“Georgians attacked Russian peacekeepers who ARE actually the part of her military.”

You are so consumed by Russian propaganda you can’t think straight. Russian-backed South Ossetian separatist forces started shelling Georgian villages; Georgian troops — which were part of a peacekeeping force that included Russians — responded to those attacks, which only intensified effectively breaking a peace agreement from 1992 between the separatists and Georgia. Georgian troops responded more forcefully and took control of much of the territory claimed by the separatists. Some Russian forces then joined the fray in Georgia in support of the separatists. Pretty similar to what Russia did in Ukraine in 2014 and 2022, eh?

“Just imagine someone attack US military base abroad for any reasons then what US will do?”

What Russian military bases were attacked PRIOR to Russia becoming the aggressor? None.

As for a US response to an attack, we’d probably do nothing, as our embassies and consulates and even some military facilities have been attacked by various parties over the last forty years, and we did squat. We could have used such attacks as pretexts to invade and annex some other country, as Russia routinely does; but, we didn’t.

“Defense of her people in Ukraine and returning her land stolen by soviet commies which Ukies held.”

Land that Russia recognized as Ukrainian in the early 1990s. So, nice try, Ivan.

“Thwarting an imminent attack on Donbass and liberation of Novorossiya.”

That’s a crock of @#$% and you know it. Donbas was and still is part of Ukraine, as was and still is “Novorossiya,” which is just eastern Ukraine. No one recognizes Russia’s illegal and undefined annexations of Crimea and eastern Ukraine, except for a handful of diehard communist “states” (and yet, the biggest communist state of all — China — does not recognize the annexations).

Give it up, Ivan.

It is just a georgian lie.

“...MOSCOW, August 8 (Reuters) - More than 10 Russian peacekeepers have been killed during fighting in Tskhinvali, the capital of Georgia’s breakaway region of South Ossetia, news agencies quoted a top Russian military commander as saying on Friday.

“As a result of Georgian shelling more than 10 of our peacekeepers were killed and nearly 30 were wounded,” deputy commander of ground forces Igor Konashenkov said. (Writing by Oleg Shchedrov) https://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSL8187260 ...”

Peacekeepers are a members of military so attack on them is a casus belli.

C’mon man. You sound like Russia seek anybody recognition. For her it is enough if her people recognize it.
