Russia-Georgia Conflict




Did you know Israel was selling weapons to Georgia?

Did you know Israel controlled two air bases in Georgia with plans to use them to launch air strikes into Iran (shorter flight time; no need to get permission to fly over Iraq)

Did you know that spy drones were sent by Israel from Georgia to spy over Russian as well as Iranian air space.

Did you know there was a 1994 UN resolution calling for Russian peacekeepers to be in those two separatist territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia; which Russia now recognizes as separate states.

You do know, of course, that Georgia began the aggression when invading these two separatist territories

This is just the intro, the beginning of the Ins&Outs of the Russian-Georgia conflict, a conflict centering around the BTC oil and gas 1,000 mile pipeline from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean, as well as Russian fears of encirclement by the USA, Israel, NATO, the European Union and other Western Powers.

Not to mention Russia's great concern and immediate focus on the plans for a U.S. missile base in Poland, on the Russian border.
