Georgia invaded by Russia

Russia invade Georgia, deaths on both sides, close to full out war, claims of "ethnic cleansing" as excuse for military action.

This is what happens when you have unsustainable borders. Expect to hear more from the Serbian enclaves in Kosovo as well.

Now, if they cross the border into South Carolina, then it gets serious.

Either they waited until Swayze was too ill to do anything about it, or that cancer of his is misdiagnosed polonium poisoning.

Re: Georgia invaded by Russia

Seems a bit of a strange turn of events.

But then with the world's attention on China, it's an excellent opportunity for Russia to do the dirty on Georgia.

I wonder if they'll risk a full scale invasion, or just try and annex land?

Seems Russia have now started bombing Georgia proper, not just targets in South Ossetia. That's an act of war by any standard...
