Georgia very narrowly avoided having a color revolution.

It's still possible, but seems like the peak moment has passed, and I think with NGOs getting reigned in things will start looking up.

i think this has been the most ridiculous attempt at a color revolution. seriously, protesting a transparency law ???

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 5 months ago

Seriously, it's been hilarious to watch people in places like reddit try to twist this into something nefarious. Like all of a sudden transparency is bad for democracy. 🙃

  1. The Georgian Dream Party fucking sucks.
  2. But any loss on the US’s imperialist machine is a good one.

actually shocked they still hadn't normalized relations since 2008, my god Russia is on half their border. apparently these bad relations have adversely effected their trade relations as well.

this will surely be a beneficial step forward

Bruh Georgian Dream party is conservative, Georgia is a puppet for decades like Ukraine and would be in North Atlantic Terrorist Organization if not for intervention in 2008 which also saved 2 of it's ethnic minorities which were oppressed same like Donbas was. Russia should just take Abkhazia and South Ossetia already and be done with it.

This article does not endorse Georgia's current ruling party, and neither do we. It is simply pointing out that relations between Georgia and Russia are stabilizing, and that this is a good thing for both countries while at the same time being a blow to the plans of the US empire to drive a wedge between them and turn Georgia into another Ukraine.

Georgia has been a US puppet for decades but it appears that enough people in Georgia have understood that that was not to their advantage and are now seeking to regain their autonomy and adopt a more neutral alignment.

As for the breakaway regions, so long as there is no pressing need for Russia to annex Abkhazia or South Ossetia the status quo is best left as is.

Well South Ossetia was already supposed to be annexed just last year and they just postponed the referendum and Medvedev said that it will happen. Meanwhile I don't know about that since Georgia was always unstable like Moldova and Azerbaijan, being puppet for too long and doing literally the same thing as Ukraine before it was stopped. And there is not a semblance of socialism like there's in Belarus, just conservative anti-communist capitalist puppet, not as bad as Baltics or Ukraine post 2014, but pretty bad.
