    @folger

    You're right. I heard that a squadron of Russian MIGs flew over Iowa the other day. Holy McPain! We're being invaded! Are you still stuck there sitting in a puddle of paranoid piss over the long over red menace? It's time to update a little. The point I made about Georgia (that's the country not the state) is that it'd be pretty stupid and half cocked to get America involved in a war in the caucusus when we're still engaged on two fronts in the Mid-East. I'm not yet a Georgian, I'm still an American, but if you wanna be a Georgian, jolly good for you. Put on your boots and strap on your chutes.
