How's the weather in Philly?

It's over, georgia have shut the fuck up, if a chunk of your people want to break away from you and they want to hang with the big kid it is best to leave them to it.

Why do they even care if they break away? Unless they are sitting on some oil or gold i dont see why they cant just tell the rest of the country to fucking stick it.

what the fuck are you talking about. First off, there are two parts of Ossetia - northern and southern. Northern Ossetia is a part of Russia now, and the present conflict has nothing to do with it.
Southern Ossetia is a part of Georgia and a different kettle of fish.
They declared independence but nobody has recognized this except for themselves (and now apparently Russia). Recently more than before they wanted either independence or to be joined to Russia. So Georgian forces were moved to the rebelling province to explain that they're dong a bad thing, you see. Russia grabbed the opportunity to fuck up Georgia whom they don't like and possible acquire a small extra bit of territory (that is the Southern Ossetia). So Georgia did not attack Russia, but it's own separatist region and Russia helped the rebels as they will always fight for freedom

I reckon Georgian leaders should know better and let the Southern Ossetia separate or do whatever they want rather than risk a conflict with Russia that was just waiting for an excuse. Perhaps they thought Russia wouldn't start a war when olympics start to avoid bad rap in the press in this special period. Guess they were wrong
