Some on iTulip will no doubt remember, a while ago I gave vent to what I believed were the actions of complete idiots that had been firing rockets into towns in Georgia, in the Caucasus region of Europe, where the people held Russian passports. The Russian Army had, from all accounts, lain in wait until the idiots started firing the rockets and had acted immediately to bring the whole thing to a complete halt.
Now, this evening, I have watched another example of such stupidity, but this time, enacted by the Russian Army and FSB on their own citizens in a tiny nation state called Ingushetia.
We have to admire our journalists that risk their lives to bring us such stories on Channel 4 TV with the program called Unreported World.

That last statement is very true. If you are any sort of civilised person, you will be horrified at what is going on.
We all know that from time to time, there will be a few individuals within any nation that carry out the most horrific murders and we normally expect any nation to ensure that anyone with that "lust" is permanently placed within a secure facility of the sort we here in the UK call a Lunatic Asylum. For this is being perpetrated by mad men, lunatics.
Mr Putin, Mr Medvedev, you are ultimately responsible for the actions of your troops and special forces. You rightly, to my mind, acted to bring the stupidity to a complete halt in Georgia. Now this sits on your desks and I leave you with one single thought:
Whomever has been briefing you on this has either told you the truth and in which case you are as responsible and complicit as they are, or, whomever tells you this is not happening as reported; thinks you are both fools and can be lied to. It really is as simple as that.
Either way, this must stop; now!
