Why did Russia intervene in South Ossetia? This was a clear case to give the CSTO peacekeeping force (the military alliance formed by post-soviet states) some legitimacy. Instead Russia marked its national interest…

Fisrtable my english si not really good so if u dont understand something tell me :p.
Why Russia intervene in South Ossetia? Easy->
1- South Ossetia is ''independent'' since 1994 or even before(aproximately). They have their own army, their own gouvernement, but its not recognised like and independent state because the USA don't want to. But, practically at 100% their are independent.
2- Russia has given a los of VISA to south ossetians, because nobody of south Ossetia can get a VISA to travel or get out ot South OSsetia cause the world doesn't recongnise South Ossetia like an state. So they need a legal VISA to travel and Russie give it to them. They are in fact Russian citizens.
3- Georgia atacks on South Ossetia, like 14 years ago, people is dead, people with RUSSIANS VISA, so russians citizen. = Georgia atack Russians citizens, or what's the same, Georgia attacks Russia, so its normal that Russia answer by counter-attacking.
The original error comes from Georgia. But all was planed by the USA with the georgian governement, i'm 90% sure...

Dear El_Sadar, your explanations seem logical but you forget one detail: South Ossetia is nothing without North Ossetia: and North Ossetia is not idependent, but under Russian sovereignty. So, please, do not lie: Ossetia is not and will never be an Independent State.
