mac_truck: "Russia doesn’t ‘occupy’ Georgia, where did you get that idea?"

Russia briefly encroached on Georgian territory in 2008 to stop their government from conducting an ethnic cleansing campaign against dissident populations.

The Russians didn’t topple the Georgian government in 2008, they didn’t even enter the capital city of Tblisi, and they moved back to the border after securing the safety of the dissident ethnic civilian populations.

You may not like the fact that the Georgian military ran like scared rabbits from the advancing Russian troops, leaving behind hundreds of millions of dollars worth of shiny new tanks, weapons and gear, but the fact of the matter is that Russia didn’t ‘occupy’ Georgia then and more importantly doesn’t ‘occupy’ Georgia today in any conventional sense of the word and certainly not in any way comparable to Hitler’s Germany.
