West will continue to promote chaos in Georgian internal political scenario until it gets its objective of heading the country to war.

The current crisis in Georgia has been news on media outlets around the world. However, few analysts have paid attention to the real reason why so much instability is being fomented in the country. Indeed, Tbilisi seems to be the new focus for western warmongers. NATO plans to bring Georgia into a conflict with Russia. This will allow the West to open a new flank and distract Moscow by forcing it to send troops to yet another battlefield.
While the wave of violent protests has decreased its strength the crisis in Georgia appears far from over. Destabilizing forces are boosting the social and institutional chaos in order for the government to make decisions in favor of foreign interests. This is becoming increasingly clear as domestic players are formally calling on Western countries to impose sanctions on Georgia to advance pro-NATO and anti-Russian agendas.
In April, former Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili formally requested that the Collective West sanction his own country. According to Saakashvili, currently imprisoned on serious charges of abuse of power and other crimes, with Western coercive measures, Georgia would be forced to release him and thus increase civil and political freedoms. On the occasion, he emphasized that the US and Europe would be the global defenders of democracy, decency and justice, and should therefore react to the supposedly “pro-Russian” tendencies of the current Georgian government – which he accuses of complying with “orders” from Moscow.
The case is particularly curious as it echoes the current Georgian domestic political situation. The opposition to the government uses as its main rhetoric a supposed connection of the Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili with Russia. No evidence of his alleged connection with Moscow is presented, other than his resistance to being actively involved in the Ukrainian conflict – in addition to his wise attitude to avoid fomenting new security crises in the separatist regions on the border with Russia.
When anti-government protests began in March, the signs of foreign interference to promote anti-Russian policies were already obvious. In the streets of Tbilisi, protesters held Ukrainian flags and sang the Ukrainian national anthem, as well as war songs of the neo-Nazi regime. President Vladimir Zelensky himself went public to thank the protesters for their support and said that “there is no Ukrainian who would not want the success of our friendly Georgia”, in addition to calling the demonstrations a “democratic success. European success”.
It is important to remember that at the height of the protests, these pro-instability actions were supported by the country’s own president, the native Frenchwoman Salome Zurabishvili, who expressed strong opposition to the government and parliament for the approval of a law against foreign espionage. Being a foreign agent on Georgian soil herself, Zurabishvili echoed Western rhetoric that demanding special registration for NGOs funded by international groups would be a kind of abusive or dictatorial attitude.
In fact, these attitudes on the part of the opposition to the current Prime Minister are not by chance – these moves indicate a coordinated action to pressure Georgia to act incisively in favor of Western interests. Zurabishvili, before becoming the country’s president, had served as foreign minister, standing out for her extremely pro-NATO work. In the same vein, former President Saakashvili, who is now demanding Western sanctions to pressure the government to release him, was recognizably a US-backed head of state, largely responsible for provocations against pro-Russian border regions during the 2008 conflict. He also gained asylum in post-Maidan Ukraine, even being governor of Odessa during the Poroshenko era.
The fact that politicians like Zurabishvili and Saakashvili are acting incisively to foment polarization and protests within Georgia, in addition to sanctions and external pressure at the international level, shows that there is indeed a Western plan for Tbilisi to take an openly anti-Russian position in the current NATO’s proxy war with Moscow. This scenario reflects the current strategy of the Atlantic alliance, which seems focused on the multiplication of battlefields. The more conflict zones, the better for the Western powers, which want to harm Russia as much as possible, causing it to lose troops and weapons.
Many analysts believe that the West is currently about to “admit” its failure in Ukraine, which is why, in order to safeguard its global hegemony, NATO’s new focus would be to fight against China, which is seen by the US as a weaker adversary and against which there are more chances of victory in direct military confrontation. But for a war against China to be viable, it would be necessary to prevent Moscow from helping Beijing on the battlefield, which would explain the attempt to distract the Russians with multiple conflicts in the Eurasian space.
In this military context, forcing Georgia to assume a fully pro-NATO and anti-Russian foreign policy would be a great victory for the West. As long as the Georgian government continues to avoid involvement in the conflict, international pressure and the foment of internal color revolution will remain. Certainly, chaos in the country will continue to be stimulated by foreign agents until the government agrees to send troops to provoke the Russians in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, opening a new front in NATO’s war of aggression.
Russia will have to go to war with the US directly to stop this US trend of creating conflict.
I was just thinking, at what point does Russia decide that cutting off the arms of the octopus is pointless and go for the head? It seems the psychos in Washington are hell bent on provoking the nuclear war Kennedy denied them.
Good point. All these proxy wars are just skirmishes. How can Russia address the larger conflict?
You are a moron. USA is using EU and they are pushing Georgia. They wanted to make a case in order to the Collective West to attack Russia. The Masters of the Universe are so clever, they control everything in the West.
Put some missiles in Mexico, the Narco gangs might go for it. Imagine the bribe money they could extort from the idiots in Congress
Ifv Georgia gets out of line again Russia must destroy it and any foreign filth causing trouble.
2008 was already a proxy war. Does it work again? Probably yes and then a third time.
European values are not the neoliberal values but the real chivalric values plus the foundations of Judeo-Christianity. Zelensky and Saakashvili are just neoliberal pawns. States like Georgia are between three powers like Russia, Turkey and Iran. For them to survive it is needed to be united with their adjacent Caucasian nations, just like Ukraine needs to be part of the Intermarium.
An Intermarium that is under US control is nothing but a us pawn.
Call it Intermarium, Visegrad or Rzeczpospolita (had to look up how this was written if it is wrong blame wikipedia) this should have happened after the end of the washaw pact and outside of any eu or nato boundries. A true sovereign alliance of eastern european people not aligned with the us nor with russia or china or anyone.
The USA just uses all this patriot ideas from the past today to push countries into wars against their enemys or to push them to join their club so it is worthless how you call the club of us servants today it stays the same.
Intermarium after all the countries leave nato with ukraine without donbas and crimea who should be its own country and not part of russia just like belarus. At this point and after what the military of both kiev and moskow did in donbas i do not think anyone of them deserves to rule over the people of donbas.
Not under US control
No problem. Georgia has always been willing to try to save the 6 mio.
What’s going to end up happening if this continues is that Moscow will have no other choice but to rebuild the old Russian Empire/USSR just for its own national security. That’s how the Russian Empire was built in the first place. That’s how it will be again. So the best thing Georgia or Moldova or any other former Soviet Republic can do if they want to remain sovereign and independent is not let the West/NATO use their nations as a launching point for military aggression against Russia.
Gruzínsko už vie čo to obnáša, tak radšej nebude riskovať. Mohlo by sa stať, že by prišlo o ďalšie územia.
Oh great idea, just look at what it’s done for Ukraine? I doubt the Georgians are stupid enough to swallow that swill.
nuland has been to georgia recently. then she went to sudan .
Russia should involve Belgium in it’s proxy war against Washington led Nato.
The Jewish led west is proxy shopping for non Aryans to die against Russia and China.
Slavs, Filipinos, Georgians, anyone stupid enough to sign up for their agenda.
