If you think that East Europeans are over-reacting when saying that our voices have been silenced in Western spaces, ask yourself how much you hear about the Georgian election or the execution of Ukrainian POWs in Western (heck, global!) news? Ignorance erases us from view.
The Georgian people have two options with three possible outcomes now.
1. Don't defend the vote and become like Russia.
2. Come to the streets, defend the vote, be crushed and become like Belarus
or
succeed and become free.
Be brave like Ukraine!
A bit about the constitutional crises in Georgia.

The latest Welsh labour movt aid delegation, organised by Senedd members led by @MickAntoniw1 + by South Wales @NMineworkers is on its way to Ukraine. Since the invasion this project has taken vehicles and materials worth many £100ks to Ukraine. More photos from this trip below!
When Stalin invaded Finland Soviet Union was thrown out of League of Nations.
When the successor state invaded Ukraine, I got a visit from the head of its successor organisation.
If Trump has such a great relationship with Putin that he could end the war with one phone call to the Kremlin, why didn't he do so in 2017, 2018, 2019, or 2020? (The war started in 2014.)
Or in the seven calls he had with Putin after losing the election?
Finally, somebody with the brain and the balls to tell the truth!
Recently, the President of Finland Alexander Stubb presented four conditions of a "Peace Plan" during an interview which Fox News.

This weekend, we celebrate Wine Day in Moldova – a proud tradition that brings together winemakers from across the country, each showcasing their passion and commitment to excellence.
Every glass of Moldovan wine shares a story of courage, history, and world-class quality.
Dictators are uniting against freedom—it's time for democracies to show their teeth.
We must use every tool to fight back. No appeasement. Dictators can't be reeducated.
Without a free #Belarus, there will be no lasting security for #Ukraine or any Western countries.

Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is in his interest - and his interest alone.
To expand his mafia state into a mafia empire.
This government will call out Putin’s imperialism for what it is.
Fascist propagandists in Moscow discuss the invasion of free Europe.
Meanwhile, some 🇪🇺 leaders discuss peace with Putin, others still worry that helping Ukraine is "escalation"!
Wake up Europe!
@blyskavka_ua Pay attention guys, this is the exact same threat I made on the first day of the war and I’ve been making it continuously ever since. That should be enough to let you know how serious I am.
Putins soldiers were in Ukraine for the entire 4 years Trump was president. Trump did nothing to stop that war. The war started in 2014; it escalated in 2022.
In the 1930s , we also had America Firsters , who said wars elsewhere didn’t matter to us, and who also admired a dictator in Europe. That didn’t work out too well for us or the world. Maybe let’s do something different now.
A common fault on the left is to speak to a world that’s not there. It’s not 2004. Our problem is not reckless US interventionism but US withdrawal and new international threats. We must start with the world as it is - incidentally, a conviction Marx himself held.
