It's Obama's fault we are here.
"Reset" with russia after it invaded Georgia.
No meanigful action after rusia stole Crimea.
Refusal to send or even sell weapons to Ukraine after 2014.
The disaster of Trump and russian invasion was brought forth by a weak and incompetemt presidency under Obama.
Tired of American libs who claim to support Ukraine being so blind to these obvious facts.

Studio Monitori in Georgia reported on scam call centers in #Tbilisi -- then their *entire* Youtube channel was taken down. They found the perpetrator, who charged $3-5k & had a "high-level sponsor" for this.
Remarkable work. @OCCRP

@belamova They doused not only water, but urine also. They spitted on guests, insulted Georgians calling them pigs and uncivilized. They destroyed wedding
Independent Georgia!
Everyone knows and admires Georgia for its centuries-old culture, traditions, and history.
Many politicians compete for the highest offices in Georgia. The country has its own Patriarchate, armed forces, police, and internationally recognized state institutions.
The civilized world wishes to see Georgia as a democratic, free, and fully integrated member of the European family of nations. Yet today, many people no longer remember who stood at the origins of the restoration of modern Georgian statehood and who served as the first President of the Republic of Georgia.
Zviad Gamsakhurdia was the leader of the Georgian national liberation movement, a dissident, writer, and statesman who led Georgia on the path to independence from the Soviet Union. He supported not only Georgia’s struggle for freedom, but also the liberation movements of Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and other nations oppressed by Soviet rule. During the collapse of the Soviet empire, he was among the most consistent and principled opponents of Russian imperialism.
During the presidency of Zviad Gamsakhurdia, Soviet rule in the South Caucasus came to an end, and Armenia and Azerbaijan restored their independence. The Georgian national movement expressed solidarity with peoples fighting for freedom throughout the former Soviet Union.
Despite his historic role, the name of Zviad Gamsakhurdia is rarely mentioned today on a scale that reflects the significance of his contributions. In many countries around the world, there are almost no streets, squares, or memorials bearing his name. Moreover, even in his homeland, there is still no state monument commensurate with the importance of his legacy. Following his death, he spent many years without a dignified resting place in his own country.
Today, as Georgia exists as an independent state, many have forgotten those who carried the heaviest burden in the struggle for that independence. Regardless of political views, it is impossible to deny the role of Zviad Gamsakhurdia as one of the most important figures in the modern history of Georgia.
Today, among the forces resisting Russian imperialism, the only military formation that bears the name of Zviad Gamsakhurdia and regards his ideals as a source of inspiration for its struggle is the Caucasian Legion named after the First President of the Republic of Georgia, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, which operates in Ukraine.
“Only dead fish swim with the current.”
— Zviad Gamsakhurdia
First President of the Republic of Georgia

Trump, after having a 90 min phone call with Putin, puts out a truth social that he is considering withdrawing all troops from Germany. Something sinister is going on between them. It’s time for “concerned” Republicans to speak out
