The most unbiased view about US, EU and Russia disagreement. However, it does not inform about the fact that it has been the US and the EU the ones who have violated the agreements reached after the cold war.
This agreement history:
When the Soviet Union Collapsed there were several agreements that the United States and the European Union should have followed. But that was not the case, they have chosen to execute that wise spanish proverb which states: "Out of the fallen tree everybody makes logs or takes cuttings"
So, the EU started to expand too fast. However, Russia never minded that part too much, but they did mind NATO. The expansion of NATO is a very dangerous decision, because it awakes suspicion and lack of trust.
NATO expansion was executed and still despite the agreements reached in the past. James Baker former US Secretary of State pledged that NATO was not to be expanded to the East if the Soviet Union agreed to unify Germany and accepted the 'new Germany' within the alliance. That was a promise that the United States did to the WORLD and this is the root cause of this problem.
Saakashvili's action was supported by the US and some members of the European Union.
Russia has been responsible of its acts and it has stopped a masacre provoked by Georgia, but as I said before in others of my youtube 'more info comments', Russia will not accept that its national interest are ignored.
Bill Clinton and George Bush are to blame for this state of affairs in the world.
Russia has complied and even experience a very bad economic period during the nineties when the International Monetary Fund was applying its policies there.
Georgia has pledged to recover 'its' breakaway regions several times.
Georgia is taking Russia to the International Court of Justice, for a series of irrational reasons.
The US will continue arming Georgia and sooner than later Georgia will be a member of NATO.
The US will put the shields and missiles in Poland. The US have stated their intention already. They will support Georgia to recover those regions.
The fight is just begining. They are going to solve some issues first and exhaust (by spinning the media) other aspects until the time is right, maybe in a year or two, who knows! But something is really certain they are not going to stop their irrational behaviour.
national security cannot be based on promises.. made by nato towards russia. likewise it can be argued that iran promises it is goin nuclear for poer generation. there u go how it works double standards for nato.
