My Enemy's Enemy is my Friend....

Seems the only rationale for Nicaragua - in the person of Daniel Ortega - to have decided to join Mother Russia in extending diplomatic recognition to South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Can't see that going down well on the North side of the Rio Grande, frankly....

I doubt that Nicaragua will go so far as to open embassies in Sukhumi or Tskhinvali. Note the retina-burning quality of the South Ossetian flag:

That's a white stripe at the top, by the way. One for that splendid New Zealander who hosts the Flag rating website to take a look at, I think.

Thanks for the flag flying site. I like the comment beside Libya's (grade B) flag.

Good, isn't it? It never fails to make me smile.
