Good call, hehe. I suspected Nou was behind this alt because it sounds exactly like "NO U", and I remember Cliff is interested on this kind of topic.
But I wasn't sure.

Reality is that if in 5 years all these heinous war crimes came to surface, with tons of grave sites littering the country side. Then everyone would be like "Wtf! Why didn't Russia step in and do something?" There's no way to know if that would really go down or not, but I'm glad no one in the Russian Parliament decided to wait to find out.
The other side of it is of course the oil. Which is sad that human lives have to be shed over it. Not only is that expensive as hell but now people have to die... there will be blood, after all.
Ok, so Russia is not going to do any ethnic cleansing...that is good to know. And about oil, nothing.

So there's no oil/pipelines in the region?

No, there is. But your reasoning for the conflict is wrong since Russia is not in there for oil. they are in because the US fooled them. It might seem far fetch for most of you to comprehend this. But the power elite in the US planned this conflict for awhile. All what Russia had to do was respond the way they are responding now and that was it. It proved the power elite in the US right and now the US can carry on with its agenda.

Georgia: Russia targets key oil pipeline with over 50 missiles
Russian jets targeted a key oil pipeline with over 50 missiles in a weekend bombing raid in Georgia that raised fears the conflict will tighten Moscow's stranglehold on Europe's energy supplies.
....
BP operates the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, which transports one per cent of the world's oil needs, or one million barrels a day from Azerbaijan to the Mediterranean. A spokesman played down the impact of the strike, pointing out that pumping was suspended last week because of a terrorist attack in Turkey.
That said I'm fairly neutral on this given Georgia did attack peacekeepers who were there under international sanctions. But Russia is making the most of it now and should really pull back. And they have been deliberately targeting civilians (including a BBC news crew).
