If we "follow the buck" the main overall motivation for invasion, as always, seems to be oil. There could be a subplot however - given the history of the region. "Buck" has several meanings besides money. Going back almost 20 years to earlier conflicts in the former Soviet republics (e.g. the other Georgia) materials for a so-called "dirty bomb" were found - there are alarming similarities.

It may be too late to change that situation - but the beautiful Moscow subway would not be a smart place to visit until this situation is resolved.
