Fresh from attempting to foment a color revolution in Hungary, Samantha Power has Georgia on her mind. This is nothing new. Back in 2003 the US backed the “Rose Revolution” in Georgia that installed an anti-Russian government in Tbilisi. This was part of the long term Neocon strategy of
When spontaneous demonstrations not as violent as those in Georgia occur in the US, we call it an "insurrection". When foreign powers gin up violent demonstrations against a popularly elected government in Georgia, what is that?
Watching (what I can bear) of the weaponization hearings and the complete contempt and derision spewing from the Dems Plaskett and good ol’ DWS, it strikes me as grotesque that we should be promoting, again on Russia’s doorstep, freedom and “democracy” and “other aspirations” - when we’re sliding down the slippery slope to fascism - First Amendment be d—mned. “When will they ever learn?”
Satanic Samantha, Vicious Victoria, two of many demonic destroyers from the Empire of Lies. One day, likely quite soon, the Empire will be shown what it cannot continue to do to sovereign nations, interference with impunity will end.
Not such a bad thing really, at least not for US citizens. A lot more folks are seeing & understanding how this works now - and how they brought the game plan they thought they'd perfected back home to us. Don't think it works as well when nobody is surprised by it any longer.
When the Lord returns to live with us. Until then, the other kingdom, led by the prince of this world, the father of lies, will continue to wreak havoc. When we truly live our lives - now - for Him, with Him, under Him, in Him, and under His authority as His ambassadors, then we see the retreat of His enemy. Through Christ, and Christ alone.
"Georgia’s proposed foreign agent laws gravely threaten Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic future and the ability of Georgians to fulfill their own economic, social, and other aspirations. I call upon the Georgian Parliament to drop these proposed laws."
I read this statement and my only thought was Holy Sh*t! Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Really enjoyed the piece. Excellent observation about creating space for a willing resolution. I, too, try to do that daily, but in a corporate, finance and M&A practice. By gaming out, point by point, all of the "must-haves," "nice-to-haves" and "tradeables" in advance with my clients, we ultimately get to where we need to be, no matter how hardheaded or arrogant the opposition.
The problem with our current crop at State, DoD and the think tanks is that none of them have spent a day of their career problem solving in the private sector. They go from parroting their professors' theories of everything from posh undergrads to grad schools and then, as credentialed "experts," furthering the policy lines at those institutions to which those professors have recommended them. Thus, no skills or understanding in addressing real-world scenarios. That's why Putin runs circles around them and drives them nuts. Would be funny if not for the risk of getting us all killed.
Also saw your piece on "Dictators and Democracy," and I think your premise there about our once being honest about our allegiances and client states perfectly illustrates the problem we face now. Yes, we cozied up to some bad hombres back then, but did so unabashedly where it genuinely served AMERICAN interests (even if those interests were largely those of big US business). Now, we're dealing with absolute true believers in some post-End of History global construct where, somehow, the rough edges of national interest and human nature can be washed away. Somehow, through their zealotry (and funding from nefarious sources), the freaks now dictate to the normal, productive population. I still believe that one of the many looming crises will break this cultish monolith in the near future.
Hat tip on Kirkpatrick--she was on the faculty in my major in undergrad--really admired her, but her classes were grad level. Very nice, lady though.
I would suggest the Cold Warriors are irrelevant. Putin can deal with them quite nicely, and they lose militarily and economically. We the citizens are indifferent, as we have no stake in this other than what our guv'mint can extort from us. We win, because we are on to the game being played, and will defend our own personal interests as best we can. Were there public support there could be potentially disastrous consequences for the entire world.
We need to make distinctions here. These are not Cold Warriors. The Cold War was basically a standoff. The are people who came to the fore after the Cold War ended and advanced the argument--pushed by globalists like George Soros--that now was the time to force Russia into submission to the global Open Society. These are global Hot Warriors. They have instigated wars all over the globe, but have hid that fact from most Americans, who pay little attention to what's going on in far off lands--which, for American purposes, means ALL lands except, kinda, Canada and Mexico.
Amen to that! The Americans and Europeans already working in Moscow in the early '90s were, by and large, professionals in law and business, who had studied Russia, appreciated its culture and saw opportunity in the so-called "peace dividend." The NGO/academic crowd descended like locusts from around '94 on and flooded the space. Entirely a different breed.

Lavrov: The events in Georgia are "orchestrated" from the outside, they are pushed by the desire to create an irritant at the borders of Russia

I guess we can expect more of this type of activity and meddling all around since nothing else is working for them.

When will the world be free of this satanic Empire of Unholiness?

Absolutely agree.

Exactly.
