Mike - Contrary to what Hollywood has told you America didn't win WW1 and WW2 single handed.
To say so belittles the sacrifice of millions of young men and women who died fighting in both resistance and free forces.
US troops didn't return to home and find their home's and industry devastated.

Bob, Sittingbourne, UK

Question? How EU, NATO, USA /UK would stop Georgian attack on S.Ossetiya? (with their peaceful talk and yet they don’t know how to punish Russia for declaring breakaway rep. Independence) 70,000 would have to die and Aggressor still has EU/USA protection (something is not write) What help EU is proposing for Georgia? More weapons?

Andrey, New York, NY, USA

I'm still wondering where all of the left wing protesters are. No world wide demonstrations, no Russia out of Georgia now. No blood for pipeline signs. Hmmmm. Apparently, the looney left only protests when the U.S. is involved.

Jimmy, Titonka, USA

I think most of New EU comers will always cry over Russian integrity, simply because they no longer serve as transfer agents of Russian Energy resources to EU. Just before Georgian War accrue Poland blocked proposal of Natural Gas pipe bypassing them, they claim it’s environmentally dangerous. EU should concentrate excluding/regulating New EU members then Russia.

Andrey, New York, NY, USA

EU showed its inability to do smth and make rational decisions, only bla-bla, before to talk bla-bla, praise each other and of course doing nothing it's better for EU to think if it's worth bla-bla or care for its face and maybe keep silence.. as for me I can't listen to sarkozy's bla-bla any more

Tanya, Moscow, Russia

“I think that many of our partners, and first of all our European partners, will be guided by this fairly crude but very descriptive saying,”

this is either horrible translation or a ridiculous fruedian slip

yes how crude

J Dog, Atlanta, GA, USA

US and EU are rather biased towards the situation in South Osetia covering up the Georgians terror against the Osetian civilians. I live in Tajikistan and have a chance to compare the news and information outflow from the Russian and European perspectives and can say that US and EU are unrighteous

Jamshed, Dushanbe, Tajikistan

Well, if he only tranquilized it, then it's a lot better than actually murdering it. Kudos for him for being that civilized at least - remember where he comes from. As Lincoln said: "Don't criticize them; they are just what we would be under similar circumstances."

Mark, Jersey City, USA

Geez, Just don't worry about it. Putin is only pootin' I mean, come on. Do you think the breakaways really want to be part of Georgia? Look, this is only about the most powerful playing chess with one another, you are just a punk pawn caught in the middle with no say in the matter whatsoever.

kevin, vermilion, ohio

‘Michael, yes I think Georgia is more democratic than Russia, because the latter is just about a dictatorship under Putin.’
Andrew, Cambridge,

How can you compare these two countries if you do know none of them?

Alexey, Moscow,

Andrew, Cambridge,

What makes you feel (apart from your media) that there is dictatorship in Russia? Why don't you ask the Russians if they feel free?! You can see many comments written by the Russian and most of people are happy to live here despite all of them have been abroud and speak English

Alex, St. Petersburg, Russia

It is a sad thing that civilized people / leaders around the world are not learning anything from history of mankind. Great personalities like Martin Luther King, Tolstoy , Mahatma Gandhi have left great legacy for all of us. But greed, selfish motives, will always dominate the world ;

Hrishikesh, Pune, India

Andrew, well put. The following sentence really sums it up: "Analysis say that Russia’s role as a supplier of more than a quarter of Europe’s gas makes tough EU action unlikely at the summit." What's the EU gonna do? Nothing.

Greg, Philadelphia, USA

Is that a tracking collar he's taking off the dead tigers neck?

marcus, wildo, canada

Wouldn't it be much better if Putin tranquillized Bush and Cheney instead?!

Alex, St. Petersburg, Russia

Ruth, for a discussion of U.S. actions in Iraq compared to Russian actions in Georgia, see Peter from McClean and Mike from Sarasota. They said it well. I agree with you that it was a photo op, but what message is he trying to convey to the rest of the world? One of the might and power of Russia?

Shawn, Pittsburgh, USA

Kent, Reno, USA - Republican, are we? He tranquilised it. It does say so in the article & is pretty obvious from the pic, even to someone who is not an NRA member, given the equipment he is holding. As far as "communist" goes, he did actually win all his elections, unlike your esteemed president.

