.[/QUOTE] They're not concerned, they're hopeful.
[QUOTE=lurgic]I wonder how much your average FP'er would enjoy a war if it was in his own country?[/QUOTE] Ireland, The Troubles. If I was born I wouldn't have enjoyed that one bit.
Hahaha Pootie Poot. Sort of adds a childish visage to a man who is has a lot darker history. [b]Edit:[/b] [QUOTE=Conscript]It would be an unpopular war[/QUOTE] Not if American bases in Georgia are attacked.

But they fought off the Taliban for 4 hours before an Apache showed up
