Doesn't anyone find this incredibly hypocritical for Russia to defend South Ossetia?
I mean, just a few years ago, they had the same type of conflict - Chechnya wanted to break away and become it's own independent republic, and Russia bombed them back to the stone age. Why is it now that suddenly, Russia wants to take an active interest in helping these 2 locations inside Georgia, break away, when it took even more drastic measures than Georgia to force Chechnya into submitting to the Russian regime.
Oh wait...Could it be because Russia wants to keep as much power, and gain as much pre-breakup land as possible, and install as many puppet governments as possible?
Same old soviet-style BS.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
