The US has imposed sanctions on Georgia's former prime minister and billionaire founder of the Georgian Dream party, Bidzina Ivanishvili.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Ivanishvili and his party had "derailed Georgia's Euro-Atlantic future", leaving it vulnerable to Russia.

I thought it was Kirby Smart.

He has restored the dream of national championships to the Peach State.

I’d love to see a foreign country sanction some of our rotten government officials.

“Blinken said Ivanishvili and his party had “derailed Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic future””

So that’s now the criteria? Did we ever ‘sanction’ Soviet leaders, or Chinese leaders - who did far worse than just preventing their countries from becoming US vassals?

One of Biden’s last acts to advance globalist/EU interests. How dare the people of Georgia elect leaders that are not subservient to the EU.

The so called “election” in Georgia was grotesquely rigged. On a historic scale. There is ample of proof attesting to that. The Russian deep state sabotaged the whole thing. It was a scam. Trump had to endure a rigged election too once...

Oh, Frenchie, does the political situation in Georgia cause you deep emotional damage? How’s your country’s influence in Africa holding up these days?

They’re REALLY PISSED. Like Ukraine, their Georgian ‘project’ goes back DECADES. Unfortunately for them (the Neocons), Georgia learned the games that they play and has handled this attempted coup PERFECTLY.

Now that the Neocons are resorting to ‘sanctions’, that’s an indication that they’ve pretty much given up on taking control of Georgia.

...but, sadly for the victims, there will be more Neocon ‘Projects’ around the corner, unless Tulsi and Trump can FINALLY put an end to it.

Forty-eight hours before Romanians were due to vote in a presidential election run-off, the whole process was scrapped because of an unprecedented ruling by the constitutional court.

The court’s decision to annul the first round came after a far-right independent candidate, Calin Georgescu, came out of almost nowhere to lead the first round two weeks ago amid allegations of Russian interference.

Georgescu has condemned the ruling as a coup and Romania may have to wait months to vote again.

They forgot the rules (Rules Based Order).

Trump was told he had to prove in US courts the election was stolen so Zourabichvili has to do the same and prove in Georgian courts the elections were rigged, right?

She has not done this, so she has to step down, right?

But she has said she’s not going to do that.

So the west has to say the protests in Georgia are astroturf (like they say about others they don’t like) and that it’s an “insurrection”?

Did I cover everything for “Rules Based Order”?

Romania’s Crisis Deepens as Key Party Quits Coalition Talks

(Bloomberg) — Romania’s political crisis deepened after the largest pro-European party abruptly withdrew from negotiations to form a coalition, opening the prospect of a weaker government to tackle the European Union’s widest budget deficit. The country’s stocks plunged.

Didn’t the Neocons have Romania’s election a few weeks ago thrown out because the people there didn’t vote for the required political party?

“How’s your country’s influence in Africa holding up these days?”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Are presume you are talking about France?

Well, France is doing great, now that Russia in Africa crumbles! France is back!

France’s New African Ally : NIGERIA! (MUCH better than Niger, and a fantastic strategic location.
Great coastline for French naval forces and bases, and much more:

https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/12/11/frances-new-african-ally/#:~:text=French%20President%20Emmanuel%20Macron%20welcomed%20Nigerian%20President%20Bola,out%20by%20several%20of%20its%20junta-led%20former%20

The French era in Africa has been reset for the better. It got way more than it bargained for.

ALSO:
Two African nations supposedly allied with Vladimir Putin have refused to allow Russian troops to station on their territory, further complicating the Russian president’s geopolitical standing after losing a key ally in Syria with Bashar al-Assad’s ousting.

Sudan has officially rejected the construction of a naval base on the Red Sea coast in the city of Port Sudan. This was reported by the Moscow Times on December 18, citing a source within Sudanese intelligence.

Russia had reportedly offered S-400 anti-aircraft systems to sway the decision in its favor, but Sudan declined, fearing potential Western sanctions.

Following this setback, Russia turned its attention to Libya, but the Libyan authorities also shut the door on the proposal.

“No patriotic person accepts the entry of a foreign country and imposing its hegemony, and we will not accept the entry of any foreign force except through official agreements and for the purpose of training. Any party that enters Libya without permission or agreement will be fought, and we cannot accept Libya being an international battlefield,” said Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh during a conference in Tripoli.”

yup. events in these 2 countries both tie back to interference from the US in their alleged democracy. Then when things don’t happen the way their people foresaw before they allowed such a bold choice such as an election, when that doesn’t work they try to annul the results.

“Then when things don’t happen the way their people foresaw before they allowed such a bold choice such as an election, when that doesn’t work they try to annul the results.”

Likewise in Ukraine right now where Zelensky would get DESTROYED in an election, so the Neocons told him to cancel the required election earlier this year. But that then opens the door for Putin to state that the Zelensky government is not a legitimate government for Ukraine, and with that, they are signaling to Trump to not even bother trying to work with Zelensky...which almost certainly was the way Trump viewed him anyway.

In the end, the ADULTS involved in this conflict, Trump and Putin, will likely work out how to end it, once and for all.

Yeah. It’s almost as if you can trace which countries are interfering by observing the technique and buzz words employed in the cause.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You are spreading Fake News. It’s so easy to do that.

Here is the truth:
President Volodymyr Zelensky continues to command the trust of nearly six in ten Ukrainians, with support remaining stable in recent months, a poll released by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) found.

According to the survey results released on Oct. 14, 59 per cent of Ukrainians polled hold “trust” in Zelensky while 37 per cent distrust the president. Another 3 per cent of poll respondents were unsure.
