Yes, the same as in Georgia. "Divide and conquer" rule. Now Russians felt stronger and they are not afraid of West reaction, especially that USA stucked in Middle East and UE is military weak.

Because of USA invasion in Iraq, and with EU in Afghanistan. Russia is potraying itself as the friend of the Muslim world....and many Muslim countries are buying this, including my country - Malaysia. We bought lots of jet fighters and military weapons from Russia...and sent our astronauts to train in Russia..

Russia as a friend of muslim world? Knowing Russia's past and present history its hard to believe.
They rather use some muslim countries(like Iran) in their games with West and vice versa.
But it is all about money and the power.
But they have good weapon, and their technology is not that bad thnx to oil money.
In my opinion Russia will have to become member of EU and ally with Europe and USA especially that they(Russians) feel the breaths of millions of Chinese on their back in Syberia.
Maybe we need more time until russian politics understand this.
 
I think Georgia was set up for this one. There had been fighting between Georgia and the separatists in Ossetia before this, and Russia stated that they had no control over the Ossetian fighters. Georgia then took matters in their own hands, only to find out that Russia had more influence with the Ossetians than they let on. I think Putin may have made a miscalculation as to how this event was going to be recieved globally. Not unlike how Bush made a miscalculation as to how the Iraq War would be recieved.

In 2004, Putin attended OIC Leader Conference in Kuala Lumpur and Russia got observer status in OIC.

Plus they have 24/7 News Channel in Arabic called "Russiya Al Yawm" to propagate Russia to the Arab viewers....

Many Muslims think that Russia want supports from Muslim nations... Because Russia have good relationship with Malaysia, our local medias mention nothing about Chechnya...

you are right actually i just read that they signed a cease fire treaty

which means if russia attacks georgia again without legally declaring war and ending the treaty then.....

It will be recognised as a crime of war and usa and great britain and all those powerfull countries will turn to russia

thats all i know right now
