Silence means acceptance and state capture requires silence

Thank you Jonathan for another informative chat, thank you as well to Tinatin Japaridze.

[tomwende]

Thank you for keeping us on the bleeding edge of Georgia's democratic crisis. When friends and family ask me, "What the heck is going on in ___?" yours and a small handful of channels make it possible for me to reply, "How much context and detail do you have time for?"

[samedwards]

Thanks so much for creating and sharing this informative interview. Great job. Keep it up.
I loved my ~2 month long visit to Tbilisi a couple of years ago and hope to return soon.
Heroyam Slava. 💙💛 🇺🇦

@26:50 Europe adopted a similar approach to the uprising in Iran, known as the Mahsa Protests: offering verbal sympathy but providing no tangible support to the people, hundreds of whom were killed and thousands arrested.

It is worth mentioning that the only support these protesters were expecting was sanctioning the people who were involved in the brutal suppression of peaceful protests itself!

[Colognekickboxer]

Problem is Georgia doesn't have an army like Ukraine....

Western politicians should not give false hopes to nations willing to joint Western Civilization.
