Since Decent-ists like to demand that everybody condemns everything, I thorougly condemn Georgia’s occupation of Ossetia, and Russia’s invasion thereof.
If either of said acts were being done in the name of the UK, using UK soldiers, directly or tacitly approved by our leaders, then I’d be equally disapproving but spend more time condemning them because then they’d be our fucking fault.
(note: this also applies to pretty much every fucking ‘why do you condemn X and not Y’ thing: it’s because either it’s us, or the Yanks who’re basically us; or the Israelis who’re basically the Yanks. Of course we’re going to condemn them more than the latest doings of some random maniacs wherever – even before we get onto the question of who armed whom in the first place. And yes, I know we armed the Georgians…)
