Once again, you have no clue. Russia is not defending its own teritorry (i would call u some names cause im so pissed at your ignorance but i wont cause i just registered and dont wanna cause shit).
The territory you are talking about is Georgia's. You are missing the point here. Two two breakaway regions are autonomous. They are part of Georgia still. They are not internationally recognized as independent even though they declare in their "own world" that they have independence. So the fighting that is going on is not on Russian territory, but on Georgia's territory, as so therefore, Georgia is defending its own territory you bonehead (sorry couldn’t resist).
No, Medvedev did not call Saakashvili and told him to attack those two breakaway regions. I said it was a coming plan from RUSSIAN side. Russia was planning this attack ever since probably early 90’s in order to gain that land.
Ever since the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia has been outrages towards those countries who went on their own to become independent. Especially to those that are pro western and pro democratic. This include Georgia and Ukrane. Russia can't seem to swollow this big blow. Shit, even Putin called it the greatest misfortune or some shit about the collapse of Soviet Union. Now, you can look at this and say Russia is just playing the 'big brother' role in trying to keep the things under control with Georgia and those two breakaway regions. But in reality if you just stand back, they can care less about those two regions. Those two regions are not rich in resources so they can't gain shit besides the territory. TERRITORY? bingo, thats excatly what they are aiming at. They have those breakaway regions presidents set up as their puppets (two presidents are most likely brought from Russia to be in charge of those two breakaway regions). Russia is telling them ''we are going to make sure we will protect you'' and they being the stupid they are are saying yes yes yes to everything Russia says to them. But down the line, they will annex those breakway regions. Get it got it? Good.
I agree in some way that our president was a bit foolish that he went on to attack Russia like that, plus if we also keep in mind that he was given the green light from US to do so (according to Jokermans’s theory which is probably true). But, the Russian forces were already occupying the regions there and they were actually moving in deep inside the regions. So, Georgia was under attack and we have no choice but to strike back to defend out territory. Yes, we expected the retaliation of course, but who in their right mind would stand back and allow their troops to just roll into the country and not do anything.
Lastly, please don’t say Russia has peacekeepers there. They are NOT peacekeepers (this is where media goes wrong buying into what Russia says). There have been Human Right Watch reports and other international reports confirming that Russia does NOT have peacekeepers there. They are simply military forces who are armed and ready to do whatever.
