🧵 Since last night, many people have been debating whether Georgia will start a new war against Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The answer is NO... They won't...

Georgia has started three wars before and used force against Abkhazians and the Ossetians over and over again. They continue to refuse to sign a non-use of force agreement.

However, this time they will not repeat the same mistake as they did many times before.

Therefore, no one should expect a new war.

'Dear' Georgians, stop spreading lies and admit that you were defeated by the Abkhazians and people from North Caucasus.

Most of the 1990s, Russia was your friend and Russia's policy was by NO means pro-Abkhazian. You shouldn’t have started a war against Abkhazians (and other non-Georgian population living in Abkhazia). As Shevardnadze confessed, this was your BIGGEST MISTAKE Admit that you lost a war that you started - against Abkhazians.

These days lots of “experts” are comparing Abkhazia with Donbas and reminding the August 2008 war... In fact, Abkhazia became independent 15 years earlier, when it successfully repelled an attack by Georgia.

abkhazworld.com/aw/conflict/15… Don’t look on Abkhazians as terrorists or separatists who are trying to get out and build some criminal state. We want independence. Like Georgia! Also, Abkhazia did not fight for separation. We did fight for independence. abkhazworld.com/aw/conflict/31…
