Hey all,
If u all have not noticed by now.. A new conflict in Eastern Europe has just occurred. Russia and Georgia have been exchanging military attacks on each other in areas of Georgia and the breakway state of South Ossetia for the past week or so.

You can probably catch live updates on this news on Yahoo! News and other news broadcasters. As I post this entry now, Russian military forces have already overrun and disabled much of Georgian’s Armed Forces capability. Russia has also decided to sign a truce with Georgia as they have concluded that Georgia has been punished enough for their actions on South Ossetia.
The Armed Conflict started on August 8, 2008, when Georgian soldiers, supported by tanks, aircraft and heavy artillery, attacked South Ossetia and its capital Tskhinvali. During this attack Russian peacekeepers sustained casualties under heavy fire, with reports of 10 killed and 150 injured. Russia ordered additional units to support existing forces in South Ossetia and from then on, it lead to military confrontation till this moment.
