Putin halts Russian flights to Georgia in wake of anti-Russia protests

See post #20.
Georgia has a territory known as Pankisi Gorge which was a base of Chechen terrorists attacking Russia for many years and it was also a source of tensions between Russia and Georgia.
US military was also active in the area allegedly to defuse tensions but somehow ended up training a Pankisi terrorist known as Al Shishani to later become one of ISIS leaders.
It is a fact which even the Georgian government admitted.

It is unsustainable for Putin to continue making everything an ultimatum between the thugocracy and economic stagnation he offers and pride parades. It doesn’t work anymore. Gotta figure something new out. Good luck!🍀

Listen to yourself.
It has nothing to do with the Georgian situation. You are now pushing the lies in class of Trump-Russia conspiracy.

Now the reality. Starting from June 18.

That is what happened in Georgia FOR REAL and no anti-Russian spin would change it.

And it is not really hard to find out who are stirring the pot in modern age. Radio Free Europe, Voice of America aren’t Russian organizations.

But you know... Putin banned flights! There has to be some conspiracy behind it. We are yet to figure out but hey... It is the Russians! The Georgian government is now coming with absolutely ridiculous explanations for the violence including some Russian guy sat in the wrong chair. I guess some YouTube video is coming.

So Georgians reject pride parades AND Putin. Done deal.

[NorseViking]

I don’t care much what they are rejecting or not but Putin has exactly same connection to the situation as he was to US elections. Or the same connection that filmmaker behind the YouTube video had to Benghazi.

Keep on trying.
