Russia’s problem with Georgia was never just geopolitics — it was democracy. A free, pro-Western Georgia challenges everything they stand for. That’s why they’ll do anything to stop it.

"The goal of the US are for international interests... Is it in our national interest to have an anti-American gov't governing an important part of the world? If not, we'll take appropriate actions to impose costs on that gov't."

Big news from DC: the U.S. House just passed the MEGOBARI Act — a strong message of solidarity with the people of Georgia.
This isn’t just policy—it’s about standing up for democracy, freedom, and long-standing friendship.
Grateful to everyone in Congress who sees what’s at stake and chose to act.

April 9, 1989—one of the darkest days in Georgia’s history. Peaceful protesters demanding freedom were crushed by Soviet troops. Dozens were killed, hundreds injured. 36 years later, we’re still fighting the same fight—for a free, independent Georgia. Long Live Free Georgia 🇬🇪

Today we mark the Cadets' Remembrance Day in Georgia.🇬🇪 This goes back to 1921, when cadets died in the battle against russian red army.
In February 1921, russian red army captured Tbilisi & overthrew freely elected government of Georgia, resulting in annexation of the Democratic Republic of Georgia
