Scott Ritter's future father in law was ethnic Georgian prof in the Abkhaz region when civil war broke out. He fled under fire.  So he keeps up on Georgia. Ritter's  daughter did Peace Corps in Georgia for a couple years.

US and EU are pumping money into Georgia through NGOs as they did in Ukraine. The president is a westerner maybe French. She is commander in chief. Years ago the US marines trained the Georgian army and then they invaded the partly ethnic Russian region of South Ossetia. It ended poorly for Georgia and the politicians behind this.

There is an election coming up and the party likely to win is not pro war. According to Ritter, the president recently told the army to remember who trained them. A possible attempt to back a coup. Maybe an attempt to influence the lower ranks as the senior ranks mostly want no part of a war. US wants to create a war to weaken Russia. If Georgia ends up a cinder that is not a bug but a feature.

In this explosive expose, Scott Ritter, a renowned military analyst, unveils the U.S.'s covert operations in Georgia, aimed at destabilizing the region and provoking Russia. Ritter reveals how the U.S. is allegedly funneling funds to non-governmental organizations in Georgia with the intent to manipulate the upcoming elections and orchestrate a government coup. This strategic maneuver is depicted as an attempt to transform Georgia into a "second Ukraine," creating another front in the conflict against Russia. This analysis delves deep into the implications of such actions on international relations, regional stability, and global peace, offering a critical view of the real motives behind the U.S.'s foreign policy in Eastern Europe.

‘Ukraine Today Is Not a Democracy’: An Interview with Former Ambassador Jack Matlock

I went to Kyiv, it must have been either 1993 or 1994, with a group of people who had worked on our National Security Council. We had an agreement with the Ukrainian government to come and describe to them how we operated in the National Security Council in Washington. When we finished our presentation, a senior Ukrainian official commented: “You are talking about foreign relations, but our problem is internal.” And then they showed us maps of where the voting had been, with one side beginning with 85, 90% of one party in the West and then in the East 85 or 90% in the other party. And actually these elections were split almost 50-50. Over the following years, sometimes one side would get 50.1%, sometimes the other side, but it was always very close.

What made this particularly dangerous was the Ukrainian constitution which had the President name what we would call the state governors, the provincial chiefs. There was no election at the provincial level the way we Americans have. Obviously, that would not work if the country is very much divided, but that was how the problem started there and they got deeper and deeper and by 2014 the violence was started in the west and primarily by these Neo Nazi groups who first of all started taking over the provincial governors’ offices.

This is why one of the requirements of the Minsk agreements was that Ukraine would adopt a federal constitution that would let these Russian speaking entities elect their own leaders the way citizens of American states elect their governors. If we Americans had had the sort of system Ukraine had, we would have broken up long ago. You need a federal system like Switzerland has, for example, or Belgium, or in Finland where the Swedish minority has full cultural rights. But this is something the current Ukrainian government, those who control it, never conceded and, as I said, that was one of the requirements of the Minsk agreement. Why Germany and France didn’t insist that the Ukrainians abide by it if they were going to get any more aid, I don’t know. The United States should have, too. We approved the agreement, though we were not a signatory.

The current tragedy is that it is bad for everybody. Obviously the people suffering most are the Ukrainians and we also know that a few weeks after the Russian invasion they came very near coming to an agreement but were discouraged by Boris Johnson. They were also, I’m sure, discouraged by the United States.

I thought that the 10 billion Euros the Finns want from EU had to do with NATO.
That was wrong. It is to help with the damage caused by Finns going along with anti RU sanctions.

The Finns joined NATO w/o a referendum.

🇫🇮 Finns don't want to fight Nato wars.

The number of people leaving the Finnish reserve has swelled to thousands.

“Until NATO membership, Finland had an independent, credible defense and I could have gone to the front.

But when we are part of America's military forces, we don't care at all anymore”

—one of the people leaving the reserve explains to MTV


[this seems too high/ Maybe percent of reserves?]

The number of people that have left Finnish army reserves equals 40% of Finnish total military strength. That is huge!

You celebrating or weeping?

I had not seen a concise description of what happened before.
Burning people alive kicked things into high gear.
NAZIs values are not nice. Who knew?
The US coup and resulting civil war will leave Ukr a wasteland.
Taiwan is next.

I found some traditional folk or folkmetal group Percival. The band changes members often.

The guy playing the Baglama or Saz seems to be having fun.
