    Oh hey, I was going to make a thread about Georgia, because nobody seemed to talk about it.

    So it looks like Georgia is headed for another colour revolution. Didn’t even need a new playbook. Everything is happening exactly as it did last time, and exactly as it did in Ukraine. So I guess we can expect a new front opening against Russia soon.

    Paging comrades @yogthos@lemmygrad.ml and @Ancient_Might_5820@lemmygrad.ml. Pretty sure we’ve spoken about something like this happening. Looks like the Hegemon still has teeth enough to cause chaos.

      r/Europe is loving it so it almost has to be an operation. “Putin Putin Putin Russia Putin” is pretty much the gist of what they are saying.

        Have you seen the flags at the protests? I’d eat my hat if it wasn’t an operation.

      Screwing around in Georgia would be a historic mistake for the NATO. Supplies from the EU will never reach them (not that they have much left anyway) and Turkey and Isn’treal do not hate Russia enough to truly intervene, Georgian military is a joke. The Georgian military is so lame and unmodernized that their “foreign legion” mercenaries could probably beat the shit out of them, and the “foreign legion” is having a pretty tough time in Ukraine already. NATO’s best bet would be to have Georgia as a hostile threat to Russia, but not a real belligerent.

        The goal isn’t for them to defeat the Russian army. The goal is to create chaos. If they, for example, start shelling Abkhazia then the Russian military would have to respond, thus either starting another mobilization or drawing resources away from Ukraine. Sure the Georgian military might get rekt, but that doesn’t matter to the beneficiaries of the war - they are far away and making a bank.

        Plus it would likely help to further dissent within Russia, especially among the younger generations.

        Also, while Turkey and Israel may not directly intervene, I would still expect them to be selling arms. Never let a good crisis go to waste if you can make a buck
