They however were not recognized by the rest of the world as an independant country. 2) Infact Nato and the UN mostly considered that soil to be Goergian. 3) Goergia attacked the rebels to unify the country and win the civil war... 4) ...however Russia moved in tons of troops and faught Goergia out of its territory then single handadly recognized the Ossetian territory as independant. 5) Its like Chechnya for example. Their are thousands of rebels fighting for an independant state. At times these rebels have formed their own Governments. These rebels right daily, now how would Russia like it if Nato invaded and declaired Chechnya an independant country? 6) A civil war is a civil war. Russia just decided to go in and divide Goergia up. Goergia could have won the war a nd unified the country which infact is what they were doing before Russia interfered. Only the UN has the right to draw up borders and consider new countries independant. Russia can't just draw borders where ever they feel like, theirs do process to be followed. |
Not sure how discussion went from bombers to Ossetian war, but ok...
It is Georgia, spell it right at least, when you're talking about things you're absolutely ill-informed.
1) Russian peackeepers served under UN mandate in the region, therefore they were placed there by international community to keep security of the region. Together with ossetian milita they were holding Georgians back before the arrival of 58th Army. This was their mission and they've accomplished it. Would you have some respect to the people died there?
2) What NATO has to do with the conflict at all? None of NATO countries were involved (at least formally).
3) BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launchers, which were used in first attack of Georgian army, ain't the weapon you use against sparse, scattered all over the region ossetian army focres, unless big number of civilians deaths is what you expect. Up to 1700 civilians were killed. Given reports from the place, you'd totally expect a full scale genocide unless reinforcement hasn't arrived.
FYI this was fourth Georgian attack in last 17 years, hence peackeepers. Georgians violated Sochi agreement (1992) and Moscow agreement (1994). Saakashvili made few attempts to escalate conflicts in South Ossetia and Abkhazia, such as "little war of Tliakan" in August 2004 as well as military presence of Georgian army in Kodori thus violating Moscow agreement.
4) Kosovo precedent, UN has been warned that what they've made to Kosovo will have consequences. Everything else is just hypocrisy.
5) Not being arrogant, but NATO would have been kicked out there pretty fast.
6) Look 1).
