Armed conflict has erupted between the powerhouse country of Russia and the small country of Georgia. It has begun because of a territory dispute for South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Georgians total military strength is 45,000 whiles Russia’s total military strength is more then 570,000. This is an example of a bigger country bullying on a smaller country that can’t defend itself. Right now the United Nations has not formally passed any resolution, although the United Nations and several of its member states have attempted to put pressure on both nations to enact a ceasefire and for Russia to withdraw from Georgia.
Cambodia doesn’t specifically support one side over the other but wants to see a peaceful outcome to this dispute. We don’t really care who’s at fault because people can point fingers all day and it won’t resolve the situation. Cambodia wants to see both countries follow such peace plans as the six-point plan. Over all though Cambodia has much more important items that need to be addressed and doesn’t think that this is that big of a deal.
Countries that will support my stand will be countries that agree with the six point plan and who also agree that Russia should pull out of the region and return where they belong. They would be able to help me achieve my goals by agreeing that Russia needs to get out and quit picking on smaller countries that can’t protect themselves. If this continues then who knows what such wars could come from this and another world war is the last thing that this world needs right now.
Cambodia wants to see the Six-point peace plan put into action and followed by all countries involved. Cambodia would also like to see borders where the two countries can agree on as being territory lines without any invasions taking place within these territory boarders.
