Answer 1

No it is not. It is more like the annexation of Austria:)

I hope Putin die soon

Answer 2

There is no invasion of Russia into Georgia. But there is an invasion of Georgia into South Ossetia which is called "genocide".  

Answer 3

I can imagine attacks continuing past Georgia and invading other country in between Iran...Russia and Iran will unite land masses to form a strong alliance border.. keeping out US or isreali from attacking its nuclear facility. Then desperate China is in economic ruin by the lack of energy being ship from Iran to its country. so they join sides with Russia and Iran for support...

Russia-nuclear weapons , China-over population(large mass of infantry),Iran- Rich in oil(fuel military domination)

^^WWIII

Answer 8

It could be that this is the start of something bigger. Time will tell. If so, then there is nothing you or any of us can do about it.  

Answer 9

   Well. The first thing is that Georgia attacked S.Ossetia. And killed more than 1500 people. Then mr. Saakashvili turned off all the Russian TV channel in his country to do not show all the truth about the war. But here in Russia u can watch all the Georgian channels if you want. Thirdly his government began to disinformate the west channels about the war. From time to time his asks Russia to stop the war but actually Georgian troops still kill Russian peacemakers and the citizens. It is an ethnic purge. Mr. Saakashvili kills own citizens! S. Ossetia and Abkhazia will never be parts of The criminal regime again! Noone would be!!! The war is still go on and if the West still supports The adventures of Saakashvili the result will be terrible!  

Answer 10

Are you idiot? I think Russia fight against Georgia's terrarism!!! Russian learneds find in Georgia nuclear weapon, but USA don't know about it.

Answer 11

This analogy would only apply if Poland had launched a military attack on the Free City of Danzig and shelled German civilians there first.  

Answer 12

Well, Russia hasn't invaded Georgia for one thing.

Russia is a democracy, not a fascist dictatorship.

Georgia is a dictatorship, not  democracy.

Georgia attacked Russia, Poland did not attack Germany.

It's 2008, not 1939.

Basically, no, there's no real comparison between the two.
