So, after all the discussion, let me see if I have this straight.

Georgia attacked South Ossetia, knowing Russia had openly pledged support for this entity.

Russia asked the UN Security Council to intervene and as usual, the UN couldn’t agree to form a committee to write a request to think about forming a committe to consider talking about…., Oh well, you get the idea.

Russia moved in forces to support South Ossetia.

Georgia shot down Russian planes.

Russia counter-attacked.

So, how is Russia the aggressor in this whole thing?
