Ossetia | Why Russia invaded

I live in Eastern Europe and might have a better view point than simply watching TV as I know people from the region in question, from both sides. Georgian people are saying Ossetia is a peaceful region with no fighting. Most people are enjoying their summer vacations and relaxing. However, Russia has made claims that they are coming to the help of the Ossetia people, and the Russians have moved their army and tanks in to ‘protect’ these people from the waring Georgians. I think the former story sounds more likely than the Russian version.

Why Russia invaded Georgia

Here is why –
1)Georgia is connecting to Europe as it wants to join NATO. Russia is having trouble with Ukraine and certainly does not want another neighbor falling from their empire. So they are going to teach their neighbors a lesson. If you try to cooperate with anyone but Moscow you will pay. Now many NATO countries after this invasion are thinking twice before allowing Georgia to join NATO, as an attack on NATO would mean a world war.
2)With a route from the middle east to the black sea via Georgia – black sea – Ukraine- Europe, Europe does not need a Russian pipeline for oil.

Its very simple. These two reason are why Russia attacked Georgia. Russia does not care about human rights. They do not even care about their own citizens. On one hand, I have never meet a Russian person I did not like. But on the other, the government of Russia is nothing but a Czardom ruled by Czar Putin.
