You shouldn’t put up your own speculations as the truth. What if this.. What if that.. Happened is what happened in real..
But in real it was the Georgian regime which decided to quell Osetian resistance by the military force. To do that your army must pass the Russian peacekeepers. So you attacked Russian peacekeeprs means you attacked Russian army batallion. That is the clearest “casus belli”.
If you attack the one country military then you subsequantly declare the war on this country. The consequances fell on your country.===

I am not passing what ifs for truth! Dude, do you even know what casus belli is?

Russian peacekeepers were attacked by South Ossetians together with ESCE mission on or about August 1, but I do not remember Russia sending troops to stop that! Make your mind - in earlier posts you were saying that Georgia attacked peaceful Russian citizens, now you are saying that they attacked peacekeepers... explain to me, how the hell one could have attacked Russian battalion if it's location was way outside of where Georgian troops were attacking illegal convoy and those gangs? Are you sure your own artillery did not shell them just to justify invasion just like Russians did in Chechnya... And don't even tell me that this is something Russian army would never do! And explain to me that even if what you are saying it true, how does that justifies moving troops across Inguri river and bombing civilian installations in Gori, Poti, Tbilisi, Marneuli and Khelvachauri?

I made up my mind from start. Georgian military attacked Russian peacekeepers AND S.Osetian civilians which those peacekeepers must defend. It is casus belli.

Nothing to explain. The first georgian shells lay exactly on the peacekeeper base accually on the barrack buildings. Georgians killed few peacekeepers at this moment since they has no order to return fire.

And explain to me that even if what you are saying it true, how does that justifies moving troops across Inguri river and bombing civilian installations in Gori, Poti, Tbilisi, Marneuli and Khelvachauri?==

You mean the georgian soldiers who stationed in those towns? I know that some georgian civilians got under fire. I regret that. They were in wrong place. Say in Gori: those apartment buildings damaged was near Gori military base so got some heat during airraid on the military base.

Moving troops crossed Inguri in chase of the flee georgian troops and gathered trophies. It is OK with me. We must unarm Georgia to precausion the repating this situation.
