But not the rest of Georgia, or Ukraine, or Belarus, right?

Better write Putin a stern note, I'm sure he'll back off.

They won't do that, Georgia attacked, Russia retaliated, simple as that.

Agreed. Georgia's playing the bully this month.

South Ossetia is Georgian territory that has been attacking Georgia for years now.

Russia has no right to take another nations land.

What happened prior to August 7th?

You will discover 'South Ossetian' forces were attacking Georgian forces.

You will also discover Russian forces had been reinforced...quite a lucky coincidence for them.

This is not about who has the right to do what. This is about power and will. Russia's will is what's going to win at the end of the day.

The Russians will blink when US 'humanitarian' aid starts arriving....on US military craft.

They will not, because they know, just as well as you and I do, that the military aircraft will leave once the aid is delivered. They know that we are not going to get involved. They have called our bluff and won. There is no issue here.
