1/7 Warum Michail #Saakashvili in #Georgien von #Putin ermordet wird. © Leonid Nevzlin 🧵

"Zurzeit liegt Michail #Saakaschwili in einem Gefängnis in Tiflis im Sterben. Er wird von den georgischen Machthabern und Wladimir #Putin ermordet.

2/7 Anders als #Putin hat Bidzina Iwanischwili, Georgiens unausgesprochener, aber offensichtlicher Machthaber, keine andere Wahl.

3/7 Er weiß, wenn er #Saakaschwili erlaubt, das Land zu verlassen und sich im Ausland behandeln zu lassen, wie es viele Staats- und Regierungschefs der Welt gefordert haben, wird er selbst getötet werden. Das Wolfsprinzip von Putins Rudel lautet: Töten oder getötet werden.

Dear subscribers and guests of the channel!
Long-distance relationships are an excellent test of such a strong feeling as love, even if it is brotherly love. For Alexander #Lukashenko, who went on a foreign tour, love for his "elder brother" not only cooled down...

but seemed to have vanished as he moved away from the president of #Russia, Vladimir #Putin. Putin conveyed to #Lukashenko the demand to come for a bow in the near future, or rather, to appear in person for consultations on pressing issues and to explain...

the disagreements that have arisen in the already agreed and approved plans. #Lukashenko at first hesitated to answer, referring to being busy. Then, he refused both the personal request of the #Russian president to free Sofya Sapega and the invitation to the "carpet".

Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Yesterday, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin held talks with the President of #Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart #Tokayev in the Kremlin.
1/13

The visit of the head of #Kazakhstan to #Russia immediately after the re-election can rather be called a visit of courtesy and the result of agreements with #Putin. The President of Russia recently asked #Tokayev not to suspend his membership in the CSTO for a year.
2/13

#Putin promised a number of preferences in this regard. On the other hand, the President of #Kazakhstan did not make any fundamental promises but did not refuse Putin either. #Tokayev is an experienced and sophisticated politician.

🇬🇪I try not to react to #Georgia-n politicians’ tasteless & baseless attacks but now I was left no choice.

I met Ms #Tsulukiani when she was a young, aspiring politician & a lawyer. Sad to see how she radicalised over the years & is now spreading lies & disinformation.

2/7
Ms #Tsulukiani knows best that I was & am one of the biggest critics of #Saakashvili’s regime & fought for the right of 🇬🇪 people to democratically elect their government. Accusing me of colluding with #UNM is a deliberate lie that no reasonably thinking person will believe.

3/7
#GD’s disinformation is reaching the #Kremlin’s level. GD is not #Georgia, criticizing GD is not the same as criticizing 🇬🇪. This is why I call myself a Friend of Georgia, not a “Friend of GD”. Stop hiding behind the country’s good name. Take responsibility for YOUR failures.

@jacobin

Here is a terrible, truly terrible, piece on #Georgia in @jacobin magazine. I won’t link to it, it's not worth your time, other than to show just how truly deluded many socialists in the US are, in making excuses for the #SovietUnion & #Russia. 1/n

@DemSocialists

That part really deserves attention and key takeaway: don’t trust a *single* paragraph of what you read in #Jacobinmag, if you do not know the issue yourself. (hello @DemSocialists) CC @ichbinilya @GilbreathDustin 2/

"Since the end of the Soviet Union, Western-oriented development has not only failed to address Georgia’s problems but reinforced them." With all these falsehoods, one doesn't even know where to begin. 3/n

okay, let's talk about what Boris #Nemtsov said after the 08.08.08 aggression (#Tskhinval)
Boris Nemtsov is a well-known russian opposition politician who was killed in 2015. there will be tweets with his direct quotes🧵
#Немцов #AbkhaziaisnotGeorgia #SouthOssetiaisnotGeorgia

“Let's start with the most dramatic and bloody events about Ossetia and Abkhazia. the problems of South Ossetia and Abkhazia have been dragging on for a long time, they did not arise during the time of Putin or even during the reign of Yeltsin, they are much older… 🧵

…The conflict between Abkhazians and Georgians dates back hundreds of years. During the time of Stalin, who was a Georgian, there was a forced Georgification of Abkhazia. That is, Georgians moved to the territory of Abkhazia and had to assimilate there…🧵

Good piece by @scharap on #US - #Russia -#Ukraine puzzle. Short THREAD with my own reflections on Sam's thoughts.

https://twitter.com/scharap/status/1461900383887007745

1/ Charap's reasoning is most realist & reasonable of other proposals coming from Washington these days on how to contain & deter #Russia over #Ukraine. Perhaps,RU does seek to change status-quo but this,as many in #Moscow see it,exactly what #US has sought to do in last 6+ years

@scharap

2/ In any case, what @scharap proposes seems to be the best option in the given situation - avoiding a major war should be the focus. Containing RUS is much needed from #US standpoint, but this policy too has its own limits & #Putin made it clear the limit been reached.

@FU_Berlin

I recently submitted my PhD dissertation titled "Illiberalism Beyond Borders. Dissecting Russian and Turkish External Influence in Bosnia and Georgia" at @FU_Berlin. Interested in what I found? Read this thread ⬇️

To begin with, I hypothesise that illiberal external influence (IEX) is more likely to contribute to the contestation of #democracy in a given polity when it appears in the context of a favorable domestic environment and the absence of liberal external counterpressure.

@otansey

I particularly scrutinise the role of domestic elites in facilitating/obstructing IEX, based on findings by J. Tolstrup, @otansey, R. Vanderhill et al. I also look at how liberal ext. counterpressure can help prevent a major contribution of IEX to the contestation of #democracy.
