Well, in your first link (which i already read a month ago or so) there are a lot of western sources which had proven told lies over decades.
Your second link (which i also already read cause you already linked it to me a month ago or so) is also biased. For example "Georgia (2008) - invasion" - what is a lie. Sakashwilli/Georgia first attacked Russia (in the hope to become member of the EU and NATO). Even the EU admit it

So as you can see a lot "sources" that you - honorable wise - try to give the members at hand are sources which lie as long as they can go if it is against a non westener state. And even against a westener state if it would demask US bullshit.
This is not a valid argument. My thread contain links which provide professional coverage of the war (Mapping Information; Facts & Figures), and links which debunk disinformation in relation to the war.
My thread is not a collection of subjective viewpoints - Russian or Western. You get plenty of both in this thread.
My 2nd link is apolitical and factual as well. The link you shared is peer-reviewed? Never seen it before.
Much better information in following links:

Georgian leadership(s) attempted to bring these regions to the fold through use of force but Russia under Putin administration annexed them in 2008. Georgia could not fight Russia of-course.
Russia is repeating similar game in Ukraine. Check following report:

Russia have its rationale for intervention in political affairs of other countries but it is logical and sensible to respect internationally recognized borders of any country.
OR
Russia is allowed to reshape countries around it as it sees fit?
International order should have rules, or WE are back to the Age of Empires and nothing changed.
What if other big countries start doing the same?
Would you welcome balkanization of Germany? Your country was split between NATO and USSR in times of the Cold War but Pakistan and NATO made it possible for your country to reunite. Be thankful to these forces including my country.
To be fair to Russians, their decision to defeat separatism in Chechnya is
FINE. Chechnya was not an independent SSR.
Same principle extends to other countries.
