Russia: Update on Georgia

On early Saturday mourning bombs were dropped all over Tbilisi, specifically the town Tshinvali and two other small towns. According to the National security council Secretary Alexander Lomaia, the location of these bombs focused on economic infrastructures, the country's largest Black Sea Port, Poti, and the main road connecting part of Georgia to the East and Airport. South Ossetia declared independence in 1990, but was not internationally recognized for it. It seems like they are still tyring to fight for their independence today as Georgia sent troops into South Ossetia to put a stop to the people who are still pushing for their independance. President Bush and President Vladimir Putin met on friday to discuss the conflict. The article gave no furthure information about this meeting or any resolutions to this conflict. Sarmat Laliyev stated, " They are killing women and children, with heavy artillery and rockets." From all the information i gathered from this article and previous intellegence it seems like the Russian government is getting more and more corrupt. I would not be surprised if the government were to get overrunned by the people in the upcoming years. No honest civilian is going to want to be part of a Nation that is killing innocent and harmless women and children. They are not even going after strategic buildings or military bases in South Ossetia, but business buildings and civilians. The Russian President, Demitry Medvedev, told the press that it is his job to protect his people. I find this non sense the only indangered people are those living in South Ossetia, and yes they are shooting down russain airplanes and moving their tanks. I only see this as self defense as a response of the attacking of Russian military. If you would like to look more into this topic you can watch an interview with Georgia's president.
