Creating nations based primarily on ethnicity is a recipe for disaster.
Merging with Georgia seems to me to be a wiser policy then merging back with Russia.
Expecting that Russia will somehow support an independent Abkhazia is a pipe dream.
The Abkhazians should have worked with the Georgians to create an autonomous region with strong ties to the Georgian government.
The Abkhazians got greedy and are reaping the whirlwind.

I do not see how his family, which is at least 100 miles from the war zone, is getting it's unbiased info. I suspect that they get their news from the Russian media, which is far from unbiased. I wish his family peace and security but doubt they know anymore then their Russian rulers allow. It will be a long while before we truthfully know exactly what happened.

I agree. Standing up to the oppression of communism is one thing, getting involved in these ethnic squabbles leads to many problems.
It’s too hard to pick out a good guy.

Why am I writing this? I do not know what else I can do. I must speak the truth.”
When I first processed and digested what happened there, my instincts told me that Georgia was the initial aggressor, but then Russia became embroiled in response to that. It is the conflict withing the conflict.
But as another Freeper mentioned yesterday, Georgia can not win a conventional war with Russia, and should avoid being drawn into a military conflict with them, for its own sake and survival.

Of course you are correct that Georgia's aggression against South Ossetia ignited this whole issue, anyone who cannot see this must have blinkered vision. The 95%+ Russian population in south Ossetia were under threat from Saakashvili and his troops.
Conversely, this was the perfect excuse for Putin to get his troops into Georgia, along with his drilling in the Arctic, it's linked to his plan to dictate energy supply throughout Europe.

If Russia did not step in, Georgians would further the attack and take over Abkhazia; my family would be slaughtered by now.And the author is certain that his family would have been slaughtered, how?

And the author is certain that his family would have been slaughtered, how? Well, he posted his email address - why don't you ask him?
And then come back and share the answer with us.

Georgia attacked South Ossetia, destroying its capital Tskhinvali, killing innocent people; Russia came in to protect the Ossetians. And we know this how? I seem to recall that when the Germans started WWII, they dressed up some concentration camp inmates as Polish soldiers, shot them, then claimed that Polish soldiers had attacked Germans. Don't think for a minute that Putin wouldn't copy this deceit from the Nazi playbook.
To: Dawnsblood
I heard Levin discuss this. This dude Saakashvili had first taken russians hostage during some conflict where they had first laid down their arms in front of the Georgians and then paraded them on State TV.
I had also heard about the bombing of the capital the writer discusses.
The writer is correct that only biased news is being discussed wrt this issue.
Saakashvili has to go.

I am myself Russian, and I grew up in Abkhazia (the other break-away region of Georgia). I currently live in the United States.

All is not as it seems. Very true. The author neglected to mention he is Russian.
As Orwell once said, omission is the most powerful form of lie.

"The 95%+ Russian population" What about the 100% Human population of South Ossetia that over time would have done better as citizens of a free Georgia rather than as serfs under a rejuvenated Russian Czardom?
To: XR7
Well his conspiracy theories would sure fit in over there.
