Is anyone tired of hearing how Russia is bullying Georgia.?

Question

The media doesn't show both sides of the conflict.

There has been little talk about how Georgia attacked South Ossetia and Russia is merely protecting the nation. Its annoying how Western leaders (Bush Mainly) are "condemning" Russia's actions.

This may be old new already but I want people's opinions.

Answer 1

I think that most world leaders are afraid that Russia is returning to its old expansionist ways.

The leaders aren't fearful of Georgia as a player on the world stage.

So, they will tend to focus on Russia's actions and motives, rather than worrying about Georgia's perceived aggression toward another nation.

Answer 2

Russia is trying to save the influence on Post soviet Republics, but these republics invaded 90-70 years ago Know know price of Russian hegemony and slavery and are trying to escape it by becoming NATO members, they hope that NATO will Protect them.

If you See National Interests Of Russia, Proved By Duma in 2001 you'll see on statement, that Russians National interest is to become center in multipolar World and spread its influence on Caucasus, Eastern Europe and they central Asia.

In fact National interests of Post soviet Countries (about becoming NATO members) intervenes with Russians National Interest and that causes Conflict (war). If these countries Become NATO member than Russia won't have any influence and will lose it's national interest, that is most important think for any country.

Russia Claims to be Democratic (according to Freedom house it's democracy level is quite Poor and is falling every year),so it can't just go in another country and invade it (spread influence by putting there puppet government) and is seeking for reasons or Creating Reasons. Russia Provocated Georgia By killing it's Soldier in S. Ossetia conflict Region and by shooting Georgian Villages in the Region. Georgian government lost Temper and responded on aggression. Russia had already prepared militaries as was planning this provocation long before and began invading Georgia, it's main Roads, Railways, ports..

Russia Hoped to:

1) Overthrow Democratic government and put their puppets Loyal to PutMed.

2) Underline the fact that it has a power and Russians Militaries are strong enough to conquer a country (in this case Tiny Georgia)

3) Show Nato that they are to accept Country with serious threats that puts hole Nato to threat and in this way frighten tham.

4) To Show the world that only pipeline that doesn't cross Russia and goes to Europe through Georgia isn't as safe as thay sought.

Russia is becoming Evil Empire and if it won't be able to satisfy it's ambitions and appetite as a revenge probably will become partner with Iran and N. Korea (they sell lot's of Armour already there)

Answer 3

Yes, I am Russian and I am always horrifying when reading western press. That's a mere disinformation! No facts but emotions, no proof to what they are saying. Our media is biased too, of course, but it does give us actual facts with their explanations, not only explanations. Your media just doesn't respect you, if I may say.
