War in South Ossetia

[Dimka_Richman]

What you think bout it? Sorry for my bad english but anyways imo saakashvili - 2nd hitler. He gonna destroy Ossetia, he gonna kill all of civilians. There is more them 90% of russians in Ossetia. And imo saakishvili did big mistake. He said that all of reservists should come to the servis and bcome soldiers. He said that they should do it for defence his country. Defence... He is killing innocents people and gonna DEFENCE his country...

Now, both sides are accusing each other of starting the attacks, so I really can't take a position in this case.

I would like to see more international peacekeepers teams there. In addition to Russians also Americans, British, German etc.

OK, as I read BBC News, then I think that Russia is invading Georgia and we are gonna have a dress rehearsal to a World War III.

I knew it, a World War III

As I wrote on another communities forums, on this exact subject:

I nearly shit myself.
I thought you meant that they landed in Georgia America

Phew, glad to know that they're not coming here.
I know, and oh so hope that we do not get involved....

My their god be with them.

Edit: And...

I hope they do not go to war, and I hope the Russians will leave, though I do not know why they invaded, nor do I know any history regarding Russia or Georgia, though I still do not wish that they go to war.

We've all seen what war is, and is still being done to us here on earth. I, and most likely 99% of the worlds population would probably not wish to have another war.

He told CNN: "Russia is fighting a war with us in our own territory."

Mr Saakashvili, who has called on reservists to sign up for duty, said: "This is a clear intrusion on another country's territory.

"We have Russian tanks on our territory, jets on our territory in broad daylight," Reuters new agency quoted him as saying.

Well for Georgians it is already a war, only a matter of interpretation

Dude..Its war already..Our (russian) president said thet noone cant just kill russian people. And this means war.

and I hope the Russians will leave

Dude, Ossetia = more then 90 % russians.

News said that there is more then 1,4k dead civils. That means more then 5k...

Someone mind telling me what this is? without quoting wikipedia?
A quick summarizing would be nice

In 1991 Soviet Union collapsed. So Georgia got it's independence. All countries acknowledged it's border, so that also South-Ossetia belongs to Georgia.

South-Ossetia has been itself also independent a long time ago and after the Soviet Union collapsed they are independent de facto.

So South-Ossetia now want's to  get free de jure(to be it's own country) so practically it's like a civil war.

Russia is on South-Ossetia side, because a lot of people with Russian citizenship live there. 

 :ps:

Dude, Ossetia = more then 90 % russians.

Before the Georgian-Ossetian conflict roughly two-thirds of the population of South Ossetia was Ossetian and 25-30% was Georgian.

So, let's make quick calculations. Population can be maximum 100% two-thirds are Ossetians, so that is 66,(6)% and let's say 27% are Georgians, so 100%-(~67%)-27%= 6% other. So there can be maximum 6% of Russians in South Ossetia. or do Russia mean that Ossetians are also Russian? ok then it is 100%-27%(which are Georgians)= 73% of Russians, so still not 90% of Russians.

Oh, okey, thanks.
Hehe, I tough it'd be much bigger cause "someone" was talking about a third world war...

Abraham, you know the saying "History repeats itself". Well, atm this is like before WW 2 there was Spanish civil war ( now Georgias civil war), where on either side, countries tested their military equipment. Also at the moment world economy is going down, just like before WW 2 there was economy crisis. So I would say yeah, I think World War III is not far away, but I may( I also hope so) be wrong.

Difference, Spain is not Georgia.
Georgia has what? 4 million inhabitants? that's like 30 million less people then spain.
And yes, it makes a difference.

Well we will see, as I say, that mere name and population doesn't make so much difference, than the situational similarity.

[Abraham]

I say the opposite, the fact that I didn't even know this place existed until now is just proof that another world war wont happen... and I mean, a place where only 4 million people lives can't be worth fighting for.

But we will see, if there's another world war you win, if not, I win? :P

Most of the time i have lack on this stuff.
But when i heared this, my heart started beating fast....

I'm not saying that this war will be World War III I say this will be a rehearsal for a world war III.
