OPINION OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE ALL-UNION COMMUNIST PARTY OF BOLSHEVIKS CONCERNING THE MILITARY AGGRESSION BY SAAKASKVILI’S REGIME AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH OSSETIA
During the night of 7th to 8th August 2008 – during the opening of the Beijing Olympics-, the president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili launched a full scale military attack against the inhabitants of South Ossetia – against his own people. In this war, Saakashvili has been using the latest military technology and troops well-trained by US military specialists. Heavy bombing by “Grad” systems and long-range missile systems of the capital of South Ossetia, Tskhinvali, wiped it from the face of the map in 2 days along with nearby villages and their inhabitants. The planned destruction of the peaceful population and all vital services – the bakery, hospitals, power stations, gas and water supply systems, and also schools, the physical destruction of all the peaceful inhabitants who were on the streets, beaten by rifle butts or those shot at close range who were either wounded or trying to flee the violence by going into cellars (the elderly, women and children), and also the destruction of Russian peacekeepers, can only be qualified as unambiguously genocide. Refugees fleeing Tskhinvali who fled under a hail of bullets by Georgian troops along the mountains for several kilometers, told Putin about what happened in Tskhinvali:
- The Georgians had driven women into their homes like cattle, locked them inside and set fire to the houses…
- We saw an old woman escape with two children and then a Georgian tank run over them…
- They slaughtered a 1.5 years old baby….(Izvestiya, 11.08.2008)
- Tskhinvali is now like Khatin…or even worse.
At one of the call up offices for mobilizing the reserve troops in Batumi (Georga), one woman declared- “Why does my child have to go and fight? For the sake of Saakashvili? No way!
We resolutely condemn the military aggression organized by Saakashvili the Georgian president – the leader of the “rose revolution”, aspiring to join NATO, ignoring the will the Georgian people.
We accuse Saakashvili of being guilty for the organizing of the criminal war against a defenceless population, qualifying this as genocide against the Ossetian people. We blame Saakashvili for the carrying out of ethnic cleansing.
We condemn the Georgian president, who like a lamb carries out consciously evil will of a foreign power, transforming him, Saakashvili, into a war criminal.
This military aggression undertaken by Saakashvili against South Ossetia had long been carefully planned in advance. Under Saakashvili, military expenditure in 4 years has grown over 30 times, making up 9-10% of GDP (in Russia – it is 2.9%). The general military budget in Georgia for 2008 is almost 1 billion US dollars. Georgia has a well-equipped army with the latest equipment. Heavy weaponry has been purchased: self-propelled artillery units 2S3 from Ukraine, 24 latest self-propelled Dana units from Czech, Gradlar missile systems of up to 45 km purchased from Israel, and several 262 mm long-range M87 Orkan self-propelled multiple rocket launchers from Bosnia –Herzegovina. The army’s tank park has either been renovated or modernized (in particular all 165 T72 tanks have been updated with the latest GPS navigation system, TV in the firing system and a modernized communication system).
For the air force, Czech L39 jet trainer planes were purchased, Mi-8 and Mi-24 helicopters from Ukraine with anti-tank “Storm” systems”. Israel has supplied Georgia with Elbit Hermes 450 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV-s) for long-range intelligence- reconnaissance missions. Also in Israel Su-25 ground attack airplanes have been upgraded to the level of Su-25KM ground attack planes. Kiev supplied Tbilisi with two ground-to-air systems equipped with 36D6M radars, a complex of “Kolchuga” passive sensors. Its appearance inside Iraq in its time brought about a huge scandal between Kiev and Washington, since the most up to date ground-to-air radar detection systems for detecting all types of aircraft today, still does not exist. Kiev also handed to Georgia who has 3 S-125 missile systems, older OSA-AKM air-defense systems and the latest Tor air-defence systems. On part of the USA, Georgia received not only heavy financing but also a significant number of the latest sniper rifles. This is huge financing of military expenditures on the background of a negative forecast in the Georgian economy, which coexists on Azerbaizhan, Kazakh and Russian energy supplies…
The listed amount of modernization of the Georgian army bears witness to the fact that military intervention against South Ossetia (and in the future against Abkhazia, judging by the deployment of military units and heavy artillery on the borders of Georgia with North Ossetia and Abkhazia at the start of August this year) was very carefully planned and aimed at a blitzkrieg, since the stronger troop formation (excluding Russia) simply did not exist in this region. We shall note that towards the start of Georgian military action against South Ossetia, the Georgian troops had a 12-fold superiority in relation to the Russian peacekeepers in the Caucausus.
What then are the real premises for the unleashing by Saakashvili of the monstrous in vandalism military aggression against South Ossetia, and the creation of a humanitarian catastrophe in that region, and why does he so ardently aim to join NATO? Is Saakashvili ardently trying to join NATO or is he being pressured into joining it? George Bush in a passing conversation with Putin at the Beijing Olympic games haughtily declared that “Nobody wants war”. IS THAT REALLY SO? This is in no way the case. Saakashvili needs control over the territorial conflicts against Abkhazia and South Ossetia- one of the main obstacles on the path of Georgia joining NATO. Saakashvili sees control being achieved only by the use of force.
By organizing the military attack on South Ossetia, Saakashvili had counted on the support of the world community, misinformed also by the Western media which “comes out in support of little Georgia, which Russia attacked”. Then the troops of NATO will be brought into Tbilisi.
An analysis of the events that have taken place in South Ossetia, the comparison of them with the events in the Balkans (Yugoslavia) over 15 years, in Afghanistan, in Iraq leads to one conclusion: the one giving the orders and sponsoring these evil acts is one and the same “face” – modern-day fascism – the Zionist world lobby – the leading core of US imperialism, not abandoning its own illusive aim – of world domination, possession of all worlds energy resources and minerals, and seizure of geopolitical regions of the world.
