“I believe they are asking him in as did Syria...”
No, Putin and Russia invaded, occupied, annexed, and conquered the sovereign territories of Georgia in violations of international law for which the German NAZI leadership were convicted and hung for crimes against peace at the Nuremberg Military Tribunal. The international community recognizes South Ossetia and Abkhazia to be the sovereign territories of Georgia under illegal Russian occupation.
They were trying to secede from Georgia and they asked him in, do some searching about this and stop banging your war drum...
Do you really think we’re stupid?? Save the self-righteous indignation, and stick to the FACTS, K?
Just 20 seconds of Googling will tell you that the Georgia-Ossetia conflict is unresolved issues left over from the breakup of the Soviet Union.
It was called the Georgia-South Ossetia war in 1991-1992.
When Mikheil Saakashvili (Same guy that is now the Governor of Odessa in Ukraine, Weird, weird, weird) took power in Georgia, he vowed to bring the breakaway regions of Georgia that didn’t recognize the government under control.
He succeeded in bringing one back, but when he went after Ossetia they screwed up and disarmed a bunch of Russian soldiers.
