The nation of Georgia has learned from watching what the USA did in Ukraine; they want no part of it. The “Georgia Dream” party is essentially the Georgia equivalent of the U.S. MAGA party. Pragmatic, clear-eyed, nationalist-minded voters who do not want the CIA arm of USAID meddling in their affairs.
The majority of the people in Georgia do not support the continual bloodshed in Ukraine, they are pragmatic with their views toward Russia, and they don’t want the USA and Brussels determining their politics for them. Georgia Dream is like a Georgia-First party. They had an election last weekend and retained control over parliament.
Having spent tens of millions financing an attempted color revolution, and with Samantha Power having traveled to Georgia three times (twice while I watched her), the CIA and State Department are not happy with the result.
Power’s only victory was in Poland, she struck out in Hungary, Slovenia, Mexico, Israel and now Georgia.
Once again, Brussels leadership just cannot accept the result of the Georgia election and have vowed an investigation. The U.S. is promising to punish the people of Georgia for supporting the conservative government. A previous application to join the EU bloc is now in limbo, as Brussels and the U.S State Dept now try to figure out their next steps.
Making matters worse, the Georgia people voted to support a referendum that requires any political activist group to make the source of their funding from foreign government a matter of public record. Georgia’s opposition political parties will now have to reveal if they get more than 20% of their activist funding from the USA (they do). This type of transparency makes a color revolution more difficult. Hence, the EU and USA are very angry.
According to the process, Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili does not want expanded war with Russia. Therefore, just like Viktor Orban (Hungary), the prime minister of Georgia was targeted for removal and replacement with a pro-war leader.
Yes, if you want to have a Foreign Agent Registration Act in a nation where the United States is the foreign actor, then you must be a Kremlin stooge. So goes the argument. It would be a lot more difficult for the U.S. to meddle in foreign countries if the people receiving the money from the U.S. had to disclose it to their citizens.
