Fanfiction Super Sentai

The crisis in the Caucasus and the information war.

During the first days of conflict, being in the middle of August, I had the opportunity to follow closely the events that were occurring in the Caucasus, but listening to the Western media, came out openly that it was Russian aggression in Georgia. Only through broader and more precise information, I was able to pursue the matter. it certainly appeared that the West, or rather the Western media have chosen the very beginning of the conflict to whom to assign right and wrong, truth is not failing often negligible, as the fact that the presence of Russian soldiers in South Ossetia has a function of peacekeeping and is part of a program of pacification agreed a livello internazionale. Certamente la reazione militare russa è stata durissima, d’altro canto questo è un elemento innegabile in un conflitto, ma la guerra in Caucaso ha inizio con l’attacco georgiano all’Ossezia del Sud ed alle truppe russe , quest’ultime ribadisco erano presenti in quei territori con un mandato internazionale di interposizione. I mass media russi, stampa, TV, radio ed internet sono tra l’altro meno schierati con il governo di quanto i mezzi di informazioni occidentali li dipingano. Basti pensare ai rinomati analisti come Vladimir Pozner o come la fondazione Carnegie di Mosca che hanno un atteggiamento più collaborativo con gli USA e l’Europa and certainly these items were even stronger under President Yeltsin than they are today, but still have a role in the Russian media landscape. Returning to the central theme of the article, it must be said that the world did not know that between the 7-8 August, Georgian troops attacked South Ossetia razing the city of Tskhinvali and killing nearly 3,000 civilians . How can the public world has not known anything of what the Russian leadership has defined thrashing Genocide? At the outbreak of war, many Russian analysts have stated: "We are losing the information war" ed in effetti l’8 agosto la CNN riportava “La Russia invade la Georgia”. Nelle prime ore di conflitto il compito principale dei media è stato sorvolare sulla notizia dell’aggressione georgiana e scaricare ogni responsabilità a Mosca. L’attacco georgiano all’Ossezia del sud ed alle truppe russe e la conseguente risposta russa, si è conclusa con il riconoscimento da parte di Mosca delle due repubbliche georgiane di Abkhazia e Ossezia del sud . Il conflitto in questione, per la prima volta dopo l’ex URSS ha mostrato al mondo una recuperata azione militare di Mosca e senza manifestare il minimo timore nei confronti degli Stati Uniti. Naturalmente la Russia forte del precedente of Kosovo, has taken this action in defense of the breakaway territories. In 2006, Russian Foreign Minister Condoleezza Rice had repeatedly warned Europe that recognition of Kosovo would set a dangerous precedent for the Caucasus. The Georgia crisis should be read in depth, however, Georgian and contradictions have emerged not only as a result of the response of the Kremlin, but mainly because of the statement of the ultra-nationalist Georgian project, which sought to apply in a multi-ethnic and multilingual territory, identity uniform at all costs. Today it seems that the Agreement on the peace plan presented by France, signed by Moscow and Tbilisi could be the first step toward detente but the negotiations with Poland for the establishment of the space shield project could cause new tensions with the Kremlin.
