US offer for Russian base exit

Washington has offered to help fund the withdrawal of Russia's two remaining military bases from the former Soviet republic of Georgia, raising the moral stakes in the regional battle between the two former cold war foes.

Russia has agreed to withdraw its troops, but recently said this might not happen for 11 years, a delay which is unacceptable to Georgia's new government. Georgia's interim leader, Nino Burdzhanadze, said: "Russian-Georgian relations would become much better if the bases were withdrawn."

Yesterday the US deputy assistant secretary of state, Lynn Pascoe, said in Tbilisi: "We would be happy to provide some assistance... to pull out the forces."

Remember, Georgia now has a U.S. puppet government, and is waiting to receive American troops. "Yesterday Pascoe offered a further £1.6m {with current exchange rates about $100 million; no really about $2.7 million} to train Georgian troops, and 77 US heavy armoured vehicles arrived to aid the training." Trillions for the military, not one cent for the people.
