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

🇬🇪Sanctions are already working.
Bidzina Ivanishvili is petrified, and his panic proves it.
How do we know? By watching how he and Georgian Dream have reacted to the wave of sanctions over the past weeks.
🧵Let’s go through it ...
1/11Image
🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹When the Baltic states imposed sanctions, Ivanishvili scoffed.
He ridiculed them, dismissing their actions as "only hurting the Baltic people". There was no retaliation, no panic.
Indifference was the message.
2/11Image
Then came the UK and US Magnitsky sanctions.
The tone shifted instantly. Ivanishvili slammed the panic button .
What is he so afraid of?
Two things:
1️⃣ Appearing weak.
2️⃣ Cracks and defections within his power structure.

In 2024, Georgia's political landscape has dramatically shifted from 2020. The self-proclaimed ruling party, Georgian Dream (GD), faces unprecedented international pressure, signaling its potential downfall.
🧵Georgian Dream is about to go down ...

The Oct. 26 parliamentary elections were marred by fraud, including multiple voting, breaches of ballot secrecy, and violence against election observers and voters.
2/17 Image
Unlike in 2020, when Western nations played a significant role in mediating post-election disputes and legitimizing the government, the current response is markedly different.

🇬🇪Sanctioned by Estonia🇪🇪—a nation unyielding in principle—you now live with a mark🎯.
Every border, every bank transfer, every trip raises a question: “Will this be the country that shuts the door?”
This isn’t just a list. It’s their new reality.

On December 13: Estonia expanded its sanctions list to include 14 individuals for human rights violations.
Some of these names also appear on Ukraine’s national sanctions list.
Estonia acted decisively, with input from its embassy in Tbilisi. Here is why they are sanctioned

1️⃣ Irakli Kobakhidze, Prime Minister of Georgia.

🇬🇪Sanctions. It is only a matter of time before the EU, individual countries, and the US impose sanctions—not just on Georgian officials attacking democracy and protesters, but also on business figures financing and sustaining Georgian Dream and 🇷🇺 grip on power.
🧵💰thread.

Sanctions must target those responsible for:
1️⃣ Rigging elections (GD leaders, judiciary, security services).
2️⃣ Crackdowns on protesters (MIA, police, security services).
3️⃣ Financing Georgian Dream through corrupt business ties.
2/24
Let’s examine the key business figures often discussed in relation to Georgia’s current political and economic landscape. These individuals are frequently tied to Bidzina Ivanishvili and the ruling Georgian Dream party.

🇬🇪The West’s hesitation in responding to the crisis in Georgia is a grave mistake. The dynamics on the ground are clear: Protesters are fighting against a regime that has captured every institution. They have no allies left within the system—only the hope of Western support.
1/4Image
The longer the West waits, the more time Georgian Dream has to crush resistance, consolidate power, and complete its state takeover. In this moment, cautious statements and delays amount to de facto support for the very regime the West claims to oppose.Image
Urgency is key. Pro-Western forces in Georgia cannot hold out indefinitely. They need targeted sanctions and unequivocal support now. If the West truly believes in democracy, it must act decisively—or risk losing Georgia to autocracy and Russian influence forever.Image

🇬🇪Vakhtang Gomelauri, Georgia’s Minister of Internal Affair, is emerging as a central figure in the violent crackdowns on peaceful protesters in Tbilisi. His role is not new—Gomelauri has long been a loyal enforcer for Bidzina Ivanishvili’s regime.
🧵Let’s dig into his history
/8Image
Gomelauri began his career as part of Ivanishvili’s personal security team. His loyalty earned him rapid promotions once Ivanishvili came to power, moving from the shadows of personal protection to the highest ranks of the Georgian state apparatus.
2/8Image
In 2015, Gomelauri became the head of the State Security Service, one of the most powerful institutions in Georgia. Under his leadership, the SSG was accused of wiretapping, surveillance, and targeting opposition figures—key tools in consolidating GD’s authoritarian grip.
