Why is georgia and russia in a war????!?

Question

its pathetic how peeps keep on starting wars :l

but like howd this war begin#??!<3

Answer 1

russia invade Georgia for oil

Answer 2

Basically Ossetia was part of Georgia and declared independence so the Georgians didn&#039;t really like that they attacked and some Russian citizens were killed in the process so Russia attacked.  

Answer 3

Georgia attacked Russian peacekeepers and killed about 10 of them at first night of this war. Russia have to defence its peacekeepers.

Answer 4

That US-educated Georgian president had the belief that everyone will rush to his aid if he was contronted by the massive military machine of Russia regardless of his own actions,thus neglecting the effects of his ill-prepared crash campaign.If he didn`t killed the Ossetians and Russian peacekeepers by lobbing shells over the region blindfold,or at least pulled out his forces fast and swiftly right before a Russian response,then he might have succeeded in his scheme of framing Russia as the main aggressor.

Answer 5

I think it was because Russia owned some city but them they moved to georgia then russia wanted it back so they invaded not to sure tho I&#039;m probly wrong

Answer 6

You&#039;re smarter than most. This was in the works for over a year. Putin needs the pipeline that bypasses Russia in order to bring Europe under his control. He documents it all in his thesis on bringing back the Soviet Union. Those who support Russia are only parroting what they are told. It isn&#039;t their fault.  

Answer 7

During the last yers Russian influence in Europe incresaed but it seems like somebody didn&#039;t like that. So Georgia with Bush on it&#039;s back attacked ossetia. Saakashvili knew that russia will come to defend russian citizens of the ossetia. It wasn&#039;t broadcasted by the mass media but more than a thousand of russian peacemakers were simply killed by georgian artillery. So now Russia is considered as an agressor and it&#039;s influence in Europe falls down.

Answer 8

Russia doesn&#039;t want Georgia and the Ukraine to join NATO.  They don&#039;t like the idea of having countries that were once under their control (as part of the USSR) becoming democratic countries. Since Russia has been revamping and strengthing their military, which was before, poorly equipt, poorly armed and poorly paid, I suspect they have an idea to gather up all of the countries they lost and force them back to re-form the USSR.  The way they are acting sure isn&#039;t gaining them any favor in the world community!

Answer 9

South Ossetia was part of Georgia, declared itself independent in the 1990s, many Russians live there, Russia vowed to protect them. Georgians did a bit of &#039;ethnic cleansing&#039; in Ossetia, Russia stepped in.

We await the rest...

Milliband&#039;s posturing will sure make Russia quake in it&#039;s boots!

Answer 10

It&#039;s Bush&#039;s pre-text for WW3. Look it up. Rice just signed a missle deal with Poland. Iran war soon to come following New World Order. Grab your tin foil hats b*****s you&#039;re gonna need them.

Answer 11

Russia is trying to save the influence on Post soviet Republics, but these republics invaded 90-70 years ago Know know price of Russian hegemony and slavery and are trying to escape it by becoming NATO members, they hope that NATO will Protect them.

If you See National Interests Of Russia, Proved By Duma in 2001 you&#039;ll see on statement, that Russians National interest is to become center in multipolar World and spread its influence on Caucasus, Eastern Europe and they central Asia.

In fact National interests of Post soviet Countries (about becoming NATO members) intervenes with Russians National Interest and that causes Conflict (war). If these countries Become NATO member than Russia won&#039;t have any influence and will lose it&#039;s national interest, that is most important think for any country.

Russia Claims to be Democratic (according to Freedom house it&#039;s democracy level is quite Poor and is falling every year),so it can&#039;t just go in another country and invade it (spread influence by putting there puppet government) and is seeking for reasons or Creating Reasons. Russia Provocated Georgia By killing it&#039;s Soldier in S. Ossetia conflict Region and by shooting Georgian Villages in the Region. Georgian government lost Temper and responded on aggression. Russia had already prepared militaries as was planning this provocation long before and began invading Georgia, it&#039;s main Roads, Railways, ports..

Russia Hoped to:

1) Overthrow Democratic government and put their puppets Loyal to PutMed.

2) Underline the fact that it has a power and Russians Militaries are strong enough to conquer a country (in this case Tiny Georgia)

3) Show Nato that they are to accept Country with serious threats that puts hole Nato to threat and in this way frighten tham.

4) To Show the world that only pipeline that doesn&#039;t cross Russia and goes to Europe through Georgia isn&#039;t as safe as thay sought.

Russia is becoming Evil Empire and if it won&#039;t be able to satisfy it&#039;s ambitions and appetite as a revenge probably will become partner with Iran and N. Korea (they sell lot&#039;s of Armour already there)

Answer 12

Bush started it.
