No doubt, Russia armed the separatists.
I should probably know that, but South Ossetia hasn’t been on my radar as well as it should have been.
If that is the cause for elevated military activity on the party of the Georgians, then Russia really doesn’t have a leg to stand on here.
These border issues are very tough to referee. Both sides generally have some points that are reasoned.
My gut instinct is to think Russia was the real problem here. I don’t like to get too deep into it, because you have to defend against border claims that go back hundreds if not thousands of years if you do.
I hope the hostilities are over very shortly.
