The latest episode began with the artillery shelling of Georgian villages by South Ossettian separatists. Georgian troops entered South Ossetia to deal with the attacks. Russia used that as a pretext for an invasion of South Ossetia. They just happened to have soliders, tanks, and ships already in position before the shelling started so they could respond very quickly to the Georgian incursion.
Again, it's popular to be anti-American and anti-war these days, but don't let either of those two conditions keep you from seeing the truth.

It's Chechnya. Actually, I'm going to support the original poster on this, despite the fact that I almost never agree with anything Fiannan says.
Do you remember when North Korea was part of the Axis of Evil? Do you remember when Putin said, 'If you invade North Korea, we will go to war with you'? Have you heard anything since then on this part of the 'axis of evil'?
Georgia is an American ally. The unknown black ops soldiers will be American. I know it, you know it, the Russians know it. However, they weren't carrying ID and they will never be identified.
Russia will defeat Georgia, the US will not intervene, and Russia will crush all opposition under its boot because it wants to show that only it can protect the former soviet states. Specifically, this is a message for Ukraine that it has no allies.
No, I don't like it, but Russia has the upper hand on this.
