Russia is not supporting ethnic Russians in Georgia. They extended Russian citizenship to non-Russian ethnic separatists. The Butcher of Beslan, Shamil Basayev and his Chechen jihadists helped Russia exterminate thousands of Christian Georgians in Abkhazia and ethnically cleansed the territory of hundreds of thousands more. Then Russia was surprised when the animal they created turned on them. Russia acts against its own interest in Georgia, and in the interests of the mohammedan terrorists. Even the Turks support the Abkhaz.
Sorry, the Russians support these guys against their own interests and we support jihadists and butchers like Agim Ceku, responsible for killing Serb Christians in Krajina.
If the US is mad at Russia for Georgia, it still sounds like the pot calling the kettle black. After all, we bombed the snot out of Vojvodina, full of ethnic Slovaks, Ukrainians, Hungarians, Ruthenians, etc.
