everything they've got on an uncertain push for power. Sometimes, like Simion, they'll do the right thing and that's poison for this kind of politics.

Looks like Eastern European MAGA fans were betting heavily on a #Simion victory in Romania. #Georgia n Dream officials silent, as they'll need to work with Romania's new President in any case .... meanwhile GD pundits and influencers either completely silent leaning heavily ...

into Pavel Durov's claims about French influence but it's too little, too late after Simion himself conceded. This is the inherent weakness in Trumpist populism - it relies heavily on individual leaders, and not everyone is a psychopath willing to lie incessantly and chance

Tbilisi Mayor @kakhakala on the West: „If anyone wants to open a second front of war they have Baltic states“.
I’m sorry to share this, but I think It’s important for partners to know.

This was a very special evening. On our Christmas Eve (24 Dec), the Serbian Orthodox Church, uniquely amongst the orthodox churches, allows the Anglican community in #Belgrade to celebrate Eucharist in the Patriarch’s private chapel. Hvala! 🙏

@uk_Sparkle I got an email saying they'll be released digitally by email from the venue 2 hours before it begins - I'm no longer going, however, and I don't know who I can pass my tickets on to

[Joseph A. Smith @ex_fide]

I bought my tickets for #Käärijä's London gig yesterday and received booking confirmation but not the tickets yet. the money also hasn't left my account. Is this normal? How long did other people have to wait for the tickets?

[Joseph A. Smith @ex_fide]

@uk_Sparkle Same for me! they say if you don't get them 48 hours in advance, then call them but .... that would be a weekend and they're unlikely to sort it out then

During my hikes i have never ever encountered any Georgian politician, neither from opposition nor from government. By the way i have met Kyiv mayor Klichko with his team on a hike in Georgia.

Together with Prime Minister @RishiSunak we discussed recent developments in the region and our strong cooperation with the UK.

Expressed our gratitude for UK's enduring support and our continued commitment to continue our joint efforts for long-lasting peace and security. 🇽🇰🇬🇧

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?” (Psalm 13)

[Lasha Markozashvili @LashaMarkozash1]

Georgian governmental fake news television outlet 'IMEDI' is at its best, claiming that the West and #Ukraine are on the verge of defeat. They are doing what they excel at: misquoting and taking sentences out of context to spread #Russian propaganda.

[Joseph A. Smith @ex_fide]

@ThisIsAndro Make us guess which street it's on!
