I've recently heard one poster here claim that Russia was peaceful today and only defensive; so I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread about it. I will just start by posting a link to an article in the IHT, and a YouTube video provided by one of the Mods here:

Georgia accuses Russia of promoting war in Abkhazia - International Herald Tribune

What do you think?