Jake, London, UK

Michael, yes I think Georgia is more democratic than Russia, because the latter is just about a dictatorship under Putin. the Russians seem to love their country being strong (because they have "suffered too long"), even if this means being ruled by a dictator. Sounds a bit like Germany in the 30s

Andrew, Cambridge,

Guess its okay for thugs from communist countries to hunt endangered species. Too bad the tiger wasn't armed.

Kent, Reno, USA

Clinton used the entire US military including Stealth bombers to assist the Muslim breakaway republic of Kosovo against our former allies. Kosovo wanted independence -we killed thousands to give it to them. The "Georgian" breakaways are 80-90% Russian -any honest vote would make them part of Russia.

Frank, Carmel, CA, USA

I have nothing to say about the
big Russian threat except I don't think trying to get to the U.S. via Alaska would be a good idea or her governor will outshoot Mr. Putin. Also I thought there was supposed to be a ban on shooting tigers or is that just for us "little folk" to follow?

G W McQuiston, Tampa, Fl, USA

Last I checked, the Georgians did the same thing the Russians did in chechbya, tried ti reestablish control inside its own borders. Then the Russians invaded a soveriegn nation, and made excusesike the Germans in the Sudatenland. Putin was elected but so where several other facist leaders in Europe

Mike, Sarasota FL, USA

Finally, the US has saved Europe twice in the last 100 years. Remember the war to end all wars followed by the war started by a Austrian Corporal. Also genocide in Nazi Germany and the USSR. Looks like history is repeating itself again.

Mike, Sarasota FL, USA

'Might is at once the supreme right' - General Friederich von Bernhardi, 1914. Wars should never be fought on moral grounds, only to achieve what is best for the nation which wages them. Russia's victory gives it greater control of Europe's oil supply which contributes to its growing power.

Lindsey, Victoria, BC, Canada

Ruth , Salwa, Kuwait

The USA is on a clear path to leave Iraq - in better condition than Saddam's days.
When will Russia withdraw from this territory?

Russia, as always, behaves brutally out of inferiority complex.
Who, ever, was glad to see Russians approaching?
Best view of Russians? Leaving.

Ste, Budapest, Hungary

and how the hell would the US react if China or Russia would put its missiles and war ship all around them?. the US foreign policy is so out of whack. they want to weaken every nation that does not see eye to eye with them. sick!!!
nobody is blaming the Gergians for their bloody incursion. why?

MW, burlingame, usa

The US goes in to Irag AFTER Saddam ignored 15 UN Security Council resolutions; invaded a Kuwait; gassed the Kurds (using WMD's); ran rape rooms; and killed tens of thousand of Shiites.
Russia goes in to Georgia when Georgia says they want to be free. Equivalence? Only for the blind.

Peter, McLean,

After the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia should have been our greatest ally. We totally blew it. You say that they are not moral enough? Funny, China's not so bad. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Mexico.. If they let us exploit their cheap labor and conviscate their natural resources we like em.

Patrick Murphy, Newhall, United States

Do you guys know that Ossetians are Iranians who came as refugees in Georgia escaping from Mongols? They are less than 70.000 and wont independence. So let`s give to every diaspora, and first of all to Chechens, independence? I`m sorry "Vanya" but Russian colonial empire must desinegrate eventually

Dave, Toronto, Canada

Shawn, the point isn't machismo, it's a photo op - and perhaps Putin could go shooting with Dick Cheney instead:) Mind you, the idea of Bush, Cheney or any other member of the current US administration attempting to tell any other leader off for invading other nations is beyond satire...

Ruth , Salwa, Kuwait

‘With Russia out of NATO, what's to deter the Chinese from taking Siberia?’
Gerald L. Kuntze, Farmington, Missouri USA

With Mexico out of NATO and Canada to be in what is to deter them from taking their territories by the USA not to understand what the good neighborhood is.

Alexey, Moscow,

lets look at it this way: What would have happened if Russia sent its missile launchers at the door step of America, meaning to Cuba. Wouldn't the US act similarly ? You have all the ex-soviet states who are now gravitating towards NATO in general and the US in particular, so surely Russia is upset

Yagzud, Casablanca, Morocco

There's nothing wrong with what Putin is doing here. Animal conservationists the world over track animals by radio collar and to put it on they have to tranquilize the animal. The whole thing takes a few minutes and doesn't hurt the animal.

