EU Report: Georgia Started War, Russia Provoked and Overreacted
3|
As a European Union report into last year’s conflict between Georgia and Russia puts a large part of the blame on Georgia, the BBC’s Tom Esslemont in Tbilisi asks where this leaves the small Caucasian nation.
Even before the EU-sponsored report was published, Georgia was pushing the line that it does not matter who fired the first shot. The main issue, it said, is Russia’s ongoing “occupation” of its sovereign territory and years of stoking tensions between Georgia and its rebel regions.
Now the independent inquiry into the conflict has concluded. But it is not entirely the conclusion Georgia wanted to hear.

Right, the way Hamas started the was with rockets and stones and Israel defended with Tanks and missiles.
Tell me, rockets were kid toys while tanks carried nuke warheads, Omicrix.
Usual waste of money to feed European money-suckers: no such thing as OVERREACTION exists while defending civilians.
