Question

Why Russia attacked Georgia?what will be the future impact of this War?

Answer 1

Western Arms on it's doorstep ;What did the US do when Russia built missile silos in Cuba? It's a power game for sure,and actually Georgia started this one,Georgia is about as democratic as Egypt

Answer 2

You need to know what really happened. Why this propaganda is being spread IDK, BUT, Bush is condoning an act from Georgia of aggression on S. Ossetia of August 7, which killed 2,000 S. Ossetia women & children. Russia has been a peacekeeper for S. Ossetia (they want to be with Russia, don't know why but, oh well).

Two wrongs do not make a right BUT my child cannot do something wrong to another child and say BRING YOUR DADDY CUZ BY DAD WILL KICK HIS BUTT! IT IS NOT RIGHT.

Whatever happens America needs to let Georgia know that they cannot start fights and expect to be bailed out w/o some kind of punishment.

Georgia wants to be part of NATO and Russia is one of the country that has VETO it from being a part of it. I think this is ONE BIG REASON. (my opinion). You see they are saying that the aggression that Russia took was UNDUE POSTURING. But keep in mind GEORGIA STARTED IT AND WE SHOULD NOT CONDONE THIS AS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY!

If you notice Bush is saying that Russia is not in good stead with the world.  Actually Nato and the Security Coucil has weighed and you need to google.  I have tried to put sites in and then Yahoo says "We are taking a breather".   So, you need to google some things.

Answer 3

Russia wants to assert it's power over the Caucasus region and then regain control of Eastern Europe and the Balkans.  They feel insulted that Georgia chose NATO and the US over Russia, so they provoked an invasion by lying and saying over a thousand Ossetians had been killed.  The reality is that only 44 were confirmed dead by human rights watch, an internationally recognized non-partisan NGO.  The Russians have been provoking Georgia for a long time now, Georgia finally tried to take back what belonged to it.

The consequences will be to drive Ukraine into NATO and to boost support for the European missile shield.
