#Georgia #Russia #EU
Did you notice how the pro Europe protesters are young? The pro-Russian protesters were old farts.
Like in all countries, the elderly love racism, sectarianism and evil strongman/authoritarians/dictators/kings...
Who are toxic kind of neighbor and friends. They are just victims of disinformations that putin loves to do... deceive and infect mind.
isnt that like across the Europe anyway?
Sorry Soviet sods poison our lives in Russia by voting Putin into office too. I mean, they voted for him with almost no rigging in 2000 and 2004. Then Bolotnaya happened and Pootin usurped power for good. I’ve been adult since 2013 and never seen my candidate in office even on municipality level.
Exactly, like everywhere. Natural selection is on the side of freedom in just a few decades, they are all dead. Even without war. That's the good part.
How many times do we have to teach anti-eu protesters before they learn? European flags are resistant to fire due to regulations.
And European democratic values are twice resistant!
Lol
How many times do we have to teach pro-eu protesters before they learn: we (majority) from western europe do not want these members!
They'll start falling apart about five years from now. Nearing their use-by date

They can join EU. Just don't discrimate against the Russian speakers in your country and dont point NATO rockets at russia from your borders... Or can you not join EU without NATO?
@Leon Poel nobody discriminated against Russian speakers. Saying this as a Russian speaker myself. The biggest danger to the Russian language, is Russia itself. I have seen people that didn't even speak Ukrainian before, starting to learn the language and rather struggle in this language than to speak Russian again. Having your language not as a state language does not mean you're being discriminated against. Their current president is a Russian speaker.
About the rockets pointing. Okay.. so when does Kaliningrad get demilitarised? When does Russia move it's rockets away from the border? Or is Russia allowed to do it and the rest isn't? Hypocrite.
Georgia for the EU. Georgia for peace and justice!!

Germans don't know who their fathers are anymore
Germany used to block Georgia's entry to EU and Nato.......🤣🤣
Well, given how badly Germany screwed over Georgia and Ukraine in 2008 and disregarded Warsaw's frequent warning thereafter, that's not reassuring. Putting one's faith in Germany is ruinous.
There's a core group of Nato and European states that are reliable allies: Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Czechia, Romania, UK, Finland, and US. Many others waffle or cower from the sidelines. Germany has been dragged kicking and screaming, only doing the right thing after each poor decision blows up in its face.
On the other side, many Germans especially from the East are willing to leave the EU and join the academy of dicators among Rocket man and Pootin.
Thank you, with mutual respect to you, to your country...

Better mind your country
What is democracy? If you do allow foreign interferences in your country then you have no sovereignty. Democracy cannot happen if you do not have sovereignty. Just look at Ukraine that is not a democracy because its decisions and fate are determined by others. Example US would not allow for peace talks. Free Speech? Free Julian Assange and stop blocking any reporter that does not tow the created narrative.

Isn’t Russian influence also a “foreign agent,” where the law would also apply? How did the the lawmakers plan to slip in exceptions or uneven enforcement?
Selective enforcement would be my guess. Prosecute the ones you don't like and allow the rest.
The law drafted by Russia's stooges would certainly not apply to Russian influence, hence its vocal embrace from Russia and immediate condemnatiom after its withdrawal.
80% of Georgian population wants to join EU, Russia under Putin is a dead end. Freedom of speach and democracy with values of EU-West is best. Capitalism with laws, not corruption and dictatorship of authortarians.

One of this pain is that Russian Empire saved Georgia from Turkey occupation. Georgian themselves asked Russia to save them. If not there would not be any Georgian.

Thats not true either. They have excellent relations with Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazahstan, Uzbegistan, Turkmentistan, China and North Korea, so vast majority of their neighbours are actually get along with them.
Everything is very simple. They are used to being supported by Russia. So it was in the Soviet Union. Now they are demanding further support from Russia, and when they do not receive it, they are very angry.
That's the power of media ( every kind of media from movies to social media) used as a tool to make Russia the boogeyman. millions of civilians around the world have died in conflicts since WWII and USA has had direct or indirect involvement in almost all of them. Yet people see US as the protector of democracy and a liberator. Speaks volumes what the media can do when 90% of it is biased and controlled by west.

I guess Georgia can use some new young leaders with ideas and ambitions.
There's a BIG difference between joining the EU and joining the EU/US/NATO military system. And unfortunately many Georgians -- just like many Ukrainians -- don't realize that the above two are connected, that the former alone presents a (legitimately) desired induction of the country into the West, whereas the latter makes the country a desired proxy to Western interest in conflict with its big neighbor.
I don’t believe there was a single mention in this video clip about joining NATO, so question the relevance of your comment. Nonetheless, I entirely disagree with your comment on NATO. NATO is a defensive military alliance, not an offensive one.
@@jas1049 Indeed there was no mention of NATO here. Nonetheless the question of NATO membership is the "elephant in the room" her, because except for Austria's maintaining strict neutrality, all of the other EU states have joined NATO or, in the case of Finland and Sweden, are soon to join. And no, NATO is no longer the defensive organization it began as and was during the Cold War. Since the end of the USSR and the Warsaw Pact it has embarked on war after offensive war. It is a threat to any nation that does not cater to American firstly but also European interests.

