So in case you haven't noticed, Russia invaded Georgia recently.

Georgia and Russia were both part of the former Soviet Union (Georgia is north of Turkey and Russia is north of Georgia. Georgia and Russia have been on unfriendly terms since the breakup of the Soviet Union and has petitioned NATO for membership. NATO hasn't officially accepted Georgia at this time.

There are two groups in Georgia that want to split off from the country, Russia has been backing these separatists and recently Georgia's military moved into those regions. To be clear, Georgia owns those regions, but some of the people there just don't like the Georgia government very much (it would be like the US army rolling into San Francisco or Berkeley).

So to "protect" the Russian "peacekeepers" in the region, Russia rolled its army and air force into these separatist areas and then moved towards Georgia's capital.

So we have a NATO friendly country (Georgia) suddenly invaded by Russia (not so NATO friendly).

What, if anything should NATO, the US, the UN, or anyone else do?