Bee, Houston, TX, USA

With Russia out of NATO, what's to deter the Chinese from taking Siberia?

KoKoMo, Los Angeles, USA
Tens of thousands killed civilians in Iraq. Do you beleive nowadays Iraq is better than that of Saddam's. 90 civilians (uncl. 60 kids) killed by the Coalition a week ago in Afghanistan. BIG difference? Who are worse?

Stanislav, Baku, Azerbaijan

Our missles are part of a DEFENSE shield. The missiles in Cuba were OFFENSIVE.

Gerald L. Kuntze, Farmington, MO, USA

Putin is a remarkable Russian patriot, he paid off the Russian debts after the cold war and steered the country to economic prosperity. Once he has completely removed the failures of communism, this man will go down in history as a great great leader.

HOWARD HOFELICH, Kailua Kona, USA

Djuro. I love your logic. Russia should be able to cut up another country because the West was allowed do it also????? How about "Russia's wrong and so is the West." SHAME on you for your obvious nationalism.

Lido, Mission Viejo, USA

I would be more impressed if he took it down with his bare hands, but as with Georgia he used overwhelming force to kill the disadvantaged opponent.

Ernie Oporto, Hillsborough, NJ, United States

To Stan, F. Worth, TX, USA: please note that international law is not dependent, for its validity, on the character of a head of state. Under the UN Charter, the right to self-determination of a sovereign member state is not conditional on whether the US President grants his approval to that state.

Edmund Burke, Kingston upon Thames, England

This is right out of the old Soviet Communist playbook. Bring in the big wig, take them out to forest and lead them directly to the bear, or in this case, tiger, that has already been pumped up with tranquilizers, thus making it an easy target. Everybody wins and, here, with PR photos to boot.

CEE, nyc,

It's about Russia's OIL. We are going to take their oil. China is next. Duh, I know they don't have any in the ground. You are forgetting about their supply in above ground tanks. I am thinking about taking my next door neighbors oil, ALL OF IT. Even the oil in his har.

HT, USA,

The above comments are breathtaking, and could only come from those who live in a 'free' world. Check out the background pre-7 August. And ask yourselves, where would you rather live - in a flawed democracy, or in a country where anyone who speaks out is murdered on a daily basis.

David, London,

Ash, India

It is no secret that under Saddam's vicious and torturous rule, he gassed the Kurds with chemical weapons and left mass graves in his wake.

A perceived moral equivalence between Saddam's atrocities and the US' actions there? BIG difference. Use your brain!

KoKoMo, Los Angeles, USA

How unfair politics from western world today. While for Western Europe and US it was completely legal to tear off part of UN member Serbia (Kosovo), or attack Irak. Now, that is not legal any more if Russia is involved. How shameful and ignorant politics from Washington and Bruxelles.
Shame !!!

Djuro Vorkapic, Chicago,

The Russian TV station claims that Putin saved the lives of the TV team by shooting the attacking tiger with a tranquilizer gun.

This is not physically and biologically possible. Tranquilizers need 5, 10 or 15 minutes to enter the blood stream of the animal. The tiger story is a pure lie.

J O, Kuala Lumpur,

In America, shooting a tranquilizer gun is not macho. Is that really macho in the rest of the world? You want to be macho Vlad? Come here and hunt grizzly with a Winchester .338 mag rifle. While out with George Bush, maybe he can convince you that it's not macho to be invading your neighbors.

Shawn, Pittsburgh, PA

Why do you all call Russia "authoritarian regime"? They have presidents that are lawfully elected. Without "Revolutions" as it had been made in Georgia and Ukraine. Medvedev is a probably talking head of Putin. But McCain is a talking head of Republic party. I don't see much difference

Andrei, Brest, Belarus

Tranquilising a rare tiger to save its life.If to think in abstract sense,it'd mean,that west must relax and to understand,there is no danger,threat from Russia.Russia wants to save world,peace in world.Russia wants friendship with all countries,which'd be based on mutual honesty,decenty, morality

Alina, Ufa, Russia

Has G8 done any good to maintain the stablity of the world? What's its function in Iraq War? Just a follower of USA !
Russia is doing its best to maintain a comparatively safe situation on its boarder and for its people.What's wrong with it?

