Thanks, I am a strategist, I am aware of the history behind it. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. The reason why Georgia attacked, is irrelevant. The reason why Russia attacked is also irrelevant (to the original post). Georgia wanted to gain something but only with the idea it was playing it safe with USA covering their ***. They failed. If you are aggressive with the idea that someone else will do the serious fighting for you if things get bad (or that they won't because of it), you are doomed to fail.

Of course, there is another theory, that Georgia was played by both USA and Russia, but it is going to be really hard for anyone to prove that lol.
