As reported in the International Herald Trib, now PM Putin is accusing the Ukrainians of supplying and operating the anti-aircraft weapons used in Georgia to shoot down the Russian planes that invaded Georgia.
Amazing how the Russians won't even give the Georgians credit for shooting down the Russian fighter-bombers! Just another attempt to both minimize the ability and capabilities of the Georgians and put the gas squeeze on the Ukraine government.
The Russians punished the Ukraine for greeting the Germans as liberators during WW2, and are still pretty annoyed about that. But did they ever ask themselves WHY? When you're under a nations thumb and ground into the dirt for centuries, ANYONE is welcome but them!
