It is just something russia needs to do to protect its troops and people, just in case georgia does something stupid. Nato are stup1d doing this war games, and its just something russia needs to do, to protect the new provinces also.

Thx for the heads up

Exactly. It's NATO's very presence and instigation of Ossetia to break away from Georgia that ignited an attack on Russian people a couple of months ago. How would we like it if a foreign power was doing exercises in say Cuba (that's not a good example, but it'll do) and they talked south Florida into breaking away from the state? So south Florida breaks away from Florida state, and Florida state starts firing on south Florida and BINGO, a war on American soil has started.

In such a scenario, Washington would of course react. Washington and every single American citizen would be furious at the foreign power for instigating trouble right on American soil, let alone conducting war exercises so close to America's borders. Obviously, that's an extremely provocative practice with obvious intentions.

Well that's exactly what NATO is doing to Russia, provoking the hell out of them. Nobody can blame Russia for sending in troops. America would do exactly the same thing.

If you didnt know already Georgia is actually the rogue state here. It claimed Russian lands without provocation.

The media just loves to put the blame on Russia because of cold war tensions.
Russia is in defensive mode not offensive.

can anyone link me that video putin made after the war on august saying something like the enemy has been punished and their infrastructure has been crippled. Something like that

thanks

The Georgian government lost my respect the moment I learnt that over 90 percent of people in South Ossetia and Abkhazia want their independence from Georgia.
That in addition to cultural distinctions, there are also genetic-ethnic differences to Georgians because up and till around 200 years ago Ossetia used to be a nation in it’s own right.
Georgia lost more respect when it a country with 30 tanks, killed (without warning) Russian troops (a nation who posses over 6500 tanks).

And surely Georgia doesn’t deserve any political respect as long as it rigs it's own elections, keeps political prisoners, sprays chemicals on crowds and is so corrupt that it they’ve become nothing but a pawn to the richest nations-powers on earth.

If Russia was truly a rogue surely it would have done what most nuclear powers may do if an aggressive army attacked their troops on their border?
So in my frank opinion Georgian is lucky to have a capital; let alone a border with Russia.

All we are seeing with the Nato exercise, is another U.S proxy attack through Georgia.
It’s the same face of the same game that aims to punish Moscow for not being corrupt enough to open itself up to foreign investment in the way many Western media share portfolio holders would like.
It’s for this reason the only time Russia and America really got along was when a drunk Yeltsin was in charge. This is because he removed many “investment” barriers causing the rape of the Russian economy, and which are in fact still being reversed-recovered from by Medvedev’s-Putins United Russia party.

Wow. So Russian federation just took a part of other country, and you guys are exstatic. So Georgians started this war - ok, their leaders should be blamed. But how it exactly justifies annexation of the territory of same Georgia??? No country in the world, including Russia's allies (who happen to be its neighbours) , agreed with this move.
Nato/US troops out of Georgia? How about Russian and Nato troops out of Georgia? Isn't it more just...
And as for South Osetians and Abkhazians - they clearly do not want to be in Georgia. There was poll. Ok. Was there a poll if they want to be in Russian federation? Russians used the tension in the area (just as Americans did) but they did not only placed their leaders (this is where American involvement stops) - they took a bite of Georgian territory. Empire strikes back. And i do not know why someone who lived in a country that was part of this empire's ancestor and a country that had its parts much more viciously taken - can see it as a positive thing.

It's all going as the Henoch prophecies predicted. Russia attacks NATO, invades Europe and Germany and eventually nukes USA.

The beginning of WW3 is playing out right in front of your eyes.

You guys crack me up. It's wrong for the US to invade Iraq but yet it's ok for Russia to invade Georgia? Ahhh, I see .... it's only wrong when the US is the aggressor .
