I'm surprised no-one mentioned the two oil and gas pipelines that run across Georgia that help supply the west.
Because Russia doesn't need these small Georgian pipelines. Russia has in million times more oil and gas.
And because it was started from the genocide by Sakashvili.
7th august Sakashvili turned off in Georgia all internet, all mobile connection, all Russian TV channels. 8th august, night, Sakashvili started the attack on South Ossetia. Also how you know he tryed to attack Abkhazia on 12th august, but Russian warships destroyed this plan and destoyed 2 Georgian warships.
