yet even that didn't seem enough for president saakashvili to reconsider his tactics. almost five hours discussion about. americans to stop ongoing violence and deterring russian invasion as well as about. massive assistance programs for georgia from the united states in order to start immediately build a massive was not to rebuild cds and villages but to rebuild the army so that it. tacking those cities in the villages again this is how this. funding brain top rated in moscow. response came in last in two weeks in late august russia recognize the independence of south a city. you have stressed many times that you consider this war to be the personal mistake of mr saakashvili that the russia doesn't blame it on the people of georgia. why don't you have the same attitude toward the recognition of the independence all face be your decision influences the people of georgia as a whole and it will probably diesel in many years to come. because otherwise we wouldn't be able to ensure the interests of our citizens or the national interests of the russian federation. just imag

the blame squarely on russia even once criticizing saakashvili for his actions. stand with the people of georgia. and their democratically elected government with its actions in recent days russia has damaged his credibility and its relations with the nations of the free world. bullying and intimidation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy in the twenty first century. between russia and the united states were never . a more trusting trading barbs had long been normal communication. well i must admit that i was hoping for a more objective analysis. i never had any particular illusions. and russia was put trade as the aggressor but. it was only sometime later that they began to admit. though the russians were tough. didn't attack first now of course after all these commissions including mr tally of venus commission everything confirms what happened in reality and. this diplomatic wrangling meant nothing for those caught in between iran when the bomb and subsided war continued to stare south in the face many now had to exude the partially decomposed bod

you have stressed many times that you consider this war to be the personal mistake of mr saakashvili that to russia doesn't blame it on the people of georgia. why don't you have the same attitude toward the recognition of the independence obviously your decision influences the people of georgia as a whole and it will probably diesel in many years to come. as otherwise we wouldn't be able to ensure the interests of our citizens or the national interests of the russian federation. just imagine that we would have to go in different directions after what happened. and his companions would start recovering their military power by the way they started receiving help of this kind right away much of the budget of the. for many years. held on to the hope that the georgian government would be able to preserve this territory within its own borders unfortunately though and this is the crime that really committed he committed against the future of his people and against future generations of his people. he actually drove the final nail into what had been his very own country with his own hands he

even though for obvious reasons my colleagues and i will never shake mr saakashvili and again. i consider him a war criminal. nonetheless we believed as we still do that it is the people's responsibility to deal with their own leaders. didn't we believe it's wrong to change a country's political structure and put people of your own choice in power in violation of the un charter we wouldn't quibble with you we believe that in the twenty first century people should act differently and the government should act according to different principles and principles of international law. in your reply you said we are number of times i know it's not the first time you've been asked this but this question is hard to avoid. as i understand it during that time you stayed in contact with the are pretty close as colleagues led him a putin did you have any disagreements with him well no our understanding has always been very similar but i can tell you that the burden of responsibility for such tough military decisions always lies with the one who's given your thirty to make them under the const

i think that the support that saakashvili got from the united states and some other countries played a certain role. but it wasn't just plain encouragement there was financial support as well. let me remind you that by two thousand and eight georgia's defense budget had grown to almost a billion dollars fifty times what it had been in two thousand and two. clearly georgia was boosting its military might. and something like this always affects policy. but. it seems that there was an understanding that since georgia applied for nato membership. there the bid was not rejected outright but that it was. on some kind of a waiting list and that it was invulnerable i almost felt like the nato collective defense principle applied to them as well. but i think that all of these factors eventually led second philly and some of his advisors to believe that they could achieve their goals by force. huey. many experts believe that saakashvili may have considered two possible scenarios the first one was based on russia not getting involved in the conflict for whatever reason or if. the second was tha
