Georgia invaded one of its neighboring states, ossetia, that broke off and became an independent state in the 1990s. While the whole of Ossetia is an independent state, south Ossetia was a previous territory of Georgia and Georgia, wishing to regain its lost territory, invaded. Ossetia however, has gained close ties with Russia in the past years and now has the Russian military on their side. Russia now is attacking Georgia for invading its ally, but instead of staying within Ossetia, they are crossing the border into Georgia and fighting there, as well as bombing areas outside zones in which fighting is taking place.

Why did the US not declare war when Russia invaded the state of Georgia?

It depends on what you mean by the State of Georgia, but let us be clear, Russia invaded the Republic of Georgia, a country in Europe and Asia, not the US State of Georgia. If Russia had invaded the US, the US certainly would have declared war on Russia.As for why the US did not declare war on Russia, this is probably to avoid sparking World War III, as well as the US's lack of a clear approach to dealing with international conflicts and changing developments under the Obama administration.
