Not our business
I hope that The Russia puts down the color revolution in Georgia with extreme prejudice.
One aspect of the US law versus the Georgian law that he conveniently omits is that the US law is backed up by the threat of jail time (5 years, plus $250,000 for violating), but the Georgian law only has a small fine for not reporting, with the fine being $9500, a value easily payable by Western entities.
Seems pretty easy for the entities to comply with the law, unless they HIDING SOMETHING. Something like (and I’m making this up) calling themselves the “Georgian’s for Democracy Party”, but end up getting 95% of their funding from the EU. Seems that the people who may want to vote for that party should know who they likely answer to. Same for non-political entities - some NGO goes into your school for a week of geography instruction and all the kids there instantly come out as gay and anti-Russian - wouldn’t be good to know it was a UK-funded NGO, so as to prevent this from happening (again, just hypotheticals).
Georgia has none of those laws, which is why it’s such a mess. With the new law, the people there will know if they’re getting played.