Jean, Beijing, China

Anyone see the programme on the lockerbie bombing? +- 6 months previously a US frigate entered Libian naval terroritry then shot down a passenger aircraft kiling the 200 passengers. Unbelievably retarded.

After Lockerbie Libia pays $2 bil and suffers years of economic sanctions. What's terrorism?

Steve, Norwich,

Interesting how Anglo Saxon politicians/media is all up in arms and telling the rest of Europe to be tough with Russia (coincidently the same countries which didn't have major wars on it own territories). Not difficult to see where Saakashvilli got his idea to start this war

Alexander, Monte Carlo, Monaco

Putin obviously has Napoleon complex. This is history repeating itself all over again. Poor Russian people will suffer because of arrogant and corrupt leader. Russian leaders never care about their own people. Proletariat is simply lead around by their noses, starved and slaughered. Nothing to do.

Ivan, Moscow,

Putin's really cool! Osetians are never be together with georgians, it's historical fact! R.should protect its own border - it's true! What USA did in Georgia? What do they do bombing iraqi or if they found there weapons of mass destruction? Why did they bombSerbia or Afganistan?Go home with peace!

Gala, Moscow, Russia

Classic question - how far does the right to self-determination go?
Do South Ossetia have a right to secede unilaterally from Georgia if the majority of its people/elected government choose to do so? Equally does Chechnya have a right to secede unilaterally from Russia if it chooses to do so?

Tom, Timbuktu, Mali

The American media is like the Soviet era "Pravda". Most people in America get their education from TV. There is no time to search for the truth in America. The riches of America has spoiled most of its children. I am an ex-Marine/ conservative who hopes America returns to God.

david, magnolia, tx

Unbelievable comments!!!!!

mauren, orlando, fl

Andrew Cambridge: Tell me you dont seriously think Georgia is more democratic than Russia. The last 2 years in Georgia has seen opposition media players exiled, political opponents killed etc etc. At least Putin / Medvedev enjoy 70-80% approval ratings, that a lot more than Saakashvili had.

Michael, London,

Brian, Nottingham, England

No, Brian:). We deserved Putin for we have endured long enough last century under insensible idelogical half-witted idiots. I gather Europeans are afraid of a strong Russia, but... We haven't taken up your industrial might and are not a leader in economics as China..

Nikolay, Moscow, Russia

Why do msny fatheads here think that Putin and Russia are wonderful. this is a near dictatorship that is deliberately trying to destabilise neighbouring countries that have - democratically - moved towards the west. Putin is showing the worst of old soviet trends.

Andrew, Cambridge,

Gary in Phoenix obviously knows nothing about Northern ireland. The majority of its people want to be part of the UK, so that is why it is part of the UK - simple eh!!?

Andrew, Cambridge,

I love my country, but the USA stands on very wobbly legs ethically, morally, and politically. We very much need to put our own house in order before sermonizing other countries.

Michael, Nashville, TN, USA

" The invasion was doomed from the start. What were we up to?"

Francis Ferguson, Portland, Oregon, USA

Why the US involvement? I suspect Dubya's taking a leaf out of good ol' Daddy's book (Somalia) and setting up a nice parting gift for the Democrats.

Mike, Tunbridge Wells, Uk

Even in the face of this ridiculous escalation by our reckless leaders, Putin is cool, collected and sensible. Can he be our Prime Minister please?

Brian, Nottingham, England

The Russian Bear eats Tigers for breakfast, has tea with Dragon over what to do with Eagle.

Howard, Manchester,

Pete, St. Albins, England;

When you get out of Northern Ireland, then you can lecture us.

Gary, Phoenix, USA

Does anyone actually believe that the tiger 'escaped' from a cage? And that Putin just happened to be approaching at the time with a tranquilizer gun? The whole thing is quite clearly another propaganada stunt.

Pete W, Bristol, UK

He is a breath of political fresh air and common sense, never has this been more obvious. “If any of the European countries wants to serve someone’s narrow political interests, then go ahead. We cannot stop them. But we think, as they say in such cases, ‘You have to look out for No1’,” Well said.

