By the way, the 20% threshold of the Georgian Law is far more forgiving than the Foreign Agents Registration Act that applies in the US, which is way more broad and also more vague in its restrictions.
Also, it’s like libs and Eurolickers have forgotten that we’ve just finished spending 5 years of US media and government agencies crying about the possibility that Russia “might have meddled” in their elections. Why are they decrying a country that is trying to prevent that from happening.
On a side note, a few days ago, the Georgian president came on stage during a military ceremony and addressed the troops, basically asking them to help her overthrow the prime minister. The prime minister came up on stage after her and outright called her a traitor.
Why tf do these Georgians think they would be a part of the EU? No one considers Georgia to be European unlike Ukraine.
They have the world’s highest concentration of “NGO’s”. One for every 148 citizens. There’s a lot of money floating around that’s untraced. The likes of Frau Genocide, Von Der Leyen, are making all kinds of promises to them, same as they did to the Ukrainians.
I really hope Georgia pulls through in this situation, it seems that so much is happening right now globally when it comes to western hegemony. As in, they’re escalating and scrambling more and more to stir up trouble because their hegemony is being threatened. I don’t know what this means for the world but it’s interesting to say the least. I still don’t understand why Georgians are freaking out about this but hopefully they come around. This doesn’t make sense…
It makes as much sense as Hong-Kong people freaking out for a loophole fix for extradition towards Taiwan
Which means it’s probably US meddling
Oh god, the Hong Kong protests. Honestly when they first happened, or at least when I became aware of them, I genuinely thought they were BLM protests because they were happening/being talked about at large at the same time as the protests in America. I saw many people talking about the Hong Kong protests but not about what it was about, so I just assumed it was related since people were drawing connections. Imagine my surprise when I found out people in Hong Kong were freaking out over the extradition of a fucking murderer. Egg on my face, but we live and learn.
But yeah, now that you’ve brought it up I definitely see the parallels. Both protesting over something so insignificant and inconsequential. In Georgia’s case this piece of legislation would actually be a good thing, do they want foreign actors meddling in their affairs? If they’re scared of Moscow, wouldn’t this also apply to Russia?
protesting over something so insignificant and inconsequential
Yes and no. The thing itself is small and inconsequential, but the subtext is a protest in favour of joining the EU and joining Schengen. The fact that relatively important EU-politicians are there to speech to the protesters makes that all the more clear.
(Imagine the opposite: like the head of the foreign affairs committe of Belarus talking to anti-governement-protsters in a EU-country. They’d be kicked out of the country immediatly and Belarus got themselves some extra sanctions.)
Loooong screenshot of the thread
In firefox, if you press Ctrl+Shift+s, firefox lets you select the region you want to screenshot. The region can extend beyond the current view. I had to additionally use uBlock’s element zapper to remove the navbar because otherwise it would appear somewhere in the screenshot and obscure a part of it. Not very elegant but since nitter has been nerfed it’s the best I could do.
They’re really trying to expand this war.
So with all the aid money the US gives to countries it’s backing in wars, I have to ask:
Aren’t they worried that too much of their money is in the hands of too many people? Like with all the billions that they keep giving to the likes of Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel, etc. Doesn’t the dollar inflate and become less valuable in the world? They’re just printing dollars atp, if I were a Ukrainian politician with a few hundred million in US $ I’d start using that to win favors in other countries that need US dollars to pay their debts.
Start my own lending service with all the money I have.
Aren’t they worried that too much of their money is in the hands of too many people?
As long as the dollar is the reserve currency of the world, and as long as oil is sold in dollars, they never have to worry about inflation. That is why the US is so furiously stepping on anybody who tries to change those two facts.
