What do you think about the Russians attacking Georgia, are they right or is this Putin and his puppet

Question

President flexing muscle to the west again.. I personally belive and have always believed that Russia is still a major threat to the west..

Answer 1

Here you have it from AC360: "If you’ve never heard of South Ossetia it’s understandable.

This tiny, mountainous region in the Republic of Georgia, population only 70,000, considers itself independent from Georgia and lives that way, with its own secessionist government. Most of its citizens, ethnic Ossetians, want to be reunited with Ossetians in Russia; many of them even have Russian passports and use Russian money.

The South Ossetians have held two referendums on independence but no country in the world has recognized their vote.

Now, South Ossetia is engulfed in fighting, refugees are fleeing north to Russia and the international community is scrambling to avert a wider conflict."

People can't secede anymore? If they want, let them do it in a peaceful way before it gets ugly.

We do not know if the Georgia's government weren't going after the Ossetians before. Are you able to read their newspapers? Were you following this story before?

Answer 2

To "angrycat"

Kosovo has a right to break because serbs tried to exterminate them just like they tried in croatia and bosnia.  And no one can live with serbs.  Thank god Kosovo is independent now and Serbia just kept going smaller and smaller.  Georgia didn't try to exterminate South Ossetia.  Russia gave them citizienship so that it could intervene and say that they were trying to defend russians.  

Answer 3

Georgia didn't have a right to invade Southern Ossetia in the first place.

Russia isn't a threat to th West, but it has its own interests. And it has a right to defend its interests like the USA does it in Afghanistan and Iraq.

And keep in mind, that those countries didn't ask the USA for help, while S.Ossetia did ask Russia to rescue them.

And since when Iraq is an American state?

And why Kosovo has a right to break away and S. Ossetia doesn't have such right?

Uh-huh, and then that kickers sponsored by the USA created 911 and now the USA has to fight with them.

And who kicked whos butt in Vietnam?
