I already created an argument like this but anyway... I'm gonna say Russia was right, maybe not for the continued attack in Georgia but, for the area of south ossetia they had Russians and peace keepers who were attacked by the Georgian military.

The problem is that most of the western world especially America doesn't trust Russia, why because of its history. there were many evil nations such as Germany, italy, and japan ect..., but once they embraced capitalism they were forgiven. one of the agreements Russia made with America to start down the path of capitalism was that America doesn't spread its influences into older soviet states. America hasn't listened and now Russia is feeling surrounded by countries allied with America who don't trust it and even hate it. so you can imagine that they are worried and angry with America and the western world because of these broken promises and lies. if you look at history after Gorbachev you can see that Russia has not expanded and has not broken alliances it made with America. America on the other hand has. i know this seems off topic possibly and maybe even a rant but i wanted to get this out there.

the current Georgian president who was brought in with help from America has not been the nicest to his people. he has spent extraordinary amounts of money(for his countries size) on military when he should have been working to solve issues to let his citizens live decent lives. the majority of Georgian citizens are innocent, but the Georgian government isn't, they planned the attack, initiated it and now are asking for help because they realize they made a mistake.

i don't agree with all of russia's political moves in the last few years but i understand why they are doing many of them, but it can be difficult for people not very interested in russia to find any news that isn't bias against russia.

Worng and it shows that they wil lattack anyone who they feel is a threat to them or sides with us. They would rather get al the land they lsot back form the USSR colapsing in the 1990's. Most Russians fell that they got the bad end of a deal and will not let that be the way it is. They resent us and want payback. Gerogia was on our side so that had something to do with it I feel.

Side: Russia is back
