Some of you may be confused on what happened in Georgia and why this war started in the first place. The reason you don't know the facts, is that the media is trying to keep us all in the dark.
After hours upon hours of research from media and internet outlets throughout the world, I am convinced that I know what exactly happened.
It all started on Aug 8th, 2008 when the whole world's attention was focused on the start of the Beijing Olympics.
While both sides claim that the other side fired first, the fact remains that Georgia (not Russia) started the hostilities in Tskhinvali (the capital of the autonomous region of Georgia known as South Ossetia). During the morning hours of August 8th, bombardment of the capital was started by Georgian forces.
Why did Georgia start bombing it's own city? Well, about 90% of the people in the "independent" region of South Ossetia hold Russian passports. On August 10th, the key officials in South Ossetia were going to meet with the Georgian government to discuss their succession.
For some reason, Georgia ended these talks and started bombing the capital of South Ossetia. This video below shows a 12 year old American citizen trying to explain that it's was Georgia bombing and not Russia.
After the heavy bombardment of Tskhinvali (where a large part of the city was destroyed), Russian sent in two armored battalions to protect their citizens and peacekeepers in South Ossetia.
They did not "invade" Georgia as the US media is trying to proclaim, but were merely trying to protect their citizens. Russia also claims that Georgia has committed genocide on the people of South Ossetia.

Russian's forces took control of the city within a couple of hours of their arrival. At this point, Georgia started bombarding the city once again. In response, Russia started bombing key Georgian military bases and points to minimize the bombardment.
A Flordia resident was in the area when the bombarding started, and this is what he had to say;
The most dis concerning fact about this entire war, is the way the US media is portrayed the war. The stated that Russia invaded a sovereign nation. When in fact it was Georgia that invaded the autonomous region of South Ossetia. While the autonomy of this region has not be ratified by the UN (the USA for some reason vetos the legitimacy of the referendum), about 99% of the people of South Ossetia showed up to vote for their independence. The outcome was that 95% of the people wanted their independence. The vote was even observed by 34 international teams, but for some reason was not approved by the UN.

In fact the ONLY people that state the Russia was the aggressor is Georgia. No other third party has stated the Russians started the war. Dozens of US citizens in the area all profess that Georgia escalated the situation, and Russia was merely fulfilling the role of "peace keepers".
There are dozens of videos on YouTube, that show journalists being fired upon by Georgian forces. Funny enough, the news programs try to make light of the situation and state that the Georgian forces where just "disgrunted".
