No offense Abbyy, but these Russian soldiers doesnt look like a peace keeping force.

Im no expert of the conflict, but I know that Russia supports Osetian in its relationship with Georgia. I cant see how Russian troops would be peace keepers in a conflict like this.

By the may, itsnt the US and UK involved with Georgia in someway (traning etc..) ?

So how do "peacekeepers" suppose to look like? I mean Russian soldiers got that blue thingie on their helmets, right?

Russia supposrts Osetins because most of them carry Russian citizenship.

US did train some Georgian commandos/security forces or whatever, thats untill "students" stole a safe with $150k from their instructors rofl rofl rofl

It is internationally recognized peacekeeping force which entered region with permission from both sides under control of OSCE in 1992 to stop 2 years of civil war in this region.

They don't wear blue helmets or berets. They wear blue patches with yellow MC letters.

Please don't believe in "Georgian peacekeepers" in this region. Georgia have quote in peacekeeping force to fill it with Georgian peacekeepers but Saakashvili moved his troops into region without joining them to internationally recognized peacekeeping force. So this is just Georgian army are violating OSCE controlled peace threaties here.
