When you see people having #EU flags in #Ukraine or in #Georgia (can’t be 100% sure I am not Georgian) it’s not about praising this institution. It’s about the direction of our development. For us it’s a symbol of democracy, human rights, the rule of law. Which is

opposite to what russia and communists groomed in our societies: corruption, banditry, police lawlessness, nepotism, dictatorship, class division of people, inequality on an ethnic basis, eternal condemnation of the privacy of other people, their appearance, and so on.

To some without experience of life in the Soviet Union, it may seem that there was no banditry, inequality, poverty, and so on, but they are wrong. Here are some examples of the “folk art”, idioms of those times: “everyone is equal, but there are some more equal than others”

Il partito "Georgian Dream" ha ritirato la legge sugli agenti stranieri sotto l'assalto dell'Occidente "tollerante" e dei suoi stessi attivisti orientati a Soros.

La Georgia ha preso la decisione giusta ritirando questo disegno di legge?

Saturday is Day 381 of #Russia's attempt to obliterate #Ukraine from the map, to destroy an independent nation and centuries of culture.

This is the only thread you need for all the news and developments around the war, here's y'day's thread to catch up:

Starting today with the British Intel update. London confirms that #Wagner troops have reached the centre of #Bakhmut. However they explain why #Ukraine is still holding #Russia at bay in the #Donetsk town.

They don't supply a map, so I've added 2 from Google + DeepState to help
There are so many exaggerations, lies & fakes in all wars; I guess these days it's easier, quicker to spread + difficult & time consuming to try to spot fakes.

#Georgia: The “foreign agent” law is officially dead. In the second reading, 35 of the 58 deputies present voted against it. The massive protests against the law, together with external criticism of the West, produced the "sandwich effect" which has efficiently led to the⤵️
following results: 1) This law itself is nullified and nothing similar will be proposed in the near future by part of the ruler party; 2) This positive precedent represents a “lesson learned” for both the public and the ruling party (the former can wield power if it sticks⤵️
together and the latter is not immune from accountability); 3) The public can be mobilized to pressure the govt to adequately implement the EU requirements for the EU candidacy. These protests demonstrated that the govt can be forced to compromise with the public interest;⤵️

Washington did not allow #Georgia to become sovereign.

The theory of American exceptionalism is that only the United States has the right to make independent decisions, and everyone else must exist according to the rules dictated by Washington.
Any state that disagrees with this runs the risk of receiving a “color revolution” in response.

Every country strives for independence. Only sovereign states have a future. Everyone understands this, but few were able to exercise their right.
We are for a multipolar world and a just world order.
The United States is for a unipolar world and its hegemony in it.

For many who have heard about the events in Georgia, the question arises: what happens if some bill on foreign agents could lead to such a confrontation?

#Georgia: The ruling party has decided to avoid political and geopolitical costs and has withdrawn the “foreign agents” bill. It was an action of self-harm, which came about as a result of monopoly power and a lack of real “checks and balances”. GD will have a hard time⤵️
recovering its legitimacy. However, it is too early to say that the opposition has managed to capitalize on the street protests. The polls will show how profoundly the legitimacy of the ruling party was affected. One lesson to be learned is that the EU needs to be⤵️

Day 379 of #Russia's attack on #Ukraine, here's my daily thread.

The fierce fighting around #Bakhmut and other hotspots in the east continues.

Bakhmut is 35 miles (55km) from #Kadiivka in #Luhansk region which has been under Russian control since 2014.
35 miles in 379 days!

Luckily, a quiet day with #Georgia's heavily Russian influenced Govt taking most of the headlines.

More death and destruction from #Russia already this morning.

Four people are dead in #Lviv region after local officials say a rocket hit a residential area.

Rescuers are still searching debris in #Zolochiv.
