These Russia/Georgia headline really paint a one sided view, the articles haven't been as lopsided, but whenever I talk to someone they always say something to the effect of: "Oh Russia's doing this evil stuff"
The U.S., Georgia, and Russia are all handling this very poorly.
The U.S. has treaties with Russia saying that they wouldn't arm the former soviet union or extend membership into NATO, and they are.
Georgia has a treaty saying that they would not try to exert military pressure on the two regions in question.
Russia has a treaty saying that they wouldn't use military force in disputes over ethnically Russian provinces in former Soviet Union countries.
Yes, of course Russia is going to continue to move into Ossetia when Georgians are supposed to be moving out and aren't
Of course they're going to commandeer US equipment when there isn't supposed to be US equipment.
Georgia isn't going to leave Ossetia as long as they are harboring anti-Georgian pro-independence militants- when those provinces have an agreement not to endorse independence.
The US is going to supply weapons as long as Russia is expected to break their promise of not using military force in these areas.
All the parties are in the wrong, because nobody wants to give anything up.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
