I suppose there were bound to be situations like this when all the countries were given back their independence when the USSR was dissolved. I don’t know much about this at all, except what other people have already said, about Ossietia being parcelled out to Georgia etc.
I guess it is like the Basque movement in Spain, or the Kurds.
It’s nothing new and certainly not the only current dispute!

Why isn’t Wales on that list? :wink:
Because we can’t get rid of them!

that is a lot of boundary disputes… :shock: :lol:
The solution is
I seem to remember a state some while back which was suppressing one section of its community in an area called Kosovo- the West didnt like it and felt the need to step in with bombs etc.
That state was Serbia, of which Russia is an historical as well as recent ally- as Georgia was suppressing ethnic Russians in South Ossetia- what is the difference?
In fact. ultimately we effected regime change in Serbia through our military actions in Kosovo and changed to a regime which was much more friendly to the West- if Russia did the same in Georgia and maniupluated a new regime which was Kremlin friendly..is that really any different than our actions in Kosvo?
I’m afraid I’m on Russia’s side here.
Georgie invaded South Ossetia and started systematically ethnically cleaning it. The Georgians have committed genocide, shooting on sight anyone with a Russian passport.
The Russians in retaliation have sent a large force to save the South Ossetians, and are bombing the borders of Georgia to halt and delay any further attacks from the evil Georgians.
Nice work, comrades.
