[quote] TBLISI, Georgia (CNN) -- Russian and Georgian troops fought Friday over the disputed Caucasus region of South Ossetia as world powers implored the two nations to end the violence. Georgian police help a wounded soldier in Gori town. News reports documented fierce clashes between Georgian and Russian forces -- engagements that caused deaths, property damage, and population displacement in South Ossetia, a pro-Russian autonomous region of Georgia. Much of the fighting was in and around the South Ossetian capital, Tskhinvali, where black smoke from fire wafts overhead, Interfax news agency reported. [b]One U.S. State Department official involved in the diplomacy called the conflict a "very dangerous situation" and said diplomatic moves are afoot around the globe to stop the flare-up.[/b] [b]Georgia -- located on the Black Sea coast between Russia and Turkey --appealed for diplomatic intervention, but stressed it was not asking for military assistance.[/b] Georgia's president said: "All day today, they've been bombing Georgia from numerous warplanes and specifically targeting (the) civilian population, and we have scores of wounded and dead among (the) civilian population all around the country," President Mikhail Saakashvili told CNN in an exclusive interview. "This is the worst nightmare one can encounter," he said. Video Watch the interview with Saakashvili » Hundreds of people, possibly thousands, are fleeing South Ossetia to the Russian region of North Ossetia-Alania, the United Nations reported Friday, citing Russian officials. About 400 more are believed to have fled for other parts of Georgia, the United Nations said. Asked whether Georgia and Russia were now at war, he said, "My country is in self-defense against Russian aggression. Russian troops invaded Georgia." About 150 Russian armored vehicles have entered South Ossetia, Saakashvili said, and Georgian forces had shot down two Russian aircraft.Video Watch the Russian tanks moving into the area » Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, quoted by the Russian news agency Interfax, said Russians had died because of Georgia military operations in South Ossetia. Russia "will not allow the deaths of our compatriots to go unpunished" and "those guilty will receive due punishment," he said. "My duty as Russian president is to safeguard the lives and dignity of Russian citizens, wherever they are. This is what is behind the logic of the steps we are undertaking now."

Many ethnic Ossetians feel close to Russia and have Russian passports and use its currency. iReport.com: Are you there, share your photos, videos Russia's Defense Ministry said it sent "reinforcements" to South Ossetia to help the Russian peacekeepers already stationed there. Interfax news agency quoted the Georgian Foreign Ministry as saying strikes by Russian aircraft killed and wounded personnel at a Georgian airbase, and that Russian planes have been bombing Georgian territory throughout the day. Georgian officials also report four Russian aircraft shot down. The U.S., NATO and European Union have all called for an end to the fighting. U.S. President George Bush and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Friday discussed the conflict in Georgia, the White House confirmed. Read how the world is reacting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told his counterparts in the United States and Germany and the European Union's foreign policy chief that Georgia was the aggressor and should immediately withdraw its troops from South Ossetia. In a letter addressed to his "fellow citizens" Friday, Saakashvili said he had mobilized tens of thousands of reserve officers and that the mobilization continued. "We must unite," Saakashvili wrote. "All of us, hundreds of thousands of Georgians here and abroad, should come together, unite, and fight to save Georgia. We are a freedom-loving people, and if our nation is united, no aggressor will be able to harm it." By early evening Friday, Georgian Cabinet minister said the country's forces have taken control of the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali, Interfax reported. The Novosti news agency, citing the South Ossetian government, said Georgian tanks and infantry attacked Tskhinvali and "a large part of the city has been destroyed. Over 15 civilians have been killed, several buildings are on fire in the city center, and the local parliament building has burned down." But Russian and South Ossetian officials said Russia was making inroads in fighting Georgian forces. "Street fighting in Tskhinvali has lasted for many hours. Ossetian home guards are using grenade-launchers to destroy Georgian tanks. Eyewitnesses say tanks are burning throughout the city. The turning point is approaching in the battle for the capital city," said the Web site of the South Ossetian Information and Press Committee. The committee also said Russian armored vehicles have entered the northern suburb of the city. Violence has been mounting in the region in recent days, with sporadic clashes between Georgian forces and South Ossetian separatists. Georgian troops launched new attacks in South Ossetia late Thursday after a top government official said a unilateral cease-fire offer was met with separatist artillery fire. Alexander Lomaia, the secretary of Georgia's National Security Council, said Georgian troops responded proportionately to separatist mortar and artillery attacks on two villages -- attacks he said followed the cease-fire and call for negotiations by Saakashvili. Russia said a Georgian attack on a military barracks left a number of Russian peacekeepers dead. Russian peacekeepers are in South Ossetia under a 1992 agreement by Russian, Georgian, and South Ossetian authorities to maintain what has been a fragile peace. The mixed peacekeeping force also includes Georgian and South Ossetian troops. advertisement Saakashvili said the Russian invasion of South Ossetia was pre-planned. "These troops that are in Georgia now -- they didn't come unexpectedly," the president told CNN. "They had been amassing at the border for the last few months. They claimed they were staging exercises there and as soon as a suitable pretext was found, they moved in."

[QUOTE=karimatrix]I live in Russia. And if you could hear what those people screamed and cryed - you would understand that we are the one who say the truth.[/QUOTE] People die. For all you know it's the same situation over there. Demonizing them so you can keep your trivial categories of right and wrong won't make you righteous. Even if the did, are you honestly telling me they decided to target civilians? If not, then I believe they are justified, as Russia is run by corrupt villains, not above decimating an entire country and turning it into a living hell. People will die, that is always going to happen, but I would rather side with them than Russia.
[QUOTE=demoguy08]One can only hope Russia decides to be mature about the situation then.[/QUOTE] WHEN HAS RUSSIA EVER BEEN MATURE? Fuck Russia is like your regular CSS player: His finger twitches every time something comes behind a corner. And is not soft on hossies. IF US manages to fuck this up, whole North and East Europe might be fucked, and- Fuck that's really shocking news for me. I live in a little country next to the Russia, and we were under their control for the last 80 years. It was like living in a big concertration camp. Fuck, Russia even tried to crash all of the baltic states goverment with the use of angry mob controlled from Kreml. Above are listed reasons, why I want to horribly mutilate everyone wearing a hammer-cycle avatar. [b]Edit:[/b] But, FUCK scary news! [b]Edit:[/b] Also post above me speaks truth.
[QUOTE=NightriderAO]So Georgia is not asking for military support from the West, only diplomatic support, and there are already diplomatic goings-on.[/QUOTE] Considering the circumstances, this is all political. Of course they'd love military support if shit really goes south (figuratively and literally). When it comes to these sort of things you have to watch what you say, and this is all to be expected.
