Why and how did the Georgia Russia war start?

Question

who started it?

who is to blame?

Answer 1

Saakashvili violated the 1992 non-agression pact.

He attacked South Ossetia.

Russia went to defend its citisens in South Ossetia.

Geogrians had dozens of victims. South Ossetians had thousands.

Georgians WIPED OUT the South Ossetian capital.

Russia managed to throw the Georgians out of South Ossetia.

Now it's all over , and Russian peacekeepers are still on the border of South Ossetia , watching out and making sure the Georgians don't recommence the aggression.

Answer 4

South Ossetians attacked Georgian forces. Georgia attacked South Ossetians - who in some cases have had Russian passport since mid 1990s - and Russia attacked Georgia.

The Associated Press, who visited the South Ossetian capital on Monday the 11th of August, didnt find evidence to support Russian claim of a "wiped out city", but reported heavy damage around govermental centre and broken windows in residential areas. The Georgian government has appealed to ICJ to investicate the possible violations in the region and to clear their name from Russian accusations.

According to international law "peacekeeper" cannot have a side on the crisis therefore Russian military forces cannot anymore be called as such. Instead the usage of peacekeepers on one side of a conflict is a blatant violation of international law.
