Does Russia want S. Ossetia to be independent or Georgia alone, or to re-unite with Russia?

Question

Why does it care if it remains part of Georgia, or becomes an independent state? Either way, it will not reunite with N. Ossetia since that means it will voluntarily want to become part of Russia. So why does Russia care either way?

Answer 1

S. Ossetia is part of Russia period.

president of georgia, want to incorporate / or grab it ....big mistaked

Answer 2

ooo, cupcake darling you again! now at least you know the names of the countries and republics you are talking bout.... and happy to notice-not as agressive about russians!.... have you read some history books or switched off us media?)))))

......nahh u didnt, naughty girl again talking bout something she has no idea about, you know saakashvilli did the same ....and now he is in "trouble", even Bush said that Saakashvilli "tricked" him, bad boy Saakashvilli will now be panished by his ally against Russia-nato and bush...

Answer 3

There was a voting and 99% of Osetians voted independent state.

Why do you twist and tangle and alter facts - Russia is on a piece keeping mission there and 2000 civillians were slaughtered so actions had to be taken.Russia wants nothing!

Answer 4

Since Russia is issuing everyone there Russian Passports what do you think? Of course they want them back in the fold. They would love to regain the glory years of the USSR.

Answer 5

both.

1. If everyone is a Russian citizen it makes reuniting easier.

2. If it is independant then it allows the people to be a buffer, somewhat independant.

I think.