The world Zionist lobby of the USA planned to establish NATO domination (or US domination –the same thing) in the Caucasus via Georgia’s membership into NATO and in such a way grab up Caucasian oil (via loyal Azerbaizhan) and control the oil pipeline which lie along the Caucasus. On the other hand – the USA is importantly closing on Iran to drop down the price of oil and with this, hold out for a time in the conditions of a world crisis of the system, the deepening recession in the US economy, the fall in the dollar and the gradual loss of its influence as the world’s leading imperialist power.
The war for Caspian oil cannot but have repercussions in the Black Sea region and especially in the Black Sea, because it is near impossible to supply at a reliable level, the transport of Caspian oil for the countries of NATO while the Russian Black Sea Fleet controls the transport route of energy resources across the Black Sea. From here follows the eagerness of the president of Ukraine, Yushenko to “squeeze out” the Russian Black Sea naval fleet from Sevastopol and receive in the form of a “gift”, his own share for the transporting of oil into Europe in this given area. Kiev’s position occupying the given situation only proves that there is pressure being applied on escalating the military conflict which will inevitably turn out to be a tragedy in the Black Sea.
The organizing of military aggression against South Ossetia follows one aim – to consolidate all of the traitors of the USSR in the face of their protégés – leaders, who came to power as a result of “colour revolutions”, all those who “divided up for themselves” from the USSR “independent” states and the formation of a tense situation along the whole perimeter of the borders of the Russian Federation (RF). At the same time, this follows the aim of getting people to fight between themselves, who had earlier made up the single united Soviet people. In such a way, they try to bury the idea itself of the revival of the USSR. Also it follows the aim of turning people’s attention away from problems overwhelming the USA and weakening of Russia as a completely worthy imperialist competitor today in a number of questions.
The military aggression against South Ossetia was long ago prepared and very carefully in all directions, not just by financing Georgia and modernizing its armed forces. A powerful ideological and information preparation (campaign) was carried out. We have in mind here the numerous visits to Georgian of high-ranking US officials, along with the visits by Saakashvili to the USA.
One month ago, US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice visited Tbilisi and had “friendly talks” with Saakashvili concerning Georgia joining NATO, having declared her full support to Saakashvili….US special troops have for a long time been located on the territory of Georgia which had been in action in Afghanistan and in Iraq as well as earlier in Yugoslavia.
The “objective” Western media were well prepared, having ignored information regarding the start of the military action on part of Georgia and after that, excitedly misinforming the Western public about the beasts, allegedly the Russians, by showing pictures touching upon the savagery of the Georgian war machine. In other words, everything is being twisted around to make it look as if all this is Russia’s fault: allegedly, the big country attacking a small one. Thanks to the disinformation of the Western media, an objective picture about what is happening in the Caucasus does not exist up to now.
Four sessions of the Security Council of the UN declined to qualify the actions of Georgia in relation to South Ossetia as being Genocide against their own people, probably by reason of complete ignorance or misunderstanding about what is happening on South Ossetia, thanks to the disinformation by the Western media, and also the false and cynical speeches on TV made by Saakashvili himself. Official Beijing has stayed quiet, since it is completely immerged in the Olympic raptures and is not responding to what is happening in the Caucasus: the American “friends” very successfully chose the time for Saakashvili’s actions.
Russia is not in a state of war with Georgia. The Russian peacekeepers are only “forcing one of the sides of the conflict towards peace” in accordance with the UN mandate that Russia already has. Russia, in the present political situation is acting very carefully, particularly in the framework of international right and the international mandate of its peace-keeping mission in this region of the Caucasus – that is, only actions to be taken on the cessation of violence and genocide, the protection of the peaceful population and Russian citizens on the territory of South Ossetia, the restoring of peace and the liquidation of a humanitarian catastrophe.
Supporting Russia’s peace-keeping and humanitarian mission on the protection of the citizens of South Ossetia and the Russian peace-keepers, at the same time one cannot but talk of a certain carelessness in the position of the Russian leadership which had stated for example that, “the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict is a legacy of the Soviet past(?)…and, further, an attempt to vindicate the criminal and expansionist foreign policy of George Bush – we mean by this, the words spoken by our representative in the UN Security Council about allegedly “Saakashvili incorrectly interpreting the signs coming out of Washington”(!), interpreting the statement made by Saakashvili in his TV interview to the Western viewer, where he blurted out something which he should have kept quiet about – about the people ordering the military bloody adventure, and namely the fact that he on an hourly basis kept in contact with George Bush and in the period of the military aggression, and before it, spoke to him…(in other words, got instructions on military action from George Bush).
Today in the Caucasus, the interests of the world sharks of the oil business have come together. The Russian authorities, as representatives (the embodiment) of Russian energy resource business are doing everything in order to preserve their own influence in the Caucasus, the Caspian and in the Black Sea. All of this is equivalent to the preservation of power in the country, otherwise the loss of Russia’s influence in the region of the Caucasus and Caspian will bring about a final division of property in the country to the benefit of the supporters of the USA with the consequences being – the breakup of the country.
It presents itself that the sharks of world imperialism are ever more trying to make deals with each other and having freed themselves from all those who turned out to be “bad pupils”. The question is only about HOW to the world Zionist lobby of the USA is behaving itself….All depends on the concrete combining of objective and subjective factors at a given moment. But the fact that the military intervention by Saakashvili against South Ossetia has brought the world right up close to the border of a universal catastrophe – is obvious. And the fact that the fate of human civilization is being decided today in the Caucasus, is one of the consequences of the destruction of the USSR.
