Here is what I don't understand, and I really don't know much about the history of the region, but why would russia be backing the succession of Georgian territories. I mean wouldn't that be a declaration of war for any nation? I obviously don't get it, could someone clear this up for me? Are these terrirtories disputed? Does Russia want to absorb them?

If you really want to torture someone, take the memory of when I was smelling blood everywhere. That's disturbing. you can scare me forever. It burns my brain. I can't feel fear, but if i get stressed in a certain way, the fallen come visit me. Whatever the novacaine did to me, it messed me up. I had kiddish things before. i wasn't autistic
