Is the US/UK financial oligarchy using conflict with Russia to distract from global financial breakdown? ?

Question

What exactly was Georgia hoping to achieve by the artillery shelling of a city killing 2000 Russian citizens?

Answer 1

No - Russia started the war with Georgia for their own selfish reasons!  The Russians are going on a giant killing spree - killing innocent civilians so they can:

* control Georgia's oil transportation/supply routes from the Caspian Sea and thus control ALL of Europe's energy inputs

* intimidate Georgia into not joining NATO

* push Georgia from becoming a true democracy on Russia's border

* punish Georgia for allying with the US

* move towards re-creating the USSR

Answer 2

It is timed rather interestingly.

U.S. news media aren't mentioning it, but Israel is heavily involved with Georgia and has been training their ground forces and providing weapons. There is oil involved. The BTC pipeline from the Caspian Sea, across Turkey to the Meditterranean from where it can be shipped to the West. A spur is also planned to run across Lebanon to Israel.
