After 10 years of supporting the independence movement with financial and political cover, the idea that Russia was justified in giving citizenship to people in a different country is ridiculous. Maybe South Ossetia should not have been made a part of Georgia in the first place, but this stems from policies of the Old Soviet Union and not Georgia. Russia knew exactly what Georgia's response would be to provocation from the separitist and had carefully waited for an opportunity to present itself to go in heavy handed and remove the upstart Georgian president. American propoganda has been tepid compared to the Russian side. Russia carefully engineered this crisis.
