"Peacekeeping" forces are typically sent to a 3rd party and often put in harm's way to enforce a given situation on the ground. To give a rough analogue, the UN peacekeepers (UNPROFOR) on the ground in the Yugoslav war were regularly attacked even while distributing humanitarian aid. Yet in Russia's view the didn't give the respective member nations of those attacked peacekeepers carte blanche to bomb or invade, and even after years of this they strongly strongly objected to the NATO air campaign against the Serbs (for the record I had mixed feelings about it too).
In South Ossetia the Georgians got rolled and then Russian forces proceeded crossed the border to enter soveriegn Georgian territory, did amphibous landings in Georgia elsewhere, sunk completely unrelated naval vessels, occupied cities, etc. Again I'm not even saying it was 'wrong' per se - was definitely effective - just that there was zero asking for international consensus for invading an independent country.
But like sambucas, I get that you're very proud of your nation. I remember other threads where you're like "Russian pilots are best fight pilots in world, blah blah blah" and various other strongly pro-Russian (and anti-gay if I recall) sentiment, so your response is to be expected.
Real real sorry I questioned your Great Leader Putin. Carry on with your bad selves.
