TBILISI -- Georgia's prime minister has said President Salome Zurabishvili must leave office at the end of her term later this month, despite her pledge not to.

Irakli Kobakhidze's comments on December 1 set up a showdown with Zurabishvili, a day after she called the newly elected parliament illegitimate and vowed to remain as president. Demonstrations in the capital, Tbilisi, have turned increasingly chaotic and violent.

Georgia has plunged deeper into a political crisis that started in late October, when the ruling Georgian Dream party claimed victory in parliamentary elections. The opposition said the vote was marked by fraud. Western countries have called for an investigation.

Thousands of demonstrators returned to the streets of Tbilisi on November 30 for a third night to protest against the government's decision to suspend accession talks with the European Union.

The CIA has been incredibly busy with their nefarious activities of late. I guess they figure if Z can just stay in office after his term expires, why not this new Georgian quisling?

Get a load of this BS from DC. Sounds like J6 to me.

"The United States condemns the excessive use of force by police against Georgians seeking to exercise their rights to assembly and expression, including their freedom to peacefully protest," Matthew Miller said in a statement.

I highly recommend that Georgia remind the creeps in Washington of their actions on January 6. Short and to the point” It is odd and insulting to be lectured by an undemocratic administration that has over 500 citizens in prison over a protest.”

Ours or theirs? :)

Western countries have called for an investigation.

FAFO.

When one reads "Samantha Power," think "Obama crony." Then much is clarified.

"On October 27th, as the outcome of the Georgia election surfaced in stunning clarity, we warned that the U.S. would fight strongly against the result {GO DEEP}. Yesterday, unquestionably with the support of Samantha Power – who had vested significant time in the nation, a series of riots against the government surfaced. The pragmatic and non-pretending people of Georgia saw what the U.S and EU did to Ukraine, and they want nothing to do with it. Georgians overwhelmingly voted to retain their sovereignty and right to self-determination. The Biden administration and the EU are furious about it, and immediately the U.S. State Department promised to organize every effort in their interventionist arsenal to challenge the election outcome."

"Georgia's parliament set Dec. 14 as the date for selecting a new president, as lawmakers continue to meet despite an opposition boycott over the results of last month's elections."

Trump may have won, but the globalists who control the Democratic Party and the EU are not yet defeated. They will attack nationalism wherever and whenever they can. The American nation is their prime target. They will fight agressively all attempts to secure the border and deport illegals.

Samantha Power, the US State Department, and the CIA have to do Ukraine 2014 in reverse. I assume there's a playbook for that too.

It also looks like a State Dept. rep wrote the Wikipedia entry for the Georgian election:

She’s born and raised in France. She was in French government and was a French diplomat. She’s in the pocket of the EU and CIA.

I see, and meanwhile Putin has been doing nothing at all nefarious in Georgia of late. ROFWL Boy do I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

“The opposition said the vote was marked by fraud. Western countries have called for an investigation.”

Did the Western countries send in Election Observers. NO! Then how can they claim to know there was ‘fraud’? Other countries did send in Observer, some aligned with Russia, some NEUTRAL. All said that the election was clean.

Sounds to me like more crap coming out of DC. Thankfully, Georgia only has to hold out for less than 2 months to have their freedom of association restored.
