You and a few others seem to think that because Israel or US sold arms and supplied training to Georgia, they declared war on Russia. No such thing, if Israel and US. didn`t supply the arms someone else would. Propably the Russian military itself. As a matter of fact if you investigate you will find that all Georgian taks, and fighter jets as well as some missile batteries are of Russian manufacture,and were supplied by Russia. Internationa arms sales are one of the bigest bussinesse in the world and earn tramendous profits for manufacturers. Unfortunately for humanity arms will continue to be sold by nations to friend and enemies alike. Also Russia knew exactly which weapons were supplied before the weapons arrive, same way Israel and Russia know which weapon systems are sold to Syria, Iran etc. Just as Israel has just signed a giant weapons deal with India, Pakistan already knows which weapons will be arriving and is soliciting US. for weapons to counter them.
