One way or another it confirms once again that current Georgian president is a mentally sick person.
They shot down a Backfire bomber?
When it was taking off or landing with a shoulder fired weapon?

Ramirezzz, what is the situation with the Ukraine? They too are in a similar situation with not quite being a NATO member. If Ukraine is accused of providing arms to Georgia, will Russia react negatively? Will this escalate?
i suspect his plan was to make sure europe and us would help him. i believe he knew that russia would retaliate if he attacks a region full of russian citzens, so hes strategy was make sure the western powers would take party in his side of content.
With Georgia almost having been admitted into NATO and the agreements to provide defense for NATO protectorates, what is the European reaction about Georgia. NATO would be in the thick of it right now if the decision were differently. Russia vs NATO? Oh man what a mess that would be.
well the russian officials already warned the Ukraine from any further military or political support of Georgia and I'm quite sure the Ukraine will not go that far - I mean it will not provide the Georgia with arms while this country is de-facto in the war with Russia. The relationship between the Ukraine und Russia is cold enough , and neither side wants to make the things even worser.
Thanks for the information guys. I have heard very little about the subject. The only thing I can add is that prior to the start of hostilities, Russia was talking about moving equipment into Cuba if the US did not stop trying to put a missle defense system into eastern Europe. Was Russia warning the US to stay out of this war? Is the cold war is returning or will this just fade from the front pages?

but i think this is quite funny, because what i understood in fact, georgia attacked first south ossetia.
