Russia have planned this for some time now..plus this is nothing new if you look up the region. Russia have been arming the break away rebels for some time for the rebels to attack georgian targets. Russia wanted this to happen so they can move into georgia and bring the downfall of the georgian nation and put in a puppet leader that only listens to the kremiln.. Russia wants its former lands back (which they stole) in order to keep them away from the west.. The cold war never really ended and russia hold more cards today than ever.. The west need russia for its gas and its ability to hold talks with iran, china and north korea. The evil empire is upto its old tricks again... And its a deadly game with many poor people being the pawns in the game.
