📖 The roots of the conflict trace back to the early 1990s when Russia supported separatist movements in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. This strategy aimed to maintain Moscow's influence over its "near abroad" following the Soviet collapse.
📅 After the Russian Revolution, Georgia briefly declared its independence in 1918, becoming the Democratic Republic of Georgia. 
Europe probably hasn’t seen rhetoric this extreme since the interwar period in Germany. It’s no less detached from reality than the infamous reports from Baghdad Bob (google him) during the Iraq War, and as wild as North Korean state broadcasts. 😠📉
💼 These so-called delegates are not just politicians; they are powerful business elites tied to their regions. They control state licenses, procurements, and public tenders, siphoning public funds into their private coffers while feeding their political patrons.
The implications of this move are devastating. A ban on opposition parties will create a one-party state, silencing the voice of millions of Georgians and dismantling the democratic foundations the country has fought so hard to build.
🏚️ Republicans renominated a candidate who introduced himself to the political scene through the "birther" conspiracy, a movement driven by racism, ignorance, and outright falsehoods. This tarnished his credibility from the start.
⚠️ The party’s statement almost certainly guarantees that under Georgian Dream’s rule, Georgia will never restore normal relations with the US 🇺🇸 and will effectively shut the door on any chance of becoming a member of the EU 🇪🇺.
❗️Kobakhidze knows that what he’s saying is false. This makes him a demagogue, but it’s worse than that—it reveals Georgian Dream's @GeorgianDream41 cynical misinformation campaign designed to falsely position the party as pro-European. 
👥 Georgian Dream @GeorgianDream41 has been linked to a sophisticated network of Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior (CIB) backed by Russian marketing firms like IMA Digital, which flood social media with fake accounts and misleading content. 
Trump frequently uses vague references to anonymous praise, adding a veneer of credibility to his claims without ever providing evidence. 🧐 
📜 One of the most controversial laws is the "Transparency of Foreign Influence" act. This law targets non-commercial legal entities and media receiving over 20% of their funding from foreign sources. 
Bidzina Ivanishvili, the de facto leader of GD, has deep-seated connections with Russia. A billionaire with significant assets in the country, his business background and political ascent are tightly interwoven with Russian economic and political spheres. 
Georgian Dream @GeorgianDream41 seems to have a strategy of using alternative facts, groundless labelling of opposition parties, maximizing fear and inventing imaginary threats like the "Global War Party." 🚨 
The pro-Russian and increasingly autocratic ruling party, Georgian Dream, is transforming Georgia into a safe haven for Russian business and investment.
❌ Trump's character and values starkly oppose what has made America great. Biden, on the other hand, exemplifies the integrity and moral fitness required for the presidency. 
Trump's character is marred by a history of narcissism, deceit, and disrespect. His derogatory comments about women, minorities, and even his opponents reflect a personality unfit for leadership. 
American voters and people around the world should be concerned. Not about Joe Biden's age, but about how the US media is completely failing to do its job. Trump is still a candidate, not because he is a good alternative, but because the media is impotent in how they treat him. 
💰 Norway has reaped massive financial benefits from the war in Ukraine, with increased gas prices (and sales) leading to over 1500 billion NOK ($143 billion) in additional revenue for ´22 and ´23 alone. 
Historical parallels often reveal much about current political landscapes. Let's explore how past Russian tactics in Georgia resonate today through the actions of the Georgian Dream party. 
GD claims to support EU path, as seen in Ivanishvili's April 29 speech and PM Kobakhidze's various deceiving statements. However, their actions reveal demagoguery aimed at comforting the people with false assurances. GD does not want to become part of EU.
