Londoner ,   London, UK   (08.19.08)
...the Ossetians, Iran, and Syria. The US is arming the Georgians and the Egyptians. Iran is arming Hizbullah. China is arming Sudan and Zimbabwe. Britain arms Saudis. And the list goes on and on.
2. Supplies go both ways
Gliker ,   IL/TX   (08.19.08)
I bet we can put a much more extensive list on the supplies the hypocritical Russians are giving to the nuke loving Iranians and our Arab enemies throughout the last 60 years. Stupid Jew haters
3. So Russia never supplieas arms to anybody
JACK ,   London   (08.19.08)
So Russia never supplies nor trains Syria, Iran (including atom reactors) Hizbollah and every Loony tune with a grudge against Israel And USA. They are angels.............of death
4. NICE WORK ISRAEL! RUSSIA'S BACK TO STALIN
stude ham   (08.19.08)
AND ITS BOLSHEVIK COMMUNIST PAST... These backward steps will go down in history and be known as PUTINISM.
5. Bear coming to eat you
Russian bear ,   Bear land   (08.19.08)
The Bear is on his way to eat you guys so you better run and hide
6. Dear Russian generals
israeli ,   israel   (08.19.08)
Please tell us exactly how many Katyushas and RPG's you provided for Hezbollah via Syria; how many airplanes and tanks you gave to Egypt and Syria when they waged war against us (in fact you waged war against us); how many army experts you dispatched to Arab countries in order to wage war against us; how many PLO terrorists you trained; also, why do all terrorists use AK assault rifles? And the list goes on an on.
7. Considering Russia arms Iran with nukes..
Ilan ,   Ariel   (08.19.08)
Chutzpah or just a larger measure of vodka?
8. israeli aid to Georgia
leib ,   madison wisconsin us   (08.19.08)
don't forget the Kornet anti tank missiles Russia provided Hezbullah nor the missile technology Moscow has given to Iran and the training inside Russia it gave to Iranians working on missiles (from Brezhnev to Putin with no interruption under Yeltsin) nor the nuke reactor. And yes the Russian security forces in Gaza and Russia's independent mechanized brigade in Lebanon
9. livni and russia
Alexi   (08.19.08)
So much for livni kissing russia's derriere. Now russia will pay israel back by selling more weapons to iran and syria and expanding its naval facilities in syria. Livni is inclined to run into her office when there is any sign of pressure.
10. None of these weapons is a threat to Russia
Jake   (08.19.08)
and even this General has admitted that a larger scale military supply deal was scrapped. So what is he compaining about?
11. re:#5 Bear coming to eat you
Sol ,   Toronto, Canada   (08.19.08)
The bear has been coming for 60 years, arming all of israel's enemies and today providing nuclear technology to Iran and missles to Hizbollah! Luckily the bear is a big lumbering stupid animal - powerful but stupid. Only a matter of time before those nukes you are giving to iran end up leveling Moscow - stupid lumbering animal.
12. Hmmm. A Russian Scud fired by Iraq
Millie ,   Israel   (08.19.08)
almost hit my house during the Gulf War in 1991. Several of my friends in the Carmiel area suffered home damage and psychological trauma from Russian-made Katyushas fired by the Hizbonazis that hit their homes, and in one case the car she was in, in 2006. And this claptrap Russian dog has the gall to diss the Israelis for supplying Georgia!
13. russia
isaac givon ,   toronto canada   (08.19.08)
Iknow that somhow sombudy will blam Israel .
14. GLIKER IN DISTRESS?......#2
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (08.19.08)
I thought the article related to what Israel gave in form of trainng and equipment to the Georgian armed forces.Where did the the Russian military sales to Iran come from? Very soon,Russians will transfer heavy weaponary to Iran.You should have waited to write at that time.
15. Bear is on its hind legs and looks like Godzilla
Chrisona ,   Chicago.IL   (08.19.08)
This Russian stunt has produced an altered dynamic for sure. These accusations, so laughably hypocritical otherwise (yes, it's probably the vodka), show that Russia has Israel on the brain as well as Georgia. A potential Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear weapons facilities now needs additional thought.
16. And...
Gunther ,   USA   (08.19.08)
Russia has been arming the Arabs for 50 years and Russian pilots pretending to be Egyptians flew sorties against Israelis in 1967....time to give them a taste of their own medicine
17. #6 It's business, greed and theft...
Edithann, USA   (08.19.08)
Come off it..are you serious? I see the new propaganda 'shtick 'is Russia is responsible for Hamas too..When Jewish Oligarchs were stealing Russian oil..Israel was their friend..When Putin took it all back..Russia is the enemy... Do Israeli's ever question their responsibility in the whole nightmare of Palestine? Why should the Palestinians give up their homes and lands to the Jews? Why should they not get help in their struggle.?.. Israel wanted oil from Georgia.. Palestinians want their homes and lands..What part of that don't you understand or comprehend? TATA
18. #14
Jane   (08.19.08)
Mahmood, you are a real trickster. Literal but not accurate. Russia has been instrumental in the Iranian pursuit and development of nuclear weapons. Wouldn't even you have to admit that has to do with arming Iran?
