I don't believe it's "coincidence" that South Ossetia broke the cease fire, and attacked Georgia, provoking huge retaliation, thus in turn, getting Russia to start bombing the crap out of Georgia. After all, how could Georgia be shooting down Russian bombers if they clearly weren't deep into Georgian airspace? I agree with Menago - Russia is losing power in the former bloc nations, and is testing the West to see exactly how far they can get. Thank God Poland is having the balls (at the moment) to say that Russia is trying to make a power play, and will do what's needed to stop it. I am all for Poland (and any other nation) sending forces to Georgia to try and force the Russians out of the region. |
It's probably also not a coincidence that russian troops had been building up on the border for months now. But hey... even if you do take it was a coincidence the whole thing was Russia's fault to begin with by setting up the South Ossetia territory during the soviet union era.
