This may clear up some of the confusion. The war that Russia wants.

I honestly don’t know what to make of happenings in Georgia.

Vlad Putin,(former?) KGB Agent,has sent Soviet....sorry,Russian....tanks into a former satellite country that is now an ally of the West.

I can’t decide if it’s a REAL BIG THING or if it will turn into just a skirmish (not to say nothing, but nothing with a big impact). I’ve been trying to read what I can and I still don’t know.

I don’t either. This is way too complex to reduce down to a few column inches in a newspaper or on a web page.

If the Georgian army really did kill Russian peacekeeping troops, then you can *almost* understand them sending reinforcements into Ossetia. But if the Russians really did bomb an airbase outside of South Ossetia, near Tblisi as was reported this morning, that ratchets the conflict up another notch or three.

It sounds like the Russians were protecting the Ossetian rebels and got caught when the Georgians decided enough was enough. But at this point I’m not sure if we can trust any of the reporting coming out of there, including casualty figures—everybody has an agenda, and neither side has a solid track record of unbiased reporting.
