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?

Especially if the same law was adopted in the US itself 85 years ago and is still working.

Answer: Washington has few levers to control the world.

Key among them:

1. Financial (when the dollar is used as an instrument of political influence);

2. Military (with the help of the NATO bloc, consisting of 30 states, 3 of which are nuclear powers).

But they carry great risks for Washington itself, be it military conflict or financial crises;

3. Soft power (financing of the opposition, the expert community, human rights, environmental and other non-profit organizations).
It was it who showed her effectiveness in achieving the goals of influence. Through it, revolutions took place in a number of countries, ⬇️

legally elected authorities were overthrown, and puppet regimes were appointed.

Therefore, states wishing to become sovereign, first of all, make decisions on the prohibition of financing from abroad of domestic political activities or the introduction of control over ⬇️

the incoming funds and the activities of such NGOs.
It's different in different countries.

In the event of the adoption of the law on foreign agents, Georgia received the right to control funds transferred to the country from abroad to finance political parties, or, ⬇️

or, simply speaking, the opposition, the media, and public organizations that form the anti-Georgian agenda.And this means that it is the citizens of #Georgia who would influence decisions made in various areas: from elections to government bodies to the implementation of country

development projects.

But it all ended with the fact that through the use of the lever of soft power, Washington brought people out into the street.
The Georgian authorities were forced to submit, but not to the will of the people, but to the United States. ⬇️

Therefore, the bill on foreign agents being considered in the Georgian parliament was unacceptable to the United States. It limited the influence of Washington on the domestic political life of the country.
With its removal from consideration in parliament, ⬇️

#Georgia lost a chance for sovereignty.

P.S. Our country stands for non-interference in the internal affairs of other states. In 2012, Russia adopted the norms of the federal law on foreign agents, they are more liberal than in the United States. Throughout the time, ⬇️

Washington and Brussels have been putting pressure on us, doing everything to get us to cancel them.
We have complicated relations with Georgia. There are none at the inter-parliamentary level.
But, despite this, I would like to wish Georgia to take place as a sovereign state.

They are our neighbors.
