2: Russian influence and backing in the region has created an insurgent and separatist movement within Ossetia.
3: Georgia says holy shit this is not cool and tries to deal with it diplomatically for several years.
4: Separatists firstly in Ossetia fire artillary into Georgia.
5: Georgia says fuck you and level's the place and begins to exterminate the separatists.
6: Russia moves in with Air strikes and Tank incursion within Georgian borders saying Georgian's have started this war by killing Civilians in its attempt to remove the Separatists.

Is that about right? That appears to be the basic drum roll based on what I have read in the BBC, CNN, and Other reports that could be found in English about this region. Most information comming out of the area regarding whats happening is in fucked up languages I do not understand.


I am gonna have to side with Georgia on this one. Georgian government has every right to remove separatists from there borders. Russian Meddling did not help the situation.

I hope the Ukriane blockades Russian vessel's. If ya ask me the Old Soviet block states need to stand up and keep Russia in check in it's attempt to expand it's authority while attempting to acquire important oil pipelines that run throughout that region.
