So while the world is focussing on the Olympics, Russia moves troops into Georgia and the fighting starts.

I kind of second hespa. AFAIK, Russian troops only moved in after Georgia attacked to retake and Russia sent troops (which were either there already (not sure, possibly called by the local government that nobody but Russia acknowledges) or at least nearby on alert) under the "we need to protect our citizens, no matter where" ruse. Neither side is playing fair and both are content with having a war, as far as I can tell. :-(
