Not sure if this was mentioned already, but Georgia 'started it'. Russia is capitalizing on the provocation. So our relative justification for stepping in is dubious. Aside from the fact that it is a war and civilians are dying, what is so special this time? Nothing... Except that it's Russia, and no one seems to want to see Russia get powerful again. In that way, our primary motivation is a somewhat selfish fear. So putting that aside, what real right have we to step in?

So they'll take whatever they can in this instance probably... But the big question is what's next? If they invaded Ukraine, for instance, would there be enough justification then for intervention? No clue, there...
