The BBC have formally recognised Abkhazia and South Ossetia

The BBC really miss the old Soviet Union, they long for a country to stop the evil world domination by the USA. So when I saw this page I was not too surprised to see that the BBC are now happy to show Abkhazia and South Ossetia as separate countries with their capital and the name of their Presidents listed.

Well done BBC, the Russians were provoked into invading, not that it was an invasion and anyway it's all over and all countries deserve to be allowed to breakaway. Shhh, don't mention Chechnya.
