The reason Russia went after Georgia is because the Georgians prefer us and want to lean west.

The reason many Russians would not go to Georgia and fight and they had to send chechens is because Russia and Georgia have long been considered Orthodox Christian brothers.

You are absolutely right on Georgian pro-Western lean as a political reason why Russians were eager to jump on Georgia, but you have to admit Georgian leadership did all they could to make excuse for them in doing that.
Chechen units were sent just because they were close to conflict zone, all this Muzzie-Christian allegations has nothing to do with reality.

In the past Georgians used Chechens against Russian “Orthodox brothers” as well.

Don’t get it wrong, Georgia is a nice place full of nice pro-American people, but their government is very different.
