Did the US encourage Georgia to attack S. Ossetia ? Or was it their own idea.

i'd be prone to say yes, the china trip is suspicious, but i wonder if that crazy georgian president didn't think he could push nato into bringing him in as a member if he had control of the breakaways, ossetia and abzakhia. still, i've never trusted the bush family, and planting american influence into former soveit republics certainly sounds like something they'd like to do.

We did most likely. Since we arm and train the georgian military. People who are step children of the usa (like israel) cannot make thier own descisions (also like israel). Thier every move is determined by those who determine policy, paid for by us.

There is a oil pipeline there that our politicians want to control. Same reason why we backed the genocide in serbia.

People of the world. You deceive! World mass media conduct propagation of a false information. Russia DID NOT ATTACK Georgia! 07.08.2008 at 22:00 Georgia has attacked South Ossetia. At 3:30 08.08.2008 tanks of the Georgian armies have entered into city Tskhinvali. Artillery bombardment all the day long proceeded, fights with use of tanks and heavy combat material, both against ossetic armies, and against peace inhabitants were conducted. 2000 civil people already were lost. The Russian peacemakers have arrived to South Ossetia in the evening 08.08.2008 for settlement of the conflict and prompting of the world in republic and protection of the Russian citizens living on territory of South Ossetia. Georgia has attacked South Ossetia on eve of Olympiad, it is top of cruelty and cynicism.

Where do you people come up with such idiot crap? You morons invaded a sovereign nation with an antique armored force that took 10 days to build up before you started shelling Georgia, then when they retailate, you invade. Straight out of Hitlers playbook. Stalin would be proud, but the history books are never going to buy it.

I think Georgia fantasized that the US would rush to their aid if they attacked. They're fools.

The US gets enough blame for every conflict. Georgia is going to have to take credit for this one.

Georgia is playing chess hoping to draw in the US, ain't happening

Of course, nobody can do anything on their own without the US being behind it. Doesn't anyone ever get tired of the some broken record mindset.
