Then why can we assume that Russia attacked Georgia because of Kosovo?

You are free to assume whatever you want. Russia responded to the Georgian attack on their peacekeepers and citizens.

Kosovo set a precedent that has provided encouragement to independence movements around the world. It also has provided encouragement for governments that want to be their benefactors.

But you are only assuming what favors your argument. You started with your conclusion (Russia was entitled to do what it did because of Kosovo), and worked your way backward.

When I asked you whether Russia would have done what it did in the absence of Kosovo (and historical evidence clearly allows that assumption), you dug in your heels and started blathering something about "something you will never know."

Incidentally, that, and toeing the Kremlin line about who attacked whom makes it pretty clear that you don't give a damn about what happened in Kosovo, either. You are just trying to excuse the Russians' behavior.
