Fest steht, dass dies kein Erfolg Georgiens war, das umfassend gewarnt wurde, insbesondere von den Amerikanern, eine solche Reaktion zu provozieren, auch wenn Georgien selbst provoziert wurde, da diese Reaktion gut vorbereitet war, was mir vollkommen unbekannt war.
Once again, we need those on the ground to tell us what actually happened. It is true that this was not a success on the part of Georgia which had been very widely warned, in particular by the Americans, against provoking this reaction, even if Georgia itself was provoked, as this reaction would be well-prepared, something of which I was completely unaware.
