Default A new war has broken out: Russia (again) merged

Although it was glooming since long. This has the potential to become enduring, and costly.

Russia cannot afford not to react, no matter what becomes of this:

We'll see how hot this gets, and whether Russia will bow into this full fledge. But if we keep the news eye and its now live coverage on this . . . it will be a conflict between the backed seperatest and the georgian government. Time will tell.

It's getting worse. Russian tank columns have entered the province, with more on their way, which technically equals an invasion (Ossetia by international law belongs to Geogia). Two russian fighterbombers are claimed to have been shot down, while a Georgian airbase was massively bombed. Military activity in the southern region of Russia is going high, Georgia already has ordered for general mobilisation. Massive destruction from villages and the centre of the provincial capital is reported.
