It’s been two weeks that a missile fell near the village of Tsitelubani in Goriysky district of Georgia. Unceasing comments by our military officials are making me astonished more and more about this story. Air Force Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Igor Khvorov just said that the missile was exploded in another place and then its fragments were brought and put into a dug hole. As for President of South Ossetia Eduard Cocoyta, it goes without saying. Of course, he knew from the very beginning that it was Georgian plane and it was going to bomb Ossetians.
The most astonishing statement was done by head of peacemaking troops Marat Kulakhmetov. He said that the “aircraft entered conflict zone from east, then it took a list south-western-wards…discharged the missile turning to north-east and came back to mountainous area”.
Why Head of peacemakers doesn’t know what exactly is situated in the east of Georgia and why he doesn’t know what exactly came from the east – Su-27, or a heron, or a thrush – it’s his business. Maybe, he doesn’t know what flies over his territory. Maybe, that flying stuff got drunk and just dropped a thing.
It’s not that what I’m talking about. The matter is that in a normal state incident of such type may happen with two reasons – to display one’s power or to accuse the neighboring state of provocation and to attack it. In this case, it turns out that the missile was dropped so that Lieutenant General Khvorov could make a statement that Russia has been hurt again.
If the Kremlin doesn’t like Georgia so much, I would understand Russian paratroopers, dressed like Georgian soldiers, penetrating the territory of South Ossetia and making provocation there with the purpose of further intrusion to Georgia with the shouts “let’s avenge our ally!” I don’t say it would be a democratic action. But at least it would be in Stalin’s style - we are a great power and we have borders with whom we want. But to drop a missile just to say “we have been hurt again”, it’s a kind of military-political masochism.
The great power is not that who is hurt by everyone. On the contrary, the great power can hurt everybody. They say liberals don’t love Russia. Why! Liberals can be taught by Kremlin’s masochists to unlove Russia.
It should be noted that it’s not only Georgians who offend Russia. Recently, it has been hurt by businessmen. They cut off power from the Building 11 in Kotelnichesky Lane 5. According to Colonel General Solovyev, that affected country’s defense capability as in the basement of the mentioned building there is communication center that secures anti-aircraft defense of the capital city.
To tell the truth, I was just astonished by that statement. If we are the great power who is in opposition to the new Reich embodied by the USA and who will be the world leader in 21 century, how can it be that some businessmen can annihilate the great power’s air defense just by turning power switch? And if it is not so, and no damage was done to our air defense and the general just talked nonsense using our power’s glory just as a stick in his fight against disrespectful businessman, why this official is still in the army? Why wasn’t he stripped off his straps and didn’t get a goodbye present in a form of a pistol with just one cartridge inside? A liberal should learn much to be able to defame the great power by saying that a house manager is capable of destroying country’s defense. We haven’t heard the like since the incident between former Fleet Commander Kuroedov and captain Kasatonov who commanded Peter the Great, nuclear cruiser. Taking dislike to Kasatonov, Kuroedov said after inspection of the ship done, that the cruiser was out of commission. In the inspection certificate, among other things it was written that the “portrait in the cabin is fixed only on one nail which makes for opportunity of misrepresentation of the portrait’s essence when the vessel is pitching and rolling”.
I don’t know why people in power are cultivating inferiority complex with our citizens. Why they tell us that Russia has been hurt by Georgia, Estonia or Moldova. Or tell that our defense can be destroyed with a power switch turn. Or make foreign experts laugh with that report about Peter the Great vessel. The only thing I know is that no liberal can keep up with them.
