The war in South Ossetia.

As if joint exercises inevitably lead to war, right? Ukraine also held joint exercises with NATO, and what happened? Did we attack you?
What does this have to do with anything? Are you saying that Georgia is attacking Russia?! If not, then why are you resorting to extremes?! The comparison is completely inappropriate. Everyone in the world knows that Georgia is completely controlled by the United States, and no serious decision will be made by the Georgian authorities without permission from Washington. The exercises could have looked less like preparation for military action, even at this point. The exercises themselves do not necessarily imply preparation for an imminent military conflict, etc. But there are a few problems. Doesn't it bother you that Georgia is currently the world's (!) leading country in terms of the rate of military buildup? Doesn't it bother you that the country's military budget has increased 30-fold in recent times?! (zero is not a typo) Doesn't it bother you, in the end, that the United States of America has in every way supported Georgia's aspirations to increase its military and has even, at times, sponsored the country? Or maybe it's just a series of incredible coincidences? I'm getting at the fact that if the United States didn't give Mikheil Saakashvili clear instructions to carry out this action, then they gave the green light 100%. Perhaps the permission from Washington itself implied more humane actions, but it was distorted by the Georgians themselves, or it was misunderstood (or mistranslated).

P.S. By the way, the information about the Georgian army is a fact. Just so there are no further questions.
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
