Questo per esempio:
6. Strongly urges all parties to consider and address seriously each other's legitimate security concerns, to refrain from any acts of violence or provocation, including political action or rhetoric, to comply fully with previous agreements regarding ceasefire and non-use of violence, and to maintain the security zone and the restricted weapons zone free of any unauthorized military activities; and in this regard recalls the recommendations of the Secretary-General contained in S/2007/439 and his subsequent reports.
In realta' e' piu' una questione di buon senso. La situazione nella zona e' estremamente tesa, c'e' un conflitto etnico che in un modo o nell'altro dura da centinaia di anni, la situazione potrebbe precipitare in ogni momento trasformandosi in una snguinosa guerra... In tali circostanze si dovrebbe cercare di evitare QUALUNQUE azione che possa innervosire la controparte. Invece il governo georgiano manda un UAV nella zona! Tanto per chiarire: un drone non lo usi per ammirare i paesaggi, lo usi per lo spionaggio, per preparare e coordinare un attacco... Se poi allo stesso tempo vedi che la Georgia ammassa truppe nelle regioni di confine... fai 2+2... E' questo che intendo quando parlo di "diretta violazione della risoluzione ONU".
Per esempio la storia del missile Kh-58 e del presunto bombardamento della Georgia da parte di un aereo russo di cui abbiamo iniziato a parlare qui. Dopo qualche settimana (e in questo lasso di tempo il governo georgiano ha tirato fuori varie spiegazioni una piu' fantastica dell'altra) dopo l'anali dei materiali e delle foto si e' rivelato tutto una colossale messa in scena (con tanto di stupidissimi errori).
Oppure l'episodio dell'altro ieri quando i media georgiani hanno mentito spudoratamente riguardo alle parole del portavoce NATO, tanto che quesultimo e' dovuto intervenire per smentire: link.
Infine, per quelli che credono alle favolette sulla democrazia in Georgia due video:

E per quelli che non vedono l'ora di avere la Georgia nella NATO ecco un opinione sulle loro FA di un istruttore americano se non erro:
"While they may dress in uniforms similar to the US, and some of them have US weapons, they aren't even close to US troops. Of the Georgian units I've seen, only the Commandos had any disciple. The regular units had SERIOUS disciple problems. They stole any and everything they could get a hold of, including the radio and antenna mount off of the HMMWV the NCOIC of their MiTT was driving. When confronted, their commander claimed innocence until the NCOIC told them they would get nothing else from the US military until his equipment was returned. So it "magically" appeared that night.
In Kuwait, they were routinely caught steeling from other units, they broke into shipping containers to steel MREs, and uniforms, many of them got caught steeling form the PX, they set several structures on fire because they were smoking in no smoking areas, etc., etc. Until they can get their sh*t together, there's no way in hell they should be allowed into NATO."
"As I said, the Commando battalion was very disciplined and well led, but they were still equipped with older soviet era weapons (And they did have quite few female hotties). As for the other units, I wouldn't trust them to run the fry station at McDonalds. Their officers were garbage, and hey had no NCOs to speak of. They seemed more interested in what they could beg, barrow or steal from the US. The only reason many of them were here was because they get a supplement to their pay from the US. Most of the officers seemed to out to fatten their own wallets on the backs of their troops.
They need to make clean sweep of the officer corps, actually form a NCO corps, and enforce discipline in the units (that doesn't mean you beat your soldiers, but lead by example). It's a little hard when your officers treat their troops like peasants. They'll never show them any respect, you can't lead by fear alone.
At a minimum, it'll take them five years to weed out the old guard, and start replacing them with a better trained officer corps. If they start now, it'll take five to ten years before they have a seasoned NCO corps within their enlisted ranks, and these guys will be the backbone of any force they field. Until they do, they need to stay as far away from NATO as possible. From what I've seen, if I were the Russians, I wouldn't be worrying about them starting a war, but I would be checking my pockets to see if I still had my wallet, or if the tires were still on my car in the morning."
Gia' davvero un peccato. Ma per fortuna adesso c'e' la NATO che manda i suoi carri armati dove le pare e piace. I tempi e i personaggi cambiano ma il risultato e' sempre lo stesso.
