I don’t get it, it’s obvious South Ossetia doesn’t want to be part of Georgia. Even during the Soviet Union it was autonomous from the Georgian Soviet and declared it’s independence from Georgia the second the USSR fell apart.

Georgia should just let them go.

The problem is, Russia did everything they could to separate South Ossetia from Russsia. They gave the people of South Ossetia passports and government benefits and waged an all out propaganda war against Georgia. Many of the people of Ossetia dream of an independent state that includes Northern Ossetia. Russia will never let that happen. They were sold a bill of goods and the Russians will never leave voluntarily.
