In 1991 the USA under George Bush recognized the pre-Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact 1933 borders as the border of Georgia to the consternation of Russia. South Ossetia was absorbed into the new Trans-Caucusas republic, despite the descendants of the Alans outnumbering the Georgians. The 1991 conflict between the two nationalities led to the exodus of nearly 100,000 Ossetians, leaving 60,000 of their kinsmen to support themselves through subsistence living. In 2004 Georgia attempted to assert control over smuggling, which was the # 1 source of extra income for the impoverished province.
Violence was endemic and on August 8 Georgian troops invaded South Ossetia in a campaign called 'ethnic cleaning' by the Russians, who responded to the threat by attacking their southern neighbor with gloves-off.
Why would Georgia take on Russia?
Because GW Bush is the son of George Bush.
The latter abandoned the Kurds or Shi'ites in Iraq after Gulf War 1.
Like father like son, although GW Bush appeared genuinely surprised that his forward-thinking encroachment on the Russians via the client state of Georgia was met with extreme force this weekend.
"We don't want to stay." The Russians president announced on TV after declaring a cease-fire.
South Ossetia is smaller than Rhode Island.
This war wasn't about South Ossetia, but GW Bush's wishes to place anti-missile defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic, for time is running out before he can ignite the Armageddon of World War III and welcoming the 2nd Coming of Jesus from the White House podium.
Mad?
You know it.
