@MaximumEfficiency : You mean, “True,” then? Ukraine is a democracy and NATO is a defensive alliance. Both are hated by the corrupt, because they’re used to dealing under the table or using brutality when that gravy train stops. I hope to see Hungary, Belarus, Chechnya and many other regions follow Georgia’s example and throw off the Russian jackboot altogether.

@DeReAntiqua : That just seems to be traditional in the Russian armed forces: much discussed in the early months of the war, where even Ruskie state TV was openly suggesting getting people drunk so they’d get on the draft bus with fewer protests and sleep most of the way to their new barracks. Prigozhin is probably in a constant state of fear, coping with vodka and opium. I suspect he will, “disappear,” when the battle for Bakhmut is settled, one way or another . . . Probably fall out of a hospital window.

From what I read, Georgia’s government is divided between those who support the people, like their premier, who released a video backing the street protests unconditionally, to those who have been bought, bribed or blackmailed, who tried to push this, “Foreign Agents Bill,” through. And that’s why the people won’t go home, despite getting what they initially asked for. They know Russia too well. They know that other pernicious laws will be introduced by the same influences, and that it’s too big a risk to leave these people in power while there’s a renewed sense of urgency on both sides. I pray with all my heart that this is a sign of broader weakening of the Russian state apparatus for suppressing populations around the globe? Maybe we’ll see protests in Chechnya next? Syria even? And all the other places Putin pretends he isn’t either propping up or outright stealing? If they keep pouring everything into one failing invasion in Ukraine, it will become near to impossible to keep all of those plates spinning at once. Seize your moment, Georgia. You probably won’t get a better one?
