Actually, Russia had nothing to do with this choice. As reported, it appears that Georgia launched an offensive in South Osietta to try to take it back from the seperatist. Russia responded today by bombing the airbase in Tslit and rolling a column of tanks into South Osietta.

I have no doubt that the Russians are backing the seperatist, but they didn’t pick the specific day this went down, though I’m sure they were planning on this eventuality.

In 1996, the Olympics were in Georgia. Bizarre.

‘Interesting that Russia chose 8-8-08’

Why, what’s the significance of the date?
