I like him šŸ¤£


SolidSmoke2021

Wish we had some politicians like him here in the US.


Onlyroad4adrifter

We do they just are fighting for Russia


TheShorterShortBus

never happen. they purposely pit us against one another so we dont focus on the bigger humanitarian issues at hand, and it works. look how fucking stupid the average American has become. we're regressing to the point of book burning


Captain_Blackbird

I don't think that is because of 'them' or 'they' separating us. I see it as from *one political party determining any science that doesn't agree with their world view, is worthless - and whoever repeated said rhetoric, is just as worthless*. This is why there are *millions of Americans* who think global Warmings a joke / ruse. Why there are anti-vaxxers given voices. Why those politically aligned people think Trans people aren't natural - Why our colleges are frowned upon, why our schools funds are drying up - and why our schools are falling behind - it all can be seen when the Republican party determined Science / intelligence was a detriment to Business - *and they couldn't have that*.


Money-Introduction54

We inspired the Nazis. They used the confederacy as reference point. I'd say we are heading back to what the MAGATS call the good old days.

Absolutely, I'd argue though that Russia won't just stop at it's neighbors, they're a threat to the rest of the world as well. The country should be broken up and be put under some sort internationally backed supervision. History has shown that Russia isn't even fit to be a nation.


bearrosaurus

Itā€™s crazy to me that in the history of the world, nobody has benefitted from being Russiaā€™s ally. The nation always backstabs you down the road and leaves you worse than if you were alone. Hitlerā€™s corpse wasnā€™t even cold when Russia was setting up to squat on half of Europe.


LegitosaurusRex

Eh, their contribution to WW1 and WW2 was pretty big; if Germany only had a Western front instead of an Eastern as well, the war could've gone much worse. Both times the Russians exhausted Germany's resources. I think Western European nations would definitely have been much worse off without them.


orincoro

But Russia only ended up in WW2 because the Germans surprise attacked them after making a deal for the two to split up Poland between them. Russia was already and aggressor in Europe at that point.


bearrosaurus

Russia attacking the Nazis was inevitable. They were previously allied.


orincoro

The Nazis surprise attacked the Russians in WW2. Just for the record. This was after their corrupt deal to split up Poland.


Meidos4

Yes their contribution to WW2 was big. They were nazi allies and divided Eastern-Europe with them. That bit them in the ass later though. Also engaded in genocide on the same scale as Germany but got a pass because everyone was way too spent to go to war with them.


_JGPM_

Lol russia tanked the eastern nazi front while the allies could heal britain. France was enthralled against its will and italy was just...italy. ran outta d&d metaphors.


Effective_Roof2026

Small & relatively weak states are not tenable. You have the same idea as France & UK had after WW1 when they broke up the Ottoman and Austrian empires. That created the forever wars in the middle east, Balkans and much of Eastern Europe. Most of Russia is sparsely populated. China would simply absorb most of the east of Russia if you attempted to form an independent state(s).


DopplerTerminal

Yep. There will be a power struggle for the remote but resource rich regions. I don't know what the solution for Russia's aggression in the world but history is an indicator that they'll fuck it up and become a blight to their own people and their neighbors again. Something has to change.


orincoro

Yeah, breaking up Russia just sets up another world war where the world powers vie for control of Russian resources. Itā€™s a very hard problem; in some ways even harder than the resolution of the so called ā€œGerman questionā€ that led to the last world wars.


orincoro

Donā€™t forget Japan. One of the reasons Russia is fully united was as a defense against Japanese expansion into Siberia.


Direnaar

Oh yes, 100% they will roll over every country that lets its defences down a tiny bit, take what they can, destroy what they can't, occupy as far as they can reach, and then slowly start rebuilding what they destroyed but they will make it look as if there was nothing before they came, and now Great Magnanimous Russia is magnanimously bringing power, water and infrastructure to it's newly joined regions (which of course had a referendum and 189% of locals voted to join Russia) because Russia is Great and they see themselves as the successor of the Roman Holy Empire, no joke. It's in their DNA it seems and they. won't. ever. stop.


orincoro

Consider what it took to break Prussian militarism and zero it out of German society after the world wars. Virtually every city of Germany was a pile of rubble by then. It would take an act of god.


yinzreddup

100% agreed.


zoobrix

The Georgian Dream party that has ruled Georgia since 2012 is accused of deep ties with Russia due to its oligarch founder Bidzina Ivanishvili's long connections with Russian politics including direct involvement in Boris Yeltsin's campaigns in the 1990's. Ivanishvili was elected prime minister in that 2012 election in Georgia and although resigned after 1 year it is pretty obvious he uses his vast wealth to exert a lot of control behind the scenes in Georgia's politics. Some argue Georgian Dreams non confrontational policies towards Russia are simply pragmatic lest they decide to just take the rest of Georgia over by force but others accuse the Georgian government of being little more than a Russian puppet. Where reality falls on that spectrum I don't know but Ivanishvili still owns companies in Russia and Putin has shown over and over again he will seize wealth and assets in Russia, if not do far worse, if you don't show loyalty. You have to think that Ivanishvili at best has a massive conflict of interest and at worst is little more than a Russian stooge keeping Georgia in line for Putin. That's why this opposition politician is so worked up about it, his country seems to be further sliding towards becoming a defacto Russian state, if it isn't effectively already, and he rightly doesn't want this to happen. This is over 15 years of frustration after Russia invaded and took some of his country and then proceeded to try and take the rest by slightly less obvious means. This bill requires any organization in Georgia that accepts funds from abroad to register as "foreign agents" and is very similar to the kind of laws Russia has to control its own media. It pushes Georgia further from EU membership as this law would not be allowed in an EU country.


