At the very least this is exactly what should be done about Novorussia dammit! It is almost certain the war will flare up again, the novorussians need every possible assistance to liberate ALL Donetsk and Lugansk and preferably extent to achieve a road link to Crimea, and then should be offered same deal as South Ossetia. And same should go for Transnistria too.

F**ck what the US and their NATO puppets say, to hell with them. If the US wants war, they will never win it, the pieces of shit should realize that they will end up as green glass no matter what. Russia will not win it, but THEY could never win it either.

Hard words that still make me uneasy to speak out, i certainly do not want a world nuclear war in my life time, and i'm sure the russian president and government have their policy and certainly i'm not in the position to tell the russian people what to do  but in the face of US imperialism there must be drawn a read line, and they should be made fully aware of what they will be facing from countries like Russia. Russia is not Lybia or Iraq or Afghanistan or Syria. It has never been conquered, and the US pieces of shit should be made aware the russians will never let themselves conquered no matter what. I hope this is how they feel too.

Over 3,500 Russian Soldiers Hold Mountain Drills in South Ossetia

Motorized rifle, tank, artillery, and reconnaissance units practiced completing combat tasks in mountainous conditions.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – More than 3,500 Russian military personnel held exercises in the mountainous terrain of the former Georgian republic of South Ossetia, the Russian Defense Ministry’s Southern Military District’s press service said Friday.

“Controlled tactical and tactical-specialized training was held at a Russian base in mountainous terrain with motorized rifle, tank, artillery, and reconnaissance units, whose main goal was a spot check on the units’ capability to successfully complete combat tasks in the difficult conditions of a mountainous area,” the press service said.

More than 3,500 servicemen and approximately 800 pieces of hardware and equipment were involved in the training exercises.

Earlier this month, head of the Russian General Staff Valery Gerasimov said that Russia was expanding the potential of its military bases in South Ossetia, Abkhazia, as well as in Armenia and Central Asia to help maintain stability in the respective regions.

In March, over 2,000 Russian air defense personnel staged large-scale exercises in the south of the country, as well as at Russian military bases in South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Armenia.

South Ossetia declared independence from Georgia in 1991, while Abkhazia followed suit the following year. Both republics were recognized by Russia in August 2008 following an armed conflict in the region.

In October 2008, Tbilisi adopted a law declaring South Ossetia and Abkhazia to be occupied territories of Georgia.

Superb. Abkhazia and Novorussia should follow.

It seems that while South Ossetia will follow the Crimean way and the union of Ossetia seems in the horizont, Abkhazia will remain independent de facto like Novorrussia.
