Someone already told you that this is a sign of larger geopolitical reorientation; even if only briefly for a "bartering chip" that shows how the overall world reacts under U.S "international law" and how those reactions are changing compared to even five-six years ago.

I've been told that, but I haven't seen any kind of evidence supporting the theory.

So far the only governments outside of China that just so happen to be "reorienting" their geopolitical alignments are led by authoritarian conservative governments.

That this was likely shared here because we support any chip in the U.S empire and global hegemony

And how do you determine what's a chip against the global hegemony, and not just a legal fiction used to further entrench conservative governments?

The Left" is a completely disingenuous statement which tells me you likely aren't a regular here and think we give a shit about people politics.

And yet you are ignoring the innate economic motivators leading to the shift in geopolitics to begin with?

No one here is defending them and multiple people have tried to point out their actual positions to which you just reiterate that we're supporting X and must believe X.

You don't know what you are supporting because you aren't interested in the regional political history. I get what you want to support, but you're blind to the motivations of the person who is pulling the strings.

Are you trying to be a wrecker or something?

No, just worried for friends in Tbilisi. Ivanishvili has been trying to put the last nail in the coffin for communist and socialist in Georgia for a long time, and allowing him to shut out opposition parties is probably going to be dangerous for them.
