Retaliation? Georgia was fighting a civil war with seperatists. Those seperatists were backed by Russia. Russia was the meddler here when the forces they backed got hammered Russia stepped in.

Why would you think Tibet is a nation? Tibet is simply one of many autonomous provinces of China, and it has been so for centuries, apart from a small period in which the English "meddled". For anyone that has studied anything about Tibet during this period, you'd know that at this time, life for the majority Tibetans was slavery.
I wonder why foreigners fight for Tibets' independence when it's "ruler", the Dalai Lama, doesn't want independence? There are mixed views of the Lama, but everyone knows he's smart and knows what is good for his people (lol). Obviously (used loosely), becoming independent from China would cause chaos and starvation in Tibet!
As for Gerogia, I'll take your word for it. Maybe I've mixed it up, so I will not say anything else just incase I'm inventing things.
