Holy shit; I thought at first that this was about the US state
And nothing about that seemed all that out of place 😕
Seems like their actual name is translated as Sakartvelo, we should use that. And when the state of Georgia is in a headline it should be “The US state of Georgia.”
I would not be at all surprised if GA tried to ban Democrats in general. And SCROTUS would sit on their butts until after the election to take it up
It’s also within reason for a southern state to pull shit like this.
Why bother with opposition parties when your country is a Russian vassal state?
I always thought of Georgia as a country that hates Russia, given the whole Abkhazia and South Ossetia thing
That was then, this is now. Russia doesn’t control it yet, but this is the step to that.
China will never rule Taiwan, they’re not gonna start a war with all their trading partners over an island. It’s a nationalist rallying cry, nothing more.
China plans to conquer Taiwan from the inside via clandestine elected officials who will pass laws to lower the walls for China to politically “invade”
Unfortunately from the last elections (the pro Beijing KMT party sneakily taking majority), it’s already working…before the citizens realize it, Taiwan will share the some authoritarian shithole regime appointed by the CCP and any talk that is not about the glory of China or unification will be a “separatist” 'national security threat"
Remember Hong Kong
You’ve got it reversed, the u.s. isn’t going to war with a super power over a country most people can’t point to on a map. It’s even a question how far sanctions would go if they invaded, if you look at the Russian example the sanctions are pretty half ass and Russian petroleum is still flowing to the west, maybe less but they’re still taking in money and there economy is doing way better then before the invasion. For all the talk westerners aren’t willing to go cold in the winter or pay more at the pump for Ukraine.
That’s for a country with a way smaller role in the global supply chain, fuck dying for Taiwan the real question is whether Americans could give up their cheap consumerist bullshit for Taiwan. China knows this too, it’s just whether they want to act on it and make themselves a pariah state.
I honestly couldn’t tell at first if this was about the country called Georgia or the American state called Georgia. It could honestly apply to both.
I hope the people of the nation of Georgia are able to overcome Putlers influence.
Thanks to laws passed by Trump allies in the state Legislature, Raffensperger has been removed from the election board. Other members were removed as well, eventually handing control of the board to a three-member MAGA majority that is dedicated not to free and fair elections but to elections that Trump can win. Trump himself, at a recent rally in Georgia, celebrated those three members, by name, as his “pitbulls” for victory.
Y’know, I’m pretty sure it’s a big red flag if anyone or anything is “going North Korea”.
I don’t think that I’d call this “North Korea”. China isn’t even North Korea, and China’s a one party state that outright prohibits parties from existing that oppose the ruling party.
There’s a spectrum of political repression, and North Korea is pretty far down it.
I take your point, but I wouldn’t categorise NK as being pretty far down the road in terms of political repression.
Try and oppose the Kim’s and see how long you continue breathing.
looks confused
I wasn’t saying that North Korea is less politically-repressive than China.
I hate this, always wanted to visit Georgia, seems like a gorgeous country.
