If Russia was so horrible in what they're doing, why would so many South Ossetians be taking refuge in Russia?

First of all, Ossetia territory is inside the country of Georgia.
If the Ossetian residents want to become Russian, let them continue to cross the border into Russia.
Russia has no business crossing the border into Georgian territory period!
Having been married for the last 10 years to someone from the former USSR, it's not a freakin picnic over there -- no matter what country you are from.
Putin's trying to take back what was once theirs... Georgia and Ukraine have the largest ports on the Black Sea -- this is important to Mother Russia...afterall it USED TO BE theirs!
There is a lot more to this than what you read in the news...but Momma wants it all back, and she will take one at a time and blame it on something else, until she gets it all back.
The Ukraine is threatening to close Russian military ports on the Black Sea, as this has now escalated to a Russian blockade of Georgian ships... Ukraine is now threatening the same thing, except against Russian ships
Go ahead and pay your attention to the Olympics (perfect timing for Putin -- a great diversion)...while Russian tries to take back everything that was once theirs.
I have heard Russia's defense of their invasion -- we read Russian news (yes in cyrillic)...
their claims are that there are many Russian citizens living in S. Ossetia.
While that MAY be truthful, can you imagine if the US got wind of trouble in lets say Germany, and the German militia entered Bavaria, to stop the violence, etc... then the US decided to invade as well because there are American citizens living there too... imagine the uproar ???
or how about this one:
people living in North Dakota are wanting to be Canadian citizens...so the US goes into N. Dakota and tries to stop the conflicts, and keep it's state... but then Canada invades into North Dakota because there are Canadian Citizens living there...
CANADA HAS NO F**KING BUSINESS INVADING....neither does Russia. If North Dakotans want to become Canadian Citizens, let them cross the border and move.
