This is breaking news at CNN.com. Russia attacks Georgia (the country). The President of Georgia gives his thoughts and comments about this event in an interview with a CNN corespondent.

The President's video speach can be found here:

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2008/08/08/intv.saakashvili.cnn

The story can also be found here:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/08/08/georgia.ossetia/index.html#cnnSTCOther1

Just copy and paste the links in your search bar.

I suggest watching the video first and then read the story.

The whole conflict started with Russia attacking civilians. If indeed Russia makes this an official war against Georgia, then for sure it would prove to be Georgia's demise.

What are your thoughts and comments?

Yes thats true Total. Since it is the Olympics, it is the perfect time to attack a small country. The tensions between Georgia and Russia have been up for a while.

I wouldn't say Russia is planning anything. They are just playing along. Georgia surrounded South Ossetia and the attack was a response from Russia. So it was nothing that was planned.

I got this from a Ossetian himself:

South Osettia is not a province of Geordia! There is one country Osettian, We do not wants to live in Georgia and in Russia. This is our land. We are not separatists! But if choose i want to be in Russia not in georgia. Coze it is agression. Georgian president declare war against osettia.
Russia do not invading it helps to protect civilians, They are saving our lifes.

So it's nothing big, just for some parts of land. The Russians thing it's theirs and Georgians think it's theirs.

I would like to hear someone who knows the whole history of it. I do not want to blame the wrong country here.

DRACE! You are a liar! You got that quote off of Yahoo Answers:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080808212311AAkkbMJ

It is so easy to tell when someone plagiarizes. You have just plagiarized a whole quote to back your position. You have no credibility in any way, shape, or form. Do not try to claim you got this quote directly. You stole it right off of Yahoo. You nothing but a liar and a cheat. You should be ashamed. You are a scam and should never post here ever again!

He isn't claiming he wrote anything, just that an Ossetian supposedly wrote that on Yahoo Answers.

Don't go so overboard with the accusations.

Are you considering Russians are terrorists?


No, not at all. I am saying they must have something planned as in getting more land and money. They attack Georgia now and the big countries are too busy dealing with other stuff. Also, we don't really care as much since it is small. Russia has just gotten land easier than usual. Now they are stronger so what will they do next? Get more land.

Jesus, the news is filled with talk about "The Olympics" and I'm trying to find some decent coverage of the Russia/Georgia conflict. Too morbid I suppose? *shrugs*

The US insists that Russia cease and desist because Georgia has an oil pipeline running through it? I suppose if the US did intervene in a 'war-like' manner, well... may God help us all then!

The UN Security are holding meetings and what not, but how effective would the UN be at this point?

I dunno much about this type of stuff, but if it comes to all-out war...Georgia will be crushed in a few days. Did you guys know that this happened like 2 hours after the Olympics started? So much for - 'Bringing the World together'.

Do not fear. If there is a war that would be waged in our lands, they would have to attack swiftly and suddenly. They would have to attack us will a HUGE force. Come on, its hard to not notice a huge force coming at us.
