"In the first hours of Aug 8th a mass incursion of Georgian troops and armor to a South-Ossetian-controlled territory and repeated shelling of Tskhinvali began. AFP, quoting a spokesman of the Georgian Interior Ministry, stated that three Russian aircraft intruded into Georgian airspace attacking some targets in the Tskhinvali region. On the same day 12 Russian peacekeepers had been killed and nearly 150 were injured. The Russian Prime-Minister Putin said that the Russian Government "condemns the aggressive actions by Georgian troops in South Ossetia" and that Russia would be compelled to retaliate. Heavy fighting was reported in Tskhinvali for most of August 8th, with Georgian forces slowly attempting to push Ossetians from the city. Meanwhile, Russian tanks rolled across the border to aid South Ossetia, and are reported to patrol throughout Tskhinvali."
Good thing you made this thread here, anyways...It seems as though cease fires dont work right away as most would wish, same thing happened between Gaza Strip and Palestine last year when the cease fire was announced by Israel.
What exactly is this war for? Are Russia just waving their military penis around or is it something to do with the pipelines running through Georgia to Europe (I know that Europe isn't doing anything because if Russia turns the tap off we're screwed).
I know theres something to do with separatist groups, does Russia still act like they own them in a kind of throw back to the Soviet era?
all i have to say on this subject is why does america always have to get into other countries business the wart over there isnt any of our problem its just those two countrys problem and i hate it when news reporters say "oh this might brake our relations with russia". if we dont want to break relations and all the years we worked to mantain peace just let russia do its thing and focus on something else that we should be focused on.

@Dream Machine: Well I've only been alive for 20 years I meant lately.
America likes to stick its nose where it doesn't belong and look like the good guys, but in reality we only make situations worse. I swear if we send troops or something to Russia/Georgia I'm moving to Canada

yeah dude if that happens im right there behind you because if america actually starts hurting its relations with russia we're headed for WW3 i swear andi guess america just like to show the world that they are the shet because theres no reason we should be doing any of this. but still nothing big has happened yet but who knows.

Wait a minute, what is America doing this time around? I thought they were only strongly urging Georgia to pull out and Russia to quit fighting back... Did I miss something in the last few days?

well from what i heard is that america is urging russia to stop and draw a cease fire or else they might have to help out georgia fight back.

Yeah exactly. I mean Russia has nukes and shit and so do we, that's not a good mixture at all unless youre Satan or God being bored.
Anyways, the way I see it is let Georgia go to the west if they want, big fucking deal. That's a ridiculous reason to fight because of independence. But hopefully this isn't going to turn into a years long war.

Yeah it's not, the Iraq war we're in isn't any of our business either. Hopefully this cease fire will go through between Russia and Georgia.
yep i hope so and i wish we could just pull out of iraq now because i have a few of my friends and family down there serving for a war over oil i hope they dont get dragged into another war.

I think a lot of countries are urging them to stop fighting as well; it's not just America, so why not tell them to stfu and mind their own business while we're at it? Until the states intervene like we most always do, it's kinda unfair to start bashing on us so quickly. I guess I'm just tired of living in a country where everyone thinks we'll invade and take over despite having permission or not; even our own people.
Well how many other states/countries have have ties with Russia like we do?
And I'm not saying we'll invade but I mean come on, America is corrupt whether you believe it or not.
But anyways...this is about Russia-Georgia. Was killing 12 peace keepers really necessary? They're called peace keepers for a reason.
amen to that my friend

Oh, I'm not saying we're not corrupt--there's no doubt about it. I just think sometimes it's blown out of proportion, believe it or not. We are not the only government out there that has problems, which is something that is overlooked way too many times than it should be. Sure, we've got a bad wrap, but it's just getting exhausting now.
Anyway, I agree that this war is ridiculous. Our war is ridiculous. All war is ridiculous unless we're working together as a HUMAN RACE to fight off some violent alien invader or something. We can only sit back and wait and see if these people have enough decency to come to a peaceful agreement.

Sorry for getting off topic, but that will never happen. There's too many differences with religion, culture, government...Theres no way people will set those aside to make peace.
Whether people want to believe it or not, there will never be world peace, or any kind ever. Places are just too corrupt and power craving.
true there will never ever ever ever ever ever be world peace what so ever o matter how hard we try i mean we killed jesus for god sakes how much chance world peace did we mess up by that for real.