19. THE RUSSIAN BEAR IS A TEDDY BEAR...A JOKE
(08.19.08)
20. RUSSI GIVES WEAPONS TO IRAN AND CONSTRUT NUCLEAR PLANT
(08.19.08)
FOR IRAN !
21. Edithann #17
israeli ,   israel   (08.19.08)
No, dear, it's the US and the West that are worried about the oil pipeline in Georgia, not Israel. It is in fact the US that is worried about oild supply, that is why the US liberated Kuwait in 1991 and that is why US troops are deployed in Iraq. And that's as far as I am willing to go because I love America and the American people and I will not badmouth those whom I love.
22. Obviously we need to change the sales
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.19.08)
What Georgia needs is anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-tank weapons by thousands.
23. Yeah Russian Bear, you are coming like a fish on a hook.
DANNY ,   America   (08.19.08)
But your mind has been darkened to these facts. What has caused this? Oh you proud defiant people! Your still under God's control and will someday be utterly humiliated, Oh... but that happened already... the name Reagan ring a bell? I guess God has something else in mind!
24. #17 "Tata"
Chaim ,   USA   (08.19.08)
Russia is not responsible for arming Israel's enemies for the past 60 years because "Jewish Oligarchs were stealing Russian oil"? Your logic makes no sense. Your antisemitism blinds your ability to think logically. Israel wants oil from Georgia? So? It's called international commerce. Nothing wrong with that unless you are a Marxist. In terms of the "Palestinians struggle." I won't touch upon that because your facts are too mistaken to explain in this short note.
25. #17 IDIOTTHAN, once again you have given us a spectacular
insight of your IQ-0 ,   TATA!!!! Israel   (08.19.08)
26. to 17
(08.19.08)
u r of course refering the the well known state of palestine which the jews occupied, right? russia was in war with israel, during several wars russians manned the arab anti air guns and israeli pilots showed russian pilots flying for the arabs who is better get off your high horse, poland stole german land, russia stole polish land, USA stole mexican land. That is fine with you, right? but when jews return to their own land, you get excited. how hypocritic can one get????
27. edithann
Psalms83 ,   Selah   (08.19.08)
Palestinians want their homes and lands..What part of that don't you understand or comprehend? ================= interesting isn't it -that writtin into the charters of hamas ,hezbelah and fatah - the complete removal of israel and the jews from the land they call palistine...their charters do not allow for two states side by side. fatah may have slightly changed but is only a crisis away from being defeated by hamas. and peace in the minds of islamist in these movement is called Hudna (a truce of conveniance)which will be held till these organizations are strong enough to complete the next step in thier goal of removal of israel. in your mind israel has no right to resist this process.....and must lay down and let the islamist either to kill or evict them from the mideast.... an interesting understanding you have ???
28. ALL I DID JANE,WAS TO ...........#18
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (08.19.08)
Point out that the article is based on weapons supplied by the Israelis to Georgia.Gliker was off track and I thought of putting him back on track.However, coming to the Russians,I will refreshen your memory that during Shah's era in Iran,some of the arms supplied to Iran were not to be seen even with the USA army.What a priority to him...............simply because he was an American stooge.With lapse of time,you know exactly what happened.......................why the concern if the Russians are at the moment negotiating and supplying defensive arms to Iran?Are you telling me that Iran should not receive anything?You must be joking,Jane,I am sure.
29. #17. Georgia does not have oil, airhead
Jake   (08.19.08)
only a pipeline that passes through its territory originating in Azerbaijan and ending in Turkey and other places. (Not that a functionally illiterate dolt like you has the foggiest clue about geography) Israel can import oil from any number of places in the former Soviet Union, and Georgia is not one of those. Israel's investment in relations with Georgia are part of its 'peripheral doctrine' of developing close ties with non-Arab/ non-Islamic nations on the periphery of the Middle East. The remarks of this Russian general prove that tiny Israel did its part to help Georgia. On the other hand your gigantic country and the rest of the West, particularly the EU, failed and abandoned Georgia, to which they were indebted in the war on terror. I will say nothing about the pathetic UN. the rest of your intellectually challenged remarks have more than a whiff of Nazism about them. Can't you tell, everyone on this site loathes and despises you?
30. What is the difference??
William Frust ,   Oklahoma, USA   (08.19.08)
So if Russia is pointing the finger at Israel for helping a little country like Georgia protect herself from the big angry Bear and counts that as despicable, then Israel can easily point the fingers right back at Russia for their arming, training and moving troops and ships into Syria and Lebanon, RIGHT! Could this become the hook in the jaw that Ezekiel spoke of in the prophecy of Gog/Magog war with Israel? Praying for all of you! William
