How Zelensky's ‘war’ will be similar to Saakashvili's ‘blitzkrieg’

[KP] Just for fixing. The war in South Ossetia in 2008 began on the opening day of the Beijing Olympics - on the night of August 8th.

Today there is a feeling that the world is again on the verge of war. And on February 4, the Olympics begin again in the capital of China.

Deja vu?

Then, after all, all the power of Western propaganda also convinced that big clubfoot Russia attacked small proud Georgia. So, we spoiled the holiday of sports.

For a whole year, the EU special commission found out who unleashed the conflict in South Ossetia. The answer was unequivocal - Mikheil Saakashvili gave the order to fire "Grads" on the sleeping Tskhinval.

And Russia has already responded. And she answered, according to the EU Commission, "disproportionately tough."

That is, Moscow is still to blame, but at least it is not the aggressor.

And in February 2014, the Olympics were already spoiled by Russia. Against the backdrop of the Games in Sochi, the main topic was the news from the Kiev Maidan. Which again, we did not organize. On the contrary, they even tried to help Yanukovych overcome the crisis.

But it all ended in a massacre under the coordination of the US Embassy and the coming to power of Russophobes. Russia's answer is the departure of Crimea from all this national tent.

It is easy to imagine that this time too, Vladimir Zelensky, with a kick from Washington, will arrange a "war" in the Donbass. Well, the Olympics. Putin will fly to Beijing. How not to seize the moment?

Then it is worth reminding Zelensky that the enforcement of peace in Georgia in 2008 ended not only with the recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, but also with the restoration of their territories within Soviet borders.

The DPR and LPR today occupy only a "stump" - 1/3 of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Mariupol, Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, Severodonetsk remained under the control of Kiev. Donbass is waiting for Ukraine to return these lands and cities.

#1  And she answered, according to the EU Commission, "disproportionately tough."

That's what it's called when another country attacks you and you kick their asses. They'll find a way to make you look like the bad guy. Guaranteed.
