This was the time Georgia got burned. Period.
you can put periods wherever you want there buddy but the truth is there is no truth. nobody knows how this started or who started it. some say it was separatist who attacked the georgian checkpoints in tskinvali and georgians called for militia for defence. some say georgian militia started bombing tskinvali streets out of nowhere. you can believe whatever you want and make judgments, it doesn't bother me
what was fishy about it was that russian artillery with hundreds of tanks and aircrafts were minutes away from the conflict zone. it seemed as fight wasn't even broken out when they were already there. it seems as... eknow what i don't really feel like going back and forth with this
ps i dont hate russians, i know and have russian friends, i just hate the government and how things are run over there, i understand i might of said some things back then out of the frustration, ffs my family was in the war zone, minutes away from the fight, i was kind of riled up

Well this could be attributed to a lot of things but speculating does nothing.

Taking from the accounts that were NOT from the Russian nor the Georgian media, there are MANY eye witnesses that had their own apartments bombed, etc, for no reason. There was no one gathering, no conflict, etc, but people in S. Ossetia getting bombed. I will try to find the report and link it to you.

I understand being frustrated, but just like the Israeli's and Palestinians, that results in nothing but more problems.
