Georgia told them they wanted them out. Russia told them that they wanted to negotiate. In short, Russia told them “Make us leave”.

Russia is just spinning this because their claims of genocide have been completely busted. Especially since more Georgians were killed by Russian s than vice versa.

An unstable and power mad little dictator wannabe named Shakashvili - who shut down FOX owned TV station before the war - thought his military gamble may pay off because he felt Russia was not able to make good on its military abilities. Maybe someone told the Georgians to try out the Russians - if the RUssians did nothing it would have pretty much exposed Russia as a toothless regional tiger and weakened Putin. In any case Georgia fired the first shots fired in an attempt at a blitz that killed Russian peace keepers who were there by treaty consent. In the words of the immortal ROscoe P. Coultraine from the Dukes of Hazzard this gave the Russians the go ahead to attack in hot pursuit.

I Russia's (bogus) claim at genocide was to tweak against the USA for its equally proven false claim of genocide in Kosovo as justification for NATOs first offensive war. I mean who is to say Russi ais wrong in saying it prevented a genocide when no evidence came out for one just like NATO claimed it did in Kosovo?
