Fascinating study of Georgian Dream voter motivation. If opposition wants to win it must have sensible answer about a) maintaining peace w Russia and b) get serious about unity. All plainly apparent before last election but good to see it spelled out tabula.ge/ge/news/7327...

When Bidzina tore up decades of foreign policy work and turned Georgia towards Russia I was shocked more diplomats—people whose life’s work was ruined—didn’t resign. Now Trump has done the same thing and the State Department is falling into line just like in Georgia

I would like to make it clear that while I support moving Christmas to Dec 25th, that comes with the important proviso that January 7th remain a public holiday as "Old Christmas", just like we have Old New Year on Jan 14. This is fitting and what the baby Jesus would have wanted

Bitter irony that the men driving Georgia towards becoming an authoritarian, theocratic nightmare are themselves liberals. Prime example: minigarch Irakli Rukhadze, owner of H̵u̵t̵u̵ ̵P̵o̵w̵e̵r̵ ̵R̵a̵d̵i̵o̵ TV Imedi, a Goebbelsian figure at the heart of the regime. 1/n
