Rusia quiere anexionarse Osetia del Sur

Lo que empezó siendo una presunta operación para detener un supuesto genocidio va a acabar en una anexión en toda regla. Así lo dice The Times:

The Kremlin moved swiftly to tighten its grip on Georgia’s breakaway regions yesterday as South Ossetia announced that it would soon become part of Russia, which will open military bases in the province under an agreement to be signed on Tuesday.

Tarzan Kokoity, the province’s Deputy Speaker of parliament, announced that South Ossetia would be absorbed into Russia soon so that its people could live in “one united Russian state” with their ethnic kin in North Ossetia.

The declaration came only three days after Russia defied international criticism and recognised South Ossetia and Georgia’s other separatist region of Abkhazia as independent states. Eduard Kokoity, South Ossetia’s leader, agreed that it would form part of Russia within “several years” during talks with Dmitri Medvedev, the Russian President, in Moscow

Creo recordar que algo así no se veía en Europa desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Rusia no sólo no retira sus tropas de territorio georgiano, sino que encima va a zamparse un territorio que jamás le ha pertenecido. Rusia se está cachondeando de eso que se viene en llamar "comunidad internacional", especialmente de la muy somnolienta y tolerante Europa cuyo comportamiento, a lo largo de la crisis caucásica, ha sido impresentable. Al respecto, la bitácora Desde el exilio también hace su particular comentario sobre esta noticia.
