Georgians today hardly feel supportive of their president, Mikheil Saakashvili, who, in a foolish attempt to regain control over South Ossetia, provoked Russia to drop its peacekeeping mission in the region and turn its full military might to pushing Georgian troops out of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and then to occupying much of Georgia. The Russians bombed numerous strategic and civilian targets in Georgia, destroying infrastructure and producing growing shortages of food, fuel, and medicine.
格鲁吉亚人如今很难感受到他们的总统米哈伊尔萨卡什维利的支持，他曾傻乎乎地试图重新掌握对南奥塞梯的控制，这一行动激怒了俄罗斯把维和部队开进了该地区，并全力发动其军事力量把格鲁吉亚军队赶出南奥塞梯和阿布哈兹，然后又占领了格鲁吉亚的一大部分地区。俄罗斯军队轰炸了格鲁吉亚无数的战略和民用目标，摧毁了基础设施，造成了食品、汽油和药品越来越严重的短缺。
