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.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussianWar #Ukraine #SlavaUkraini Image
Ukraina vil bli NATO-medlem så snart krigen er over. Vi bør allerede støtte Ukraina som om de var fullverdig medlem.

theguardian.com/world/2023/jun…
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

🇬🇪Georgian Dream is not EU-skeptic. GD runs a calculated campaign to ensure Georgia never qualifies, never progresses, and never joins the EU.
The anti-EU rhetoric is now the strategy itself.
The last three weeks make that very visible. 👇
1/13 📷 Civil.geImage
Two facts the regime cannot move. Over 80% of Georgians want EU membership. EU integration is written into the constitution. The pro-Western direction is not a Western imposition. It is the codified preference of Georgian voters, repeated in every credible poll for a decade.
2/13Image
Shaddow ruler Ivanishvili cannot allow that. The US sanctioned him in Dec 2024 for "undermining the democratic and Euro-Atlantic future of Georgia for the benefit of the Russian Federation."
His, and Putins, political project requires the EU path to fail.

🇬🇪Open letter, meet open record.
PM Kobakhidze writes to von der Leyen, Costa and Metsola to lecture the EU on police violence in Copenhagen. Peaceful protesters beaten with batons, set on by dogs he claims.
Then read what his own police do, and never answer for.
1/13 👇🧵Image
The letter casts Georgia as the guardian of European values and Brussels as the backslider, with Denmark as the exhibit.
He picked the one subject on which his own government has the longest and best documented record.

The premise is whataboutism, and it collapses on contact.
The question is never whether police use force. Every state's police use force. It is whether anyone is held to account when they do.

🇬🇪🇺🇸The Trump family recently signed Georgia's tallest building. Their local partner is a former Georgian Dream MP whom US lawmakers flagged as a regime financier. The deal lands while Bidzina Ivanishvili, GD's founder, sits under active US sanctions.
1/6thedailybeast.com/trumps-sign-me…
The partner is Archi Group, founded by Ilia Tsulaia. Former MP for Ivanishvili's party. Named on the sanctions-target list US lawmakers reportedly handed Marco Rubio in January 2025. He has not been sanctioned. That gap is the story. @willneal93
2/6Image
His firm took an estimated $7.2M from Ivanishvili's state Partnership Fund for a Tbilisi factory (Transparency International, 2019). In the same 2016-2018 window, he and his partners donated hundreds of thousands back to the ruling party.
State money in, party money out.

🇬🇪🇺🇦Georgian Dream wants one gift from the West: recognition.
GD does not want the gift Kyiv just offered: friendship.
The Yerevan handshake between Zelensky and Georgian PM Kobakhidze was not normalization. It was a strategic trap.
Here's why GD secretly hates this opening.
1/15 Image
This is the third pressure in six weeks.
April 3: Marc Rubio's call to Kobakhidze. The gift GD wanted. Triggered Iranian and Russian counter-signals in 48 hours.
April 12: Hungary's Orbán lost his election. EU firewall gone.
May 4: Zelensky offers the gift GD did not want.
2/15
Sidelines of the 8th European Political Community summit in Yerevan. Ukraine initiated. Kobakhidze "immediately confirmed."
🇺🇦FM Sybiha and 🇬🇪FM Bochorishvili met separately. Return of ambassadors discussed.
Sybiha called it "historical."

🇬🇪🇭🇺Hungary under Orbán shows that a heavily rigged electoral system can still be contested. Georgian opposition is right to study it.
But the comparison only holds if you understand precisely how different the Georgian reality is.
1/11 Image
What Hungary demonstrates: even with gerrymandered districts, captured media, and rewritten electoral law, a resourced and organized opposition can compete for real stakes. The system was bent. It was not broken.
2/11
Transferable lessons exist: long-term civic coalition building, unified candidate lists, refusing to let the regime define the terms of the contest. These are real tools. Georgia's opposition should absorb them.

🇬🇪🇭🇺Viktor Orbán lost Hungary's election yesterday. For most Europeans, this is a relief. For Georgian Dream, it is a strategic catastrophe.
Their single most important protector in Europe is gone. Here's what that actually means.
1/6 @MakaB__ Image
Since Oct. 2024, Hungary was Georgian Dream's lifeline inside the EU. Orbán blocked every attempted sanctions package against GD officials. He vetoed EU condemnation statements. He hosted GD in full government summits. Twice.
No other EU state came close to doing any of this.
2/6
GD's own words made the dependency explicit.
After CPAC March 2026, Kobakhidze told reporters Hungary "remains the main defender of Georgia's national interests in Europe."
FM Botchorishvili began her tenure by flying to Budapest first. She called it "unwavering support."
