Georgia Invaded

August 9, 2008 on 8:58 am | In Me! |

Everything I know about Georgia, I learnt from 10 Days in Asia, which is a pretty neat party game that is very easy to teach and pick up. Wolf has an open set at his shop, and we play it at every available opportunity. That is… when no one else brought a cooler boardgame to play…

Don’t get me wrong, 10 Days is a good game. One evening we lost track of time and played till 3am Sunday morning. But sometimes, you can’t scratch the power-gamer itch with an entry level boardgame like this. Games like this will sell way better. You’ll make more friends playing this game.

But that itch some of us have, that you people with poor math skills and mediocre sense of strategy could never understand, yarr… For that, we play something like Colosseum,

Digressing again…

Anyways…

Yes, I know a bit more about Georgia than some people.

It’s a small country that has a border with Russia.

And yesterday, it was invaded. Way to steal the limelight from the Olympics. But will anyone care though?

Russia is starting something. I keep repeating that they’re gonna start something. Is this obvious aggression obvious enough for everyone yet?

What can happen now? Will America send in troops? Nah. No oil to protect. And fighting against a big scary dog with nukes. No Jews to protect either. Bush can’t even get people to stop Iran from building nukes, and those guys are going to actively threaten Israel and start a nuclear war.

Is the UN or NATO going to do anything? Without even looking at their track record for averting military aggression… Russia has too many allies in both already.

Interesting times. Oh, interesting times.

What will be fun though, is to wager if there’ll be any humanitarian outcry from Malaysia. The clowns in government have always been all too ready to criticize American and Israeli. Let’s see if they’ll even squeak at the big scary dog…
