Exactly the words of former US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage; who met with Russian Federation-controlled News Media ('Russia Today') Armitage made clear that, the actions taken between Russia and Georgia were extreme; and assured all, that Washington did not encourage Georgia to start a war...
Logic: With war in Iraq, & application for NATO, this would make no sense.

"We are not used to having democracies attacked."

Insight from Hotair: Sovereignty Wars...

History of a complicated (and unresolved) past...

Separatist conflicts (Source)

[Enlarge Image] -Int'l Stats-08





Most military conflicts in the post-Soviet space have had to do with the separatist desires of territories with different ethnic or religious demographics than the majority of the state they're officially recognized as part of... Some, destabilized, to be kept under control.

Conflicts in the former Soviet Union...
Nagorno-Karabakh – South Ossetia – 1st Abkhazia – Georgia – North Ossetia – Transnistria – Tajikistan – 1st Chechnya – 2nd Abkhazia - Dagestan – 2nd Chechnya

Such territories and resulting military conflicts have so far been:
Chechnya, where separatists have been seeking independence from Russia. This conflict has bled over into and Dagestan and Ingushetia likely, at times.
Transnistria, de-facto independent from Moldova
Abkhazia and South Ossetia, de-facto independent from Georgia, and Adjara has been seeking higher level of autonomy.
Nagorno-Karabakh, de-facto independent from Azerbaijan and Talysh-Mughan Autonomous Republic (Talyshstan) has been seeking higher level of autonomy.

Civil wars unrelated to separatist movements...
These have occurred twice in the region:
The Georgian Civil War between the forces of Zviad Gamsakhurdia and Eduard Shevardnadze. The war ended after Russian forces intervened in support of Shevardnadze's government, which in turn agreed to join the Commonwealth of Independent States.
The Tajikistan Civil War that lasted between 1992 and 1997.