Edward Ashley-Smith, High Wycombe, England

Europe & US governments, please do not treat your people as idiots. We know Georgia initiated the conflict & we know you set the precident for making regions "independent" after Kosovo. Russia has done what you have, so stop with the Big Talk, & lets get back to a decent relationship again.

Pete, St Albans, England

Why does every article ignore that fact that South Ossetia & Abkhazia have both had public votes (years before conflict) with an overwhelming majority voting for independence

Instead Georgia attacks in the middle of the night killing sleeping civilians and Russia is to blame?

A.A., Melbourne, Australia

president Dmitry Medvedev said we are for the multipole world and we won't let US dictate to other countries vs our interests, we stand up for our interests and if they aren't respected we won't respect others' interests! western politicians can be depicted killing peaceful people all over the world

tata, Moscow, Russia

The tiger was tranquilised so that they could put a GPS collar on it. It's part of the tiger preservation program, not a tsar style tiger hunt!

vladimir, moscow,

I won't be surprised if some articles in the West will say something like: "Putin's killing last tigers in Siberia to frighten tigers in American Zoos " or "Putin shots tigers walking too close to an oil pipe".

Alex, St. Petersburg, Russia

He looks really foxy. Maybe he should give up on the headaches of government and become a major world movie star. Come to think of it, the "west" would probably start to listen to him then. As a movie star, he could "disarm" 50% of world population. Take the chance to find an international remedy!

Karen, Juneau, USA

Wow....!! so now EU wants to reward Georgia for foolishly starting the whole conflict as punishment to Russia. Cant see the logic in this whole mess, seems the US is doing a lot to provoke Russia with warships bringing Aid, speeding up the Poland missile contract, etc and Europe has most to lose....

Portia , Den Haag, Netherlands

When the septics tried to put missiles in Turkey the Russians replied with missiles in Cuba and the world came the closest it has ever been to nuclear obliteration. At least JFK had the sense to back down and take his missiles out.

Seán O'Nilbud, Dublin, Ireland

the missles going in are to be defensive. big dif between offensive and defensive. you people need to see the difference. what did stalin understand and also putin? how many brigades do you have?

truman, missouri,

The tiger was tranquilized as part of a wildlife conservation program. Putin just created a huge park which includes a tiger refuge. The tiger shown was fitted with a tracking collar. Putin went on to thank America for its efforts in protecting tigers during the Soviet years.

Susan, St. Petersburg, Russia

Vladimir Putin is the most effective Russian leader in quite a long time. Yes, he is tough and he looks after his country's interests as he sees fit. What is wrong with that?

Andre, Portland, USA

Putin makes Dick Cheaney look like a choir boy.

jim, birmingham, usa

In USA....headline says "putin shoots tiger", so you go to the article and find out it was with a tranquililzer dart, probably for a wildlife campaign. So I guess he won't be hanging out with Palin after all, she shoots real guns for the kill. She's probably too violent for him.

Stan Buie, Jacksonville, USA/FL

Maybe he should hang out with Palin.

Mark, Boston, USA

lol putin fair and honest.

TEE JAY, CHICAGO, USA

LOL First it was WMDs,then terrorism,now "he's an evil dictator" what other excuses your propaganda mills got?Why only Saddam?Mugabe+other dictators are still around.And what happened to the democratically elected government of Iran in 1951 when it nationalised Irans oil reserves-a very popular move

Brundi, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

1.No democracy in Georgia - it is a little primitive country with poor economy, such a poor that half of georgians have to live in Russia in order to earn smth
2.This free democracy has slogan "Georgia for georgians" and has killed Ossetians for years incl. this august when they killed 1600 of them

Alex, Perm, Russia

There is a rather easy "doable" way to back Russia down--simply say that no US air carrier will now go to Russia--THEN say that if another nations carriers do go to Russia, then they may not go the US. Easy to do, and IT WOULD WORK--

Stanley Kerns, Greeley, United States

When can Nato realize the fact a new Cold War started already the day when neo-con moved east.
Russia is just fighting back when dealy cornered.

hg, Beijing,

I second that John in Omaha: we are a Republic and we don't have to ask permission to exercise our right to not participate in the municipal corporation of the District of Columbia, the Federal
Reserve Bank Debt. And, as a sovereign person (instead of a Federal citizen), NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX

August Franklin, Los Angeles,

What a shame for Bush to arm and finance dubious regimes like Saakashvili's one! Is this regime a democratic if it attacks peacekepers and destroys the whole city? Only Europe should mediate this conflict there shouldn't be amerecan hand and weapons anymore, US doesnot want peace in Europe.

