There have been many articles written and varied opinions expressed regarding Russia’s invasion of Georgia. One such is in Front Page Magazine; click to View Article
Although most of these articles have been to the point and truthful, they have missed the most important point of all. That is Russia controlled by Putin and other KGB personnel has been undermining Georgia and other former Soviet States when they began to brake away.
This onslaught on Georgia was the attempted culmination of a plan that started in 1992. Way back then KGB operatives sparked descent and discontent among the southern and northern areas of Georgia which became populated by ethnic Russians. With the help of self serving discontents with political aspirations they formed “resistance” movements in both areas. They agitated and supplied them with propaganda, methods, and arms. This Russia did while pretending to be “Peace Keepers” for the north and south of Georgia. In fact they were protectors of the separatist movements. The Georgian troops were under constant sniper fire right under the Russians. Not only the did Russian troops do nothing to stop the separatists armed aggression they fueled it until Georgian troops who suffered many dead and wounded and developed a hatred for the separatists, moved against them aggressively and without restraint.
That was what Putin and his colleagues worked towards for many years. They moved their superior military not to the cease fire lines but to the capitol of Georgia.
Thus we see the true motives and aspirations of Russia. Nothing has changed. Their goal is the same as it always was; conquest and control. They had to cut back on their old imperialistic desires because the United States forced them into bankruptcy. Now they have new sources of hard cash, oil. With oil revenues and not needing to compete with the west, which seemed to have gone asleep at the wheel, they now feel strong enough to start regaining control of their old satellites and why not. The Americans are just about singlehandedly fighting the Islamic Terror threat, Europe is back in the pacifist mode of pre-World War II, and the Arab states are making their own grab at world dominance.
This in the mind of Kremlin’s rulers makes an opportune time to flex their muscles. They are betting that no one will do much about their actions. They feel that worst case scenario is they will have devastated Georgia’s military and they (the Russians) will just go back to the pre-aggression lines. They may even be able to achieve (at lest partly) their goal of destroying the Georgian government and install a puppet government controlled by the Kremlin.
Yes folks, this was orchestrated, timed, and implemented by Putin and his cohorts. It was not an unforeseen or non-preventable occurrence. The west was asleep or just didn’t want to acknowledge the truth as in the 1930’s when Hitler was preparing to conquer the world.
