It was an obvious provocation by Georgia hours earlier Georgian and Russian negotiators agreed on a cease fire then Georgian military start indescriminately bombing the region. Russia representing S Ossetia agreed to protect S Ossetia in case Georgia broke the ceasefire and assulted S Ossetia.
Britain and France declared war on Germany after security agreements with Poland and Britian went to war or Argentina over the Falkan islands.

Don’t think this has anything to do with the Caspain oil pipelines Washington wants and justification for the missle defence shield?

The problem with S Ossetia is that it’s not financed and supported by western intelligence and doesn’t have links to international organised crime and Islamic terrorism and wars started against an ethnic cleansing campaign against its ethnic populations Serbs and ethnic Russians in Kosovo and Chechnya.

They also don’t have fake “genocide” stories that they propagate to defend there cause like an overlay inflated death count, bogus stories of massacres, fake mass rape stories and supposed racism as the underline cause not any legitimate security reasons.

Another thing they don’t have is Washington lobbyists, PR companies, think tanks and media on there side and counter to Washington’s geopolitical strategy.
