Georgian, Ukrainian officials push for NATO membership

WASHINGTON — Senior officials from Georgia and Ukraine on Wednesday exhorted NATO members to bring the two nations into the alliance in order to protect them from Russia and cement ties with the West.

Georgia, a small post-Soviet nation in the South Caucasus intensified efforts to join the Western military alliance after it lost control of two breakaway provinces in a 2008 war with Russia. Ukraine’s pro-Western leaders are also pushing for membership after Russia annexed its Crimean peninsula and supported pro-Russian insurgents in a two-year separatist conflict in the east of the country. Russia vehemently opposes both bids as a threat to its security.

Yep, the world is closing in on Russia and all it can do is lash out and flop around like a dying fish on the shore line. I suggest they give up on trying to keep old alliances through threats and intimidation.

It's too bad Georgia, on John McCain's encouragement, decided to attack Russia. Maybe they wouldn't have to worry so much about payback. \

And funny thing, McCain was in Kiev too, rah-rah-ing teh coup.

Well, there's one thing I know for sure: everywhere McCain goes, violence is sure to follow.

If I were a nation state, I'd simply refuse him a visa as a persona non grata.
