Russian soldier defects / captured to/by Georgia, depending on who you believe
Moscow was apoplectic the other day when reports filtered in that a Russian soldier had been captured by Georgian forces inside South Ossetia. They demanded his immediate return claiming he was being held against his will.
Geogian forces replied by displaying him at a local McDonalds eating a Big Mac.
“I came to the Georgian side of my own will, to ask for political asylum because I had problems with the commander of my battalion,” he said.
Russia just hasn’t been the same since the arrival of the Golden Arches. It has a very powerful and strong pull for young and starving Russian conscripts.
