No Nation has recognized SOs independence, besinde Russia of course. They have done it just to piss off the Georgians and to do some payback to the West.
Russia is not a peaceloving Liberator, remember what they did to the Chechens when they went for independence?
One of the Problems is, IMO, that there are no commonly accepted rules for seperation. This has caused a shitload of Problems in the past (Chechnya, Kosovo etc.) and will continue to cause problems.
