Thread Name: BS: War in Georgia (2008)
Subject: RE: BS: War in Georgia
This may sound like a repeat but here goes: North Ossetia, South Ossetia and Abhkazia are internationally recognised as regions within the sovereign country of Georgia. These areas were part of the old Soviet Union and the boundries were freely negotiated around 1990. Russia signed the agreements as did the newly-created government of Georgia.
If changes in these territorial boundries must be made, they will be made by free negotiations, not by military force of subversion. Russia: go home.
