the usa until now didnt made any ultimate, or strong statement, or even talked about troops deployment in south ossetia. i think bush wants to resolve that one by diplomacy.
well lets see, i think until sunday the situation could be resolved... or not.

Well Georgia is an ally of the west, wants to join NATO and the EU.
The Soviets...I mean Russians...have attacked Georgian terrority outside the warzone.
The Russians are certainly given the finger to the West and the West can do nothing.
The Russians are playing for keeps so it is interesting what the Americans do.

for the russians: they entered in south ossetia to protect their fellows ossetians and their economic interests since they are the main investitor in the region. and also support the south ossetians in their statement to be independent of georgia.
for the georgians this is an invasion of georgian territory, and their attack on south ossetinans are internal affairs, not russian problem. also, georgia thinks russia wants take control of the south ossetia.

Oil. Oil. Oil.
If the Russians can keep the world oil prospects at high risk, they believe they can prosper by driving up their local commodity prices. However, this will ultimately backfire if Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela don't back off. The West's lifeblood is oil. And like a strangled animal, if you inhibit the ability for the animal to breathe, you are subject to the animal lashing out at you.
Lord forbid.
They didnt fight each other. Russia protected Georgia from Persian and Ottoman empires in 18th and 19th centuries.
In WWII 700000 Georgians fought as Red Army soldiers against Nazi Germany. About 350000 died in the battlefields of the Eastern Front.
There is no oil in Georgia.
Georgia is the second poorest country in the world after Afganistan.

yes, thats true, but Gazprom(state russian company) is building a gas tunnel from russia to supply the region with natural gas. they are spending 640 milion USD on that.
around 2/3 of south ossetias budget, came from russia. almost every local ossetian have russian passport and they also use the ruble as local currency insteal the georgian currency.
also 70% of south ossetians are from diferent ethnicity than georgians. also the language is diferent.

the news coverage is quite good, both Russian, Ossetian and Georgian points of view are present, and Russians for the very most part support actions taken by the goverment.
