Norge 🇳🇴 bør starte arbeidet for at NATO og Norge stiller med personell og soldater I Ukraina 🇺🇦 i kampen for å kaste Russland ut av landet.

Ukraina vil bli NATO-medlem så snart krigen er over. Vi bør allerede støtte Ukraina som om de var fullverdig medlem.

Ukraina har et betydelig behov for hjelp fra NATO og Norge på grunn av Russlands terrorkrig. Dette gjelder ikke bare våpen. En av hovedårsakene til dette behovet er den enorme ubalansen i personellressurser mellom Ukraina og Russland. Image
Norge, og resten av Europa, er sikkerhetsmessig tjent med at Russerne lider tap i Ukraina. Allerede det Ukrainerne til nå ha påført Russland av tap, har satt dem ti-år tilbake som trussel mot Norge. Image
Faren er at Ukraina, selv om de får solid støtte med våpen og materiell, vil slites ned på personellsiden. Image
Tilgang på NATOs profesjonelle styrker og støttepersonell, vil styrke Ukraina betydelig og redusere Russlands vilje til å stå i krigen. Image
Nå får Ukraina snart også tilgang på F-16 jagere, fly Norge har mange erfarne piloter til som kan bety en forskjell. Image
Norge har hatt betydelige styrker i flere kampsoner som Libanon, Kosovo, Irak og Afganistan. Aldri før har det vært behov for oss så mye som nå. Nå er det Ukraina som trenger oss. Image
I og med at Russland er involvert OG det er snakk om et fremtidig NATO-land, trenger vi denne gang ikke avvente FNs resolusjon for å bidra.
Ved å vise solidaritet med Ukraina kan Norge og NATO-land styrke alliansens troverdighet og avskrekke potensielle angrep på andre medlemsland. Image
Слава Україні! - Slava Ukraini! Image

🇬🇪🇮🇷Georgia is strategically very important to the Iranian regime.
Not marginal. Not incidental.
Under Georgian Dream, Georgia has become a country Iran actively relies on to move money, goods, and political influence.
1/11Image
That importance did not emerge by accident. It grew as Georgian Dream steadily lowered political, diplomatic, and economic barriers between Tbilisi and Tehran, even as Iran faced deeper international isolation.
2/11 Image
In 2024 alone, Georgia’s prime minister @PM_Kobakhidze made two official visits to Iran. These were not routine diplomatic exchanges. They occurred at moments when most Western-aligned governments were deliberately keeping distance.

🇬🇪Georgia is no longer a democracy.
This is not “backsliding” or “under strain”.
It is an authoritarian system where power is, right now, being engineered to never change hands.
Calling it anything else is denial.

Georgian Dream didn’t stumble into this.
They built it.
🔹Law by law
🔹Fine by fine
🔹Ban by ban
Repression that looks legal still counts as repression.

This includes the systematic party takeover of the state itself.
🔹Courts
🔹Prosecutors
🔹Regulators
🔹Electoral bodies
🔹Oversight institutions
Once captured, these bodies stop restraining power and start enforcing it.

🇮🇷🇬🇪Over the past two years, Georgia’s ruling party Georgian Dream has quietly deepened ties with Iran. Not rhetorically. Practically. Through trade, business access, and political signaling that matters far more than speeches.
1/9Image
While Iran faces heavy international sanctions, Georgia has emerged as a low-friction gateway: company registrations, banking access, logistics, and regional transit. This is not accidental. It is policy enabled by political choice.
2/9 Image
Thousands of Iranian-linked businesses are now registered in Georgia. Trade volumes are up. Air links operate. Financial and commercial channels remain unusually permissive for a country formally aligned with the West.

🇬🇪Nicolás Maduro was one of the first to recognize Georgia’s disputed October 2024 elections.
Let that sink in.
When Venezuela 🇻🇪endorses your election while democratic partners withhold recognition, it is highly revealing of the Georgian Dream @GeorgianDream41 regime.
1/10Image
Image
Nicolás Maduro did not just “acknowledge” the result.
He praised Georgian Dream’s victory as “exemplary” and attacked the US for questioning it.
This was not diplomacy. It was ideological solidarity between authoritarian systems.
2/10 Image
Georgian Dream now draws explicit or uncritical support from China🇨🇳, Iran🇮🇷, Russia🇷🇺 and Venezuela🇻🇪.
These are not random states.
They form an authoritarian governance bloc.

🇬🇪Peaceful protesters beaten, journalists assaulted, political prisoners jailed, opposition crushed, and WW1-era chemical agents used against civilians in the streets. This is not Europe🇪🇺. Georgia is not a democracy.
This is authoritarian rule in real time.
📷 Irakli Gedenidze Image
Georgia is witnessing a full-scale power consolidation: repression normalized, courts captured, media weaponized, and violence used as a policy.
Georgian Dream is no longer drifting. It is deliberately choosing the Putin model.
And the West is merely watching. Image
Like Putin’s system, this extreme Georgian Dream regime does not survive on popular support. It survives through elite dependency, business capture, and a loyal propaganda infrastructure. Image

🇬🇪BBC has confirmed that Georgian Dream used a WW1 chemical agent, Bromobenzyl cyanide, against peaceful protesters.
People suffered chemical burns, respiratory distress and long-term injuries.

The last government documented to have used chemical agents against its own population was Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. That is the historical company Georgian Dream now keeps. This isn’t crowd control. It is state violence of the most alarming kind. Image
And when we now know the regime deployed a WW1 chemical agent against peaceful citizens, their later actions expose the full depth of their intent. Georgian Dream had a plan and they stick to it. Image
