Are we going to war with russia? they attacked georgia, whats the deal on that?

Question

yea i was talking about georgia the country, r we going to intervene?

Answer 1

Why noone understand the question here, I read the question and then different answers.

I can't say if you are going to war with Russia, I just can say that international community is against Russia's aggresion and a delegation of European and US envoys are already in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia

Answer 2

Well it certainly seems that WESTERN INFLUENCE  always play a part in war everywhere you go on this planet.

Here's what's happening and the perspective take from two angles so if the USA gets involved at this point...count on a huge war 30 times Iraq forming there - get those battle-weary soldiers ready....RUSSIA is going to clearly win this war.

Is the USA up to another battle???? Likely WW3 indeed!!!!  Are you starting to feel the LOVE YET people?

PS: Ossetia was given independence by Russia over 10 years ago.  Two agendas are at work here.

Georgia and South Ossetia have been squared off in an uneasy peace for more than a decade, now, since the region broke away from Georgia in the early '90s, following its independence from the Soviet Union. After a protracted war that killed around 1,000 people and displaced thousands more ethnic Georgians from the territory, Georgia was compelled to sign a cease-fire agreement that left South Ossetia - a tiny mountainous territory a few football fields smaller than Rhode Island - effectively autonomous, but unable to secure recognition by the international community. Still, Russia has protected the region, providing finance, military protection and even passports, and has used South Ossetia's secession, together with that of Abkhazia, another breakaway region of Georgia, as leverage against Tblisi's desire to join NATO. Moscow sees Georgia's move towards NATO as part of a strategy of hostile encirclement of Russia by Western powers, and when the Western alliance enabled Kosovo's secession from Serbia earlier this year despite the fact that its independence is not recognized by the United Nations, many analysts expected Russia to retaliate by further stoking the fires of secession in Georgia.

Georgia's President Mikhail Saakashvili has a different agenda - he won election in 2004 on promise to recover the breakaway territories, and to join NATO. So closely has he courted the U.S. that Georgia today has 2,000 troops in Iraq, the third-largest contingent after the U.S. and Britain, although Tbilisi has now indicated it will have to bring at least half of them home to deal with the security crisis in South Ossetia. But the Georgian leader's latest actions will be read by some as designed to force the hand of NATO members reluctant to press the issue of handing membership to Georgia for fear of provoking a Russian backlash. So, after a couple of days of skirmishing along the unofficial border between his forces and those of the separatists, the Georgian leader launched a full-blown invasion whose aim, his government said, was to "restore constitutional order," that is, control by the central government, in South Ossetia. Plainly, the offensive was a gamble, because Saakashvili should have had little doubt about Moscow's readiness to defend the separatists. Moreover, NATO officials had repeatedly warned the Georgian government against launching any attempt to resolve the dispute through military means. Still, he pressed forward.

PS: So having used the West and NATO...this Georgian guy set his own agenda and proceeded despite their warnings not to.

So now you got p*ssed Russians, and p*ssed westerners and thanks to some pee brain in power he created the catalyst for another war to ensue amongst their ever fighting superpowers.

This is what happens when BIG POWERS stand up to these stupid people and how you ALL get embroiled in wars that are STUPID to fight in the first place.

Did anyone catch the co-incidence of Ossetians speaking Iranian by the way????

Answer 3

It was Georgia who attacked Southern Ossetia.

Russian troops only came after Georgian forces were shelling Ossetia for 15 hours and the UN did nothing to stop it.

After Kosovo, S.O. either has a right to breakaway.

The USA should stay out of it or the WWIII is coming.

Answer 4

Looks like Czechoslovakia and Russian tank diplomacy again to me.

Too bad the region can't stand united.   There needs to be tanks or a few kiloton warheads heading to Moscow for Putan to get the message.  Surely one of the previous satellite slave nations has put a couple away.

Answer 5

Americans should try to fix their own problems and nothing else and not try to tell other people how to solve their problems.

Here is a text from your own media:

"If you’ve never heard of South Ossetia it’s understandable.

This tiny, mountainous region in the Republic of Georgia, population only 70,000, considers itself independent from Georgia and lives that way, with its own secessionist government. Most of its citizens, ethnic Ossetians, want to be reunited with Ossetians in Russia; many of them even have Russian passports and use Russian money.

The South Ossetians have held two referendums on independence but no country in the world has recognized their vote.

Now, South Ossetia is engulfed in fighting, refugees are fleeing north to Russia and the international community is scrambling to avert a wider conflict."

If people want to separate, leave them.

Answer 6

OK, most of you are clearly misinformed, Georgia has signed a cease-fire and even a peace treaty with the Russian Federation and they have ignored this and have gone deeper and deeper into undisputed Georgian territory even by seizing the city of Gori which is not too far away from the capital. Many people are speculating that Russia is trying to piece back its former Soviet Empire, and that very well could be true. If all they wanted was that small strip of land, why would they go so deep into territory that is clearly not theirs? If there is an aggressor here, it certainly is not Georgia

Answer 7

Sorry but Georgia is the aggressor here.

Answer 8

No, Georgia the country, not the state. We're all completely fine.

Answer 9

RUSSIA did nothing wrong. I am Russian, and I know the situation. Georgia invaded South Ossetia, and then Russian tried to make them stop fighting. Georgian killed thousands of people both from Russia and South Ossetia. I heard one man say he had seen an old woman running away with her two little kids and tank run over her. It's insane, and I am shocked how this war is represented in the USA.
