South Ossetia is Georgian territory that broke free (without any international recognition) from Georgia back in 1990. It's not Russian territory. They have big majority of Russians in that area but UN explicitly recognises it as Georgian territory.

It's the same with the other territory.

I don't condone the bombing of innocent civilians but at the same time I don't trust the Russian media which hasn't changed one bit since Soviet era. That 2000 figure could have been as little as 200.

No one likes separatists. But what Georgia was trying to do was to reclaim its old lost territories, not take some more off Russia. The title of the thread itself is misleading.

No one in their right mind will try to bomb Russia. It's like Bangladesh trying to bomb India to reclaim West Bengal without any retaliation.

AFAIK, Ukraine doesn't have a separatist issues like Georgia and much of the hostility with Moscow is due to their attempt to get into NATO. Again, either you are Moscow's good friend or you are the enemy.
