Georgia blundered and Russia maximized the opportunity that was presented to them. Shouldn't you be thanking Georgia for being so stupid?

Re: what's going on in South Ossetia now?
This is a reminder of the "We will bury you" days of Khrushchev.
They've taken lands by force and are committing atrocities and now WE must 'behave' just to get them to relinquish the lands they have unlawfully taken. YouTube - Khrushchev Threatens Dag & UN 1960/10/03 (1960) "We Will Bury You!" - TIME

Re: what's going on in South Ossetia now?
Georgia is a very important and strategy country for the us and so the development shouldn't wonder. For Russia it is important to hold the overhand in the region and so they could not tolerate a situation in which the us get more ans more power in that region. So they have to supress all uprisings so as that from georgia.

Being at least on a strategical level prepared, doesn't mean that one is focusing on that event and the fact that the Russians haven't taken over Tiblisi is a sign that it wasn't part of their plan. If they wanted Tiblisi and Saakashvili, they would have done so, there was nothing left to stop them after the first days of conflict.