And to be honest before more countries join the EU the EU has to change its rules because at the moment when the EU wants to make important laws all leaders from all countries that are in the EU have to agree with the law and that's already extremely difficult because the EU has too many members....
But I agree with you for example Serbia and Kosovo joining the EU could prevent a war between Kosovo and Serbia .....
@@sollte1239 Well, the EU is not a super nation, so these majority rules cant be applied. It could be a super nation, but in that case if a country like Greece gets into trouble, then other countries have to bail it out without question, and not bragging about German taxpayers money. Markets have to be unified, there are no more subsidies against others, or social spending based on national level, and then we can talk about majority rules.

i mean, russia has many enemies at their borders. imagine usa having mexico and canada as enemies. i honestly think usa would do the same, or something similar.
I'm British and not that pro the EU, but if your Georgian your way better off in the EU , the only thing I miss about the EU was all the eastern europeans here, I would have kept free movement or much freer movement and left . you will notice that when we wanted to leave the EU did not try to invade us even if we were a smaller weaker country the EU wouldn't act like that, and just generally they are a much nicer bunch to be involved with . And this is coming from someone who left the EU so you or ukraine could join and leave it would cost you money but your not a prisoner as a country in the EU
Yeah, I wanted to swim over and invade, but the water was cold 😂
Did UK deport east Europeans?
Excellent comment. Apparently Georgians also want to join the EU and leave their country forever. This is what many residents of the Baltics do, and it will also happen in Georgia
@@ultimatewarrior3310 no but lots left , and i knew people who left because of covid and couldn't come back
@@bearsagainstevil so has things got better or worse?...
Don’t fear what you don’t know it needs to be done
What’s about being Georgians, be neutral and try to be as independent as possible so they won’t be in need to be on their knees either in Europe or Russia?
LOL Georgia was already neutral yet still got invaded by Russia in 2008
Hungary 1956 and Czechoslovakia 1968 were under Warsaw Pacts yet Soviet still invaded it 😂
Being"neutral"so Russia can kill and enslave the people of Georgia
Living next to this swamp doesn't give you such options. There are two options, to be honest. Neither you fight for your independence, and preparing to be hit every day. Or slowly became this swamp of zombified slaves, who go to die at neighbors' land, because of your tsar's will.
We tried to be “neutral” but this only weakens my homeland. We tried to negotiate and every day pay the price in the lives of our defenders, who stayed strong for so many years.
And now we have war again. And this time we will not forget. I hope.
wishfull thinking as other commenters already posted
More Georgians live in Russia than in Georgia itself. That's all you need to know 😊❤
On their feet.
Thank you, I'm here all week. Tip your waiter.
welcome europe..
Hi 😊🫶
Stay strong Georgia 🇬🇪 🇵🇱 🇪🇺
J. We will let you be our next proxy.
They’ll be the first to run if anything happens.
How old ...this guy in the hat? He is student? How old he was in 2008? 15 year ago ...he said ...he remember what happened in 2008 ? 🤔
Why not, maybe he was ten or twelve in 2008 and a boy of ten, twelve understands a lot, you donot remember crucial things when you were ten years old?. I donot see your problem
@@leendertanthonie1277 I tell you true...my friend...I remember myself from age 1 year 8 months. Big perspectives...🤔🙄😅 Do you know what different between kids, teenagers and adults? 😂 Have a nice weekend
@@alexkessel5980 you too a nice weekend, it was nice to have this little contact. Greetings and the best for you
Marching with American flag says everything
Yeah it says they choose freedom, not to be ruled under a narcissist dictator like Poopin!
@@latino_God Freedom means freedom, and not some US guys trying to tell what they must think about the world.
@@gaborrajnai6213 you mean like Poopin?
@@gaborrajnai6213 are you Indian by any chance?
@@latino_God Well, you have quite bad relations with the whole BRICS, which is 6 billion people, maybe you should listen and learn, why they are siding with Russia. Suprise, its not because there are dictators in every bush, or Russia would have such a military influence around the World, its simply because western talking points are extremely hypocritical and irritating.
After Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan and Afganistan should join EU 🇪🇺 . But surely not Turkey 😅
+1 for Kazakhstan 😂
lmaoo
When asked about the European Union (EU), 85% of Georgians either “fully support” or “somewhat support” joining the alliance.
Mostly one sided perspective from DW News, as always.
BS
Are those the only options? I think not. A country can chart its own path.
delusional. Especially as a small country you need alliances
@20SAVAGEakaXXSAVAGE No, Russia doesn't want it. They would have taken it when they won the war in 2008. Russia only wants security for Abhazia and South Ossetia.
@@misterae6430 I came from one small country that rejected the bipolar world and started the Non-alligned movement. Yes, it can be done. Like a kid with divorced parents, you can play one against the other for your advantage.
