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?

I think it's important that South Ossetians decide what leadership and culture they want to live under, and as they're essentially broken away from Georgia, one must assume that they don't want to be part of Georgia.
It's not for the west to decide if they will be better off long term with Russia or not.

Living in the EU is far from free by the way, our culture has been massacred by the EU, our populous is indebted to foreign banks, our entire reliance on future energy supplies is dictated by the very Czardom you speak of.

S. Ossetia is said to be a patch work of ethnic Georgians and Ossetians. Does the Georgian population have a right to remain part of Georgia or does it only work the other way around? Abkahzia cleansed their territory of ethnic Georgians in the 90s but only were able to finish the job now by destroying the last few Georgian towns in the region.
