[Salon] Andrew Cockburn on the ghost of Georgia 2008 past vs. the war yet to come

[Kelley Vlahos <vlahos@quincyinst.org>]

All -- I am proud to have our friend Andrew Cockburn on Responsible Statecraft today.

In the hawks' (he calls them tub-thumpers) telling, Russia attacked Georgia without provocation only to be forced to withdraw, thanks to Washington’s steely resolve. It is therefore worth recalling what actually happened. Take it away Andrew:

Also, I have a little nugget up about the UAE telling the US we better play ball or they won't buy our F-35s. Where to start? I try: https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2021/12/15/a-lotta-nerve-uae-threatens-to-back-out-of-f-35-deal/

All the best,