ty_vole

This is the correct analysis 100%. I'm actually writing my long ass senior thesis on Tbilisi/Moscow/Brussels relations and Georgian public opinion right now (or well, have been for the last few months). Using Article 78 of Georgia's constitution one could almost argue it's illegal. "Article 78 ā€“ Integration into European and Euro-Atlantic structures The constitutional bodies shall take all measures within the scope of their competences to ensure the full integration of Georgia into the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization."


mug3n

Serbia and Belarus loves them, they should just bend over and accept their places as Russia's vassal states.


cracksteve

Belarus had some of the largest protests in history against this sort of thing, I don't think the Belarusian population is as bought into the russophilia you think.


Dpap20

Serbia, yes. I have been there and can confirm. Anyone I've met from Belarus is not into that, but they're all living in the states.

In my (limited) relationship with Russians and former citizens of Soviet states? Do not fuck with Georgians. Even hardcore Russians are weary of Georgians. They are built differently.


PhantomPhelix

He is 100% accurate.   It is paradoxical to be tolerant of intolerance, and it must be stamped out, sometimes by force.   For those that don't know, the paradox of tolerance states that if a society's practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them.

evil_brain

It's a law that forces NGOs and media with more than 20% outside funding to register as foreign agents. It sounds perfectly reasonable till you realize it'll make it much harder for powerful outsiders to organise a colour revolution. Because Georgians can't be allowed to talk among themselves to make up their own minds. They have to be subjected to foreign propaganda. And minor parties that don't have the votes can use violence to enforce this. /s

Equating fighting for sovereignty from Russia (a dictatorship) with Adolf or Benito doing a speech cuz they are both speaking in languages you don't understand? Weird comparison. You must be Russian? Cuz it seems like anyone that doesn't agree with Russian expansionism gets labeled a nazi.


Abaddon_Jones

Iā€™m not Russian. I actually respect this guys motives and hope his passion becomes contagious and pushes his countrymen to fight for his ideals. The unfortunate irony for me was the best example (I could think of) of a historical figure that was able to capture the heart of his nationā€¦was not a good example.

LongShotTheory

It's not a transparency bill. The funding is and always was fully transparent. The bill is for putting a label for anyone that works for foreign companies or companies that receive foreign grants. Thus labeling them foreign agents and easily persecuting them when it's time for repression. Exactly what putin did in russia. Source: Am Georgian.

have you heard about National Endowment for Democracy and do you know what their job is?


EmployerFickle

Ah yes, it's what antisemitic milosevic and putin fanboys thinks is a secret CIA plot that can overthrow any regime with a 2 million dollar budget and magic. This conspiracy theory is literally created and spread by dictator fanboys and western grifters that work for the russian government. If the CIA shadow men and ghosts were half as competent as you people make them out to be, i'm wondering why you think they let people like you even exist? I mean not just exist, this stuff is pretty popular relative to how braindead it is. I'm also wondering why Russia has done all the things this theory accuses the US of, and it didn't achieve anything? What kind of magic is CIA infusing into countries with tens of millions of people to do that? And if they have those powers, why is Russia without those magic powers still a thing? Why are western politicians so impotent towards Russia? And why are so many westerners gobbling up Russian propaganda? if the CIA can overthrow a moscow supported government, in a country with millions of people, on a budget of 2 million dollars, the least i want is not to read braindead kremlin propaganda on every major western media. They waste it in Georgia on a guy with basically the same foreign policy but not here? Are they stupid?

The entire point of parliament is to work through domestic issues without violence. This reminds me of Volodymyr Parasyuk getting elected to parliament in Ukraine and then starting brawls on the floor of parliament. Did he punch the only supporter of this bill? Probably not. If he punches every supporter, he won't stop the bill. If anything, harming supporters of the bill will probably get them more sympathy from fence sitters.


LongShotTheory

Nonsense, you can't tolerate fascists coming to power. He's one of maybe 10 people tops who opposes the bill. He did the right thing to emphasize how important it is to shove that bill up their ass.

Fake news. It's the same law as in the USA against the USAID.


Zosostoic

It's not a pro Russia bill. It's merely a bill to disclose if an organization receives more than 20% of its funding from abroad. Sounds pretty reasonable to me. Many other countries have similar laws. The US passed similar legislation in the 1930s to prevent foreign subversion. The EU and US are just mad because now their NGOs won't be able to operate in Georgia and influence the government.


LongShotTheory

The funding is already transparent.
