Fresh Evidence: Russia Started the War. Today, the Russian Embassy in Sweden placed an advertisement in Dagens Nyheter, the biggest newspaper in Sweden. It invited people to join a ceremony for the victims of the war they claim that Georgia started. Today, international media, such as the Herald Tribune, has top news about new evidence showing how Russia started it all.

Of course, we already know that Russia had been building up along the border for a long time. As Georgia found it necessary to use force to stop violence in South Ossetia, Russia had their excuse for invsion. But now there is evidence that the Russian army actually entered Georgia a day before Georgia even used force.

Though most admit that Russia used too much force and misbehaved in many ways, voices that claim that Georgia started it all are common. Hopefully, this will change that debate. Such a belief is naïve nonsense that ignores how the current Russian regime works; internally authoritarian and externally aggressive.
