NATO officials interviewed by Der Spiegelbelieved that the Georgians had started the conflict. The officialstreated the exchanges of fire in the preceding days as minor events anddidn't see them as a justification for Georgian war preparations. TheNATO experts however did not question the Georgian claim that theRussians had provoked them by sending their troops through the Roki Tunnel. But their evaluation of the facts was dominated by skepticism that these were the true reasons for Saakashvili's actions
Кроме этого Россия выиграла по всем пунктам
1) Показала всем соседним странам что бы на них не выеживались
2) Отбила Осетию
3) Ослабила Грузию
Медвепут все разыграл как нужно.. Сакашвики провели как ребенка.
