Russia gave Ossetians Russian passports, and I personally do not think this was the best idea in the world.
But I can tell you what Russia did not do:
1. Did not install pro-Russian gov. (In contrast to US in Georgia during “Rose revolution”)
2. Did not include Ossetian president of Kremlin pay roll (Saakashvili is on US Dep payroll)
3. Did not kill political opponents (Georgian premier Jvania was murdered by Saakashvili)
4. Did not supply Ossetia with heave weapons (US supplied Georgia with tons of modern weapons starting from M-16 to helicopters)
5. Did not send military advisors to train Ossetian militia (US send ~ 200 military instructors to Georgia)
In contrast to the U.S. during "rose Revolution"? You mean George Soros' operation in Georgia? He was selling out both Georgia and So Ossetia under the Chimera of his "Open Society" operation.
I hardly count George Soros an American as much as he is a communist sympathizer and makes big bucks being one, activizing as one. He's a "greedy, capitalist pig" arm of Communists worldwide. But then, how lefty of me to use a leftist "coinage in verbiage", no?
Aha! You are twisting the cube. So. Ossetia is "not a part" of Georgia because it wishes to be a part of Russia. But now, when Georgia Government helps the US in Iraq/Afghanistan, So. Ossetia is considered NOW, for argumentation purposes "Georgia"?
Fish or cut bait, please.
Be specific. Military instructors were sent to So. Ossetia and/or to Georgia? Which is it?
You have a gift for understatement.
What do you suppose was the intent and effect of giving Russian passports to Ossetians, in the midst of sovereign Georgia?
What does it tell Georgia about its sovereignty within its own borders?
1. Did not install pro-Russian gov. (In contrast to US in Georgia during “Rose revolution”)
Russia did not need to install anything. The Ossetians are quite pro-Russia anyway.
Do you have any proof that the US "installed" the government of Georgia? Is there any possibility, in your mind, that the Georgian government is a pro-Western democracy because that's what the Georgian people chose?
2. Did not include Ossetian president of Kremlin pay roll (Saakashvili is on US Dep payroll)
Do you have any proof for this claim? ...other than your imagination?
3. Did not kill political opponents (Georgian premier Jvania was murdered by Saakashvili)
LOLOLOLOL! *gasp* LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Wow, now that's either really funny or reeeeeeaaaaally naive of you!
4. Did not supply Ossetia with heave weapons (US supplied Georgia with tons of modern weapons starting from M-16 to helicopters)
"heave weapons"? I'm not familiar with that term.
Russia doesn't need to sell any weapons to Ossetia, because they just do the fighting for them anyway. When Russia invades the whole country of Georgia, who cares if the Ossetians have weapons?
You don't have to sell weapons to a country you occupy and fight for.
