The realnews network is too leftist to be reliable and in light of russias threat to nuke Poland ,All russian and leftists sources are moot.The West stands with Poland and Georgia as well as other NATO allies.

Here's another eyewitness account of the massacre of Ossetians:

www.russiatoday.com...

“My relatives were ordered out of the basement they were hiding in,” said Maya Zaseeva, a refugee. “They came out with their hands up, hoping for mercy and sympathy for their children. But the last thing those kids heard was the sound of a gun. They were shot dead in front of their house.”

While the Russians/Ossetians may have looted Georgians in return, I don't hear many stories of the reverse.

‘Not enough coffins’ as rescuers restore war-torn capital
Russian rescuers are continuing to recover bodies from underneath the debris in the South Ossetian capital Tskhinvali – with many being buried in backyards without coffins. Doctors are working around the clock in mobile hospitals to care for the hundreds of injured people.

AMERICAN trapped in GEORGIA says Georgians Committing GENOCIDE.

I'm also pretty shocked at the amount of videos that show reporters being shot and/or shot at with automatic weapons. I mean this stuff is crazy. This video alone is like something out of a James Bond movie. It's completely insane!

Yeah thanks BlasteR, I've seen both those already. I did find interesting that in one video the reporters claimed that Georgian troops were out of control, were not following orders and were shooting at civilians. It does help establish a case for the OP.

That is what confused me also. They were, at first, talking about these being Russian soldiers and then the reporters said that who was shooting at them were Georgians. Does he really know who is who? The georgians are obviously pretty ticked off right now. Russia continues to break cease-fire deals in order to achieve its own objectives. And Georgia doesn't look like it can so easily defend itself at this point. Russia's lucky the AC-130 isn't in there bringin the rain at all hours of the day though. It doesn't seem Georgia has the kind of capability to fend of a russian assault of any of Georgia's major cities.

We haven't seen this kind of Russian hostility for a long time. If this continues, the instability of the situation could send us into a new world war just depending on whether or not cooler heads prevail geopolitically.

Well you figure that if they were reporting there on and with the Russians, and everything was cool- then they get fired upon- it would most likely be coming from the Georgians, right?

And yeah, Russia was peaceful until their citizens were massacred. If someone massacred my family would there be anything other than rage, and an inclination to use overwhelming, deadly force?

But it is surreal how so many news organizations in tandem are trying to vilify Russia because of this. That is the part that is so hard to swallow. We're just supposed to believe them in their own lie, and jump on the "attack Russia" bandwagon. What I want to know is what happens when the internet becomes censored and we don't have the benefit of first hand information to make up our own minds anymore?

Saakashvili may be put on trial in Russia, say prosecutors

Russian investigators have launched a criminal case on charges of genocide in connection with the events in South Ossetia. Russia’s Interfax news agency reports that the Russian General Prosecutor's Office has said Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili may also be put on trial.

Igor Komissarov, deputy chairman of the Prosecutor’s Investigation Committee, said it had "initiated a genocide probe based on reports of actions committed by Georgian troops aimed at murdering Russian citizens, ethnic Ossetians, living in South Ossetia."

According to the latest figures, about 1,600 residents and 74 Russian peacekeepers have been killed as a result of Georgia’s attack on South Ossetia.

Good. I hope they nail his ass to the wall on this, if found guilty. And from the sounds of it there are plenty of Russian/Ossetian refugees in North Ossetia right now that would love nothing more than to testify.

Edit to add: Just found this-

www.ft.com...

...The ground and air attack resulted in the killing of peacekeepers and the death of an estimated 1,600 civilians, creating a humanitarian disaster and leading to an exodus of 30,000 refugees. The Georgian regime refused to allow a humanitarian corridor to be established and bombarded a humanitarian convoy. There is also clear evidence of atrocities having been committed – so serious and systematic that they constitute acts of genocide.

So yeah. Nail him.

I doubt this low life will be put on trial. He'll probably flee to Britain, a safe haven where our government is only too happy to welcome terrorists and evil corrupt dictators with open arms.

what utter nonsense, what would the army have to gain from slashing 18 month old children, burning women alive. Any such behaviour with Russia as the neighbour would guarantee a war and defeat. This is clearly made up b*llocks
