The situation in Russia at the moment.?

Question

Could someone please give me a summary (preferably quite a simple one) of what's happening please?

Thanks

Answer 1

Georgia launched an assault on Russian people living in part of Georgia. About 2000 were killed and thousands have fled their homes.

Russia quickly responded to repel the Georgians and protect the civilian russians.

Russia has been positive about resolving the situation quite quickly and engaged in talks with French president and Georgia to bring a return of law and order.

As part of the peace talks, Russia has given the order to withdraw, which is happening right now, hampered by sporadic shots and explosions.

Overall, it seems a large humanitarian crisis has been avoided , thanks to prompt Russian action. In less than a week after the initial attack by Georgia, law and order is being restored, peace talks have taken place and troops are being withdrawn.

I wish all conflicts could be resolved that quickly.

Answer 2

war

Answer 3

The Russians are playing the same old game that they have always done , they will promise procrastinate cajole anything but tell the truth or keep there word . in the meantime they will do as much damage to Georgies economy as possible before they leave and blame it all on the Oseans. As for believing Russias propaganda , I would rather believe a crack addict who hasn,t had a fix for a month . 10 villages wiped out what a load of old tosh and they bayneted babies as well of course, also beat up 90 year old ladies on crutches , Raped ythe local virgins, stole the churches money box and uncle tom coblers as well.

Answer 4

Anew cease fire was signed but both sides say it is being violated more war I suppose.

Answer 5

ITS STILL IN THE EAST

Answer 6

Russian Aggression against Georgia.

Answer 7

Russia wants to control all the oil flowing to all the former soviet satalite countries.

That is all this is about.

I am amused at the utter lack of outrage over this too, the US was accused of invading Iraq for oil but not Russia DOES do this and these same people say nothing.

Answer 8

Russia stepped in when Georgia started a campaign of ethnic cleansing against Russia citizens living in South Ossetia, 10 villages were wiped out in a matter of hours by Georgian forces & hundereds of people were murdered. Russia stepped in to protect its citizens and drive back and prevent any further aggression from the Georgian Military  !! :)
