War in Georgia

“Long-escalating tensions between Russia and the former Soviet republic of Georgia erupted into full-scale war Friday, leaving hundreds if not thousands of civilians dead and turning thousands more into refugees, forced to flee for their lives.” [1]

It seems Georgia is another proxy state supported by the US to expand its imperialist plans. Everyone who knows a bit of history should not be surprised by what is going on. Mass media – as usual – doesn’t give the appropriate context in order to understand the conflict. But if you are looking for the truth, you can find it.

I would like to direct your attention to Bill Van Auken’s article US-Russian tensions in Caucasus erupt into war.

Here is a map of Georgia which might be useful in combination with the article, and further background reading:
