Russia vs. Georgia

Over the past several days, Russia and Georgia have steadily marched into battle over a breakaway region of Georgia, South Ossetia.  

South Ossetia is an unrecognized country, whose citizens hold mostly Russian citizenship, but whose territory operates as an autonomous region of Georgia.  

Just a few days ago, the Georgians took the capital, so the Russians evacuated most of their citizens and sent in the tanks.  Russia, of course, has a lot of military in that area from the Chechen conflict.  This will not be much of a war.  Just ask the Chechens, whose country lies in ruin.  

The thought is that Georgia planned this attack to coincide with the opening of the Olympics, when it would have a chance to make a move while most of the world is distracted.  They probably aren't familiar with the internet...
