This article is talking about why Putin invaded the small country of Georgia and that his reasons were to stop revolt in Russian Nations and not to try and annex it back into Russia.

This connects to class because it talks about life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They are making sure there liberty is intact by making sure there isnt revolt in there own country but they are taking liberty from Georgia at the same time because they are trying to invade them.

To me I think they are doing this to show people that Russia is still a powerful country and not be taken for granted. They have the power to control the countries around them and can feel free to use that power at any time.
