How did all started: the war between Russia and Georgia

Question

was it Georgia part of NATO before?

Did the Russian invaded without reason?

I am not sure. someone inform me

Answer 1

This is about a piece of land called South Ossetia with an ethnic independence movement.

The Georgians fought the South Ossetians a few years back, then agreed to a long term truce. Georgia broke that truce this month. Russian peacekeepers arrived because there were concerns about the ethnic Russians present in South Ossetia and the safety of Russian citizens.

Georgia is not part of NATO, although they'd very much like to be officially in the fold of their western overlords.

Answer 2

Georgia is not part of NATO.  They have applied to be a member.

Supposedly Georgian military made moves into the province where the action is to suppress insurgents who want to separate from Georgia and go back to russian control.  The russians heard that the Georgian forces were killing all including civilians and getting rid of all russians in the province (called in genocide) so went in to stop the killing.  Then of course the russian and georgian military fight each other.  The russians escalated by attacking georgian military targets deeper in georgian territory not just those in the disputed province.  

This has caused the bigger problems of complaints of russian aggression etc.

Answer 3

RUSSIA is a PROVOCATIVE, RUTHLESS, AGGRESSOR !!!

It started with Ossetian Provocations on the de facto borders. However, After little shootouts Georgia declared unilateral cease fire. It lasted several hours but Ossetian separatists - or let me say the ones that did not wish to stop - continued shooting and taking "lives of Georgian villagers".

Georgia was alarmed and decided to "restore constitutional order" in the region or maybe they meant over the ones that did not stop shooting. Anyhow, that is what Russians waited for so long and decided to "make them pay" (Vladimir Putin) for what they did. (what Georgians did on their OWN legitimate,sovereign territory.)

It was easy for them to mobilize troops because they have been stationed near the borders for WEEKS.http://mnweekly.ru/news/20080718/5533837...

Prompting Georgia to think it was a well pre planned provocation. and that is what I think. Russia does not want Georgia to enter NATO. Russia does not want stable Georgia. I am sure they will find something with Ukraine too. Things like pro Russian region Crimea in Ukraine and so on and so forth to mount tensions and Black mail them. Very aggressive. War criminals !
