In this case it’s Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, who continues to pimp the lie that the Rissians attacked first.

No, they didn’t. They knew that you would attack, and they knew when and where you would attack almost before you did, and so massed troops on their side of the border waiting for the balloon to go up, but you attacked first.

Being stupid, and having your state security apparatus thoroughly penetrated by a large unfriendly neighbor does not make you the victim of an attack. It just makes it either stupid or insane to launch an attack against their troops and allies.

You sir, notwithstanding your vaunted Western education, are both stupid and insane.
