when Russia went into Georgia?


I will be honest my wife and I didn't hear about this whole thing that happened this weekend until today. And we are honestly are trying to get caught up and get our heads wrapped around this.

But my wife asked and I seriously don't fully remember what exactly happened 6 years ago. I remember ( after wife reminded me and this is as she remembers) Russia went into Georgia claiming the pipeline needed protected there was a few days of media showing missiles flying and than nothing.

2. Georgia fired the first shots...

....in this case...No one has fired shots. Russia walked in with people cheering them. Ukraine could easily be split in half (which they worry about because the monetary development is firmly on Russia's side), and that won't be good for Keiv if they are saddled with the debt they owe to the IMF.
