georgia is the aggressor as much as the russians were actually peacekeepers.

lets see...the ossetians(who have been funded and supplied by russia) keep attacking and violate a cease fire. so georgia has had enough. their attack leaving under 100 people dead, mostly fighters.
russia then invades georgia, cluster bombs civilian areas, loots, shoots journalists, burn down towns, and intentionally killed civilians.

i get the information from unbiased sources like HRW. i guess your russian news services are much more likely to be telling the truth though since emperor putin tells them what to say.

 

It's very interesting that with low-medium amount of editing that's exactly what happened with Iraq too...

 

Also, I don't see how mentining the US is the only nation to utilize Nuclear weapons so far will reflect badly on someone. Yeah the US got attacked by Japan, but that doesn't mean that there should have been nuclear weapons involved, not at all. It's like me having a gun and shooting anyone who slaps/punches me just because I can and expect it to be justified. Then again, knowing the US culture that happens a hell of a lot too....

 

As to the actual topic, I'm only gonna agree with Russia here because they do have a point, if Kosovo pulled it off I don't see why these two provinces should not either. Yeah sure it will undermine the Georgian image of sovereignty (sp?) but no one gave a shit about that during the Kosovo split so I'm throwing a BS flag at that excuse.
