Answer 1

South Ossetia is a region in Georgia that has been trying to gain it's independence for some time. For what ever reason (there's a lot of contradicting information right now and no one really knows who fired the first shot) Georgia launched a military campaign into South Ossetia. Many of the South Ossetians have Russian citizenship so Russia intervened to protect it's citizens and drive Georgia out of South Ossetia (which they recognize as independent). After the Georgians were pushed out, reports came in from multiple news networks that Russia had begun to bomb areas outside of South Ossetia and have attacked deep into Georgia which is outside the conflict zone.. Whether they are targeting civilian or military positions is highly disputed.

Answer 2

Hi, I just posted some of this on another topic so, I'll put it here too.

Short Answer:

A war for a pipeline that runs through Georgia which serves 1% of world oil.

Going deeper:

First, a little history.

Georgia is a small country and has been under the control of Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. President Shevarnadze was Russia's man. Then came the Rose Revolution, which was led by local Georgian NGO's sponored by the Soros foundation (USA). Saakashvili and his party governed by the US overthrew the Georgian government and are still getting payed official salaries by the Soros foundation.

Georgia is the second post-soviet country that the US has siezed control of. The other one's Ukaraine (Orange Revolution).

Russia was mad. This spring US tried to sieze control of another post-soviet country, the naighbour of Georgia - Armenia (Dance Revolution). This attempt was unsuccessful, because Russia had strong roots in here. Inocent blood was shed in Armenia.

Now, in this region (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbayjan, Turkey) there is another conflict back from 1988. Azeris want Karabakh (An autonomy freed by Armenians in 1994). This is an open war. Ceasefire agreement was signed between the two nations, but it ended in 2004. The Russian government which is "ruling" Armenia doesn't want peace in the region, because it would mean open-borders and super-fast development of the region. This region is in a very stratigic geographical place. It connects Russia, Europe and Iran. The Russians obviously want straight access to Iran through Armenia), US wants its Allies near Iran.

US will do everything to keep Georgia. Of course US doesn't care about how many Georgians will die, what will happen to South Osetia, thats why US is acting very slowly and carefully allowing the conflict to end in it's own (if it is possible). US doesn't want a direct war with Russia, but that is also a possibility.

People, we are in a war! There is a war going on between Russia and USA since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Think about how many small conflicts like these have we seen during all this time (Kosovo was the last). And all of them, all of them are connected directly with Russia and USA. And no matter what country you are from, you are a part of this war. You are either on one side or the other. Call this WWIII if you want.

And to finish this I will give you one more reason for the Georgian conflict.

Russia has many small regions inside it (just like S. Osetia) which want independence. Russia has always wanted S. Osetia, but also feared that if S. Osetia freed itself peacefully from Georgia, all the other small regions inside Russia would want to follow that example. So now Russia is demonstrating its cruelty and showing them what will happen, if they have a problem with Russia.

Also, for people who think that the pro-western or Russian media aren't telling the truth. Of course they aren't. Pro-Western media is controlled by the ....... let's say, Power that is ruling the West. The Russian media is controled by Roman Abramovitch, a close friend of Vladimir Putin. Don't belive the media, try to take information from both of them and carefully analize it and you'll be closer to the truth

Answer 3

In short Georgia attack the small non-nation South Ossetia who's citizens is mostly Russians... Russia responded to its citizens after the attack and push back the Georgians back..... afterwards to make sure no more conflict against Russian citizens they invade Georgia and destroy its military base

Georiga is stupid for picking a fight knowing they have no chance of winning...

Also the US will not do nothing since it already have problems on its own.....