Andrew, Kiev, Ukraine

Hypocrites. The US has always preached to Russia that people should be able to succeed from the former Soviet Union. That is freedom. South Ossetia and Abkhazia do not want to be part of break away Georgia. Georgia tried to force them. Russia interceded. Russia seems to be playing the hero role here

Terrin, Ann Arbor, USA

Hey, the article doesn't tell us why the tiger was shot! What in the world was he doing? Was this some form of "humane" hunting?

Mickie D, Quenbyane , Australia

There's no question that the Russians were a tad heavy handed in dealing with Georgia.

However, as far as South Ossetia goes, shouldn't the ethnic South Ossetians in South Ossetia have some say as to their own self-determination?

MIKE in NYC, NYC, USA

We've been training and equiping the Georgian military. We're heavily involved with their government on many levels. It's unlikely Georgia attaced South Ossetia without consulting us. Russia's response was predictable. The invasion was doomed from the start. What were we up to?

Francis Ferguson, Portland, Oregon, USA

Yeah... review "root and branch"... Russia will also review "root and branch" their oil deals. It's not that easy.

gary, singapore,

Saakashvili is an authoritarian and psychopathic dictator, so I don't trust all his lies. Putin is authoritarian too, but at least he tries to be fair and honest.

Frank, Calexico, USA

Does it require a stretch to see the obvious that being that the so-called defensive missile launchers could quickly become platforms for a nuke bombardment? Realize that we are on the cusp of a lose-lose event whereby such launchers are preemptively vaporised by the people under threat. No?

Frank, Coastal Bend, Texas

The US is placing bases and American military equipment in several places near Russia.

Didn't the US go nuts when the Russians tried to do the same thing in Cuba, Nicaragua, El Salvador and other places?

What do we gain by provoking the Russians and making them nervous about our intentions?

MIKE in NYC, NYC, USA

Russia is taking advantage of our attention to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran. Putin is a megalomaniac. His own will do him in and Russia will retreat, but only if the EU and the USA hit Russia with severe sanctions.

Dick, Denver,

How many people died in Iraq during Saddam Hussein's rule?

and how many have died in the last 5-6 years of american occupation of Iraq ?

for all that jazz about giving Iraq independence ... why did america support Pinochet in Chile?

ash, India,

Funny to see how americans bought the big lie that Russia invaded Georgia. But they are not to blame; when you got all the western media reporting that Russia invaded Georgia, is no surprise to see people repeating nonsense.

Alex, Seattle, USA

America isn't parking offensive nuclear tipped missles on their front doorstep. They are defensive missles in any and all respects. They do not pose any kind of threat to Russia and would be quickly overwhelmed in the event of war with Russia. They know it and we know it.

Bill R., Clinton Township, Mi, USA

Uh, the USA is a democracy that overthrew a murderous authoritarian regime in Iraq. Russia is an authoritarian regime that is trying to overthrow a democracy in Georgia. See the difference? It's not that difficult.

Ron, San Francisco, USA

It will be really funny to see Obama “The Kindergartener” vs. Puitn “The Tigerkiller”!
What a funny show…
And you know who will tranquilize whom.
US – wake up!

M, HK,

What did we do to Iraq again? Oh yeah...removed a genocidal and homicidal dictator from power. Our mistake, Bob A. I can see how that's the same as from invading a sovereign democratic nation.

Stan, Ft. Worth, TX, USA

Sanctions for what exactly? For doing the same thing as the EU did to Serbia in Kosovo? Or what the US did to Iraq? Double standards galore!

Bob A, Melbourne, Australia

Looks like fun.....

"...shown in new macho-style pictures apparently tranquilising a tiger..."

Well as long as it was a multicultural party on a carbon-neutral "hunt":..

Nathaniel Bummpo, Seneca NY, USA

Here we go again. The media trying to paint a picture of a man as the dreaded alpha male. He tranq'd a tiger probably as part of some wildlife campaign.
The whole scenario looks strangely like the Cuban Missile Crisis, but this time America is parking their missiles on Russia's front steps
