20 years ago it wouldn’t have been too funny of a mistake. Things have really changed.

Actually, given McCain wanting to “take on” Russia, Bush putting missiles right next to them, and our military “advisers” in Georgia right now, maybe its just a little prescient.

I saw this somewhere else, too. If you zoom in on the map, it’s centered at Java Ct, Georgia. Googlemaps by default take you to that street when you type in Java, Georgia.

Russia attacks Georgia and it’s neat that Google Maps fucked up.
Yeah, real neat.

Yeah the post totally neglected to recognize the fact that peoples lives are about to get f***** up and their childhood homes distroyed, civilians killed, naive soldiers killed…but it is kinda funny that google maps screwed up, some acknowledgment would’ve been nice though.

I wonder how many Southerners wet themselves…

The south is home to a huge number of military bases. If a country did hypothetically decide to invade the US, the south is probably the best protected, both in terms of military presence and number of hunters that could and would take to the woods. They sit around and talk about shit like that just in case. I know people with separate plans in case there’s a war on American soil, or in case there’s a zombie apocalypse. Its all in good fun, but hell, you can’t be too sure.

lol, if you look at this map you could think, that Russia is invading the US. How funny Google made this big mistake. However I don’t think this will never happen in reality. But why can’t live people in harmony? What could be the reason to start such war? Aren’t there enough other problems in the world which should be solved?
