  1. I hope the EU and the US don’t recognize this bullshit that they call elections here.
    Impose sanctions. Against politicians, against the whole country, I don’t give a shit at this point.

    The worse it gets, the better. The sooner this shit will end.

    By the way, Hungarians, get ready. The same thing will happen to you.

  2. Wow, the results definitely seemed suspect but this is a monumental response.  The next few days will be very significant.

  3. Courageous. Hope we (EU) will truly support her. We need all the people standing against moscovitss

  4. This is going to be a big mess. At least Russia isn’t able to do much to mess it further because of the war in Ukraine, but still, this is a sh*tshow.

  5. She seems to be a great president in my eyes, but I fear Georgian Dream hates her guts by now. Can anyone, Georgian or not, share what the party may try to do to replace her?

  6. How likely is it that Russia will get involved in this, e.g. that the government invites Russia to send police or military forces to suppress protests?

  7. Europe’s traitor, viktor “putin’s dog” orban will probably have to cancel his trip he planned for tomorrow to congratulate his fellow russian asset. Kudos to Zurabishvili for her courage and honesty.

  8. Sky News said that there were a number of international monitors checking the election and voting. Is there to be an official report? I think they were from democracy supporting charities.

  9. I hope they will have new elections without interference. I’m sure their neighbor will have opinions, and they should ignore them.

  10. “Special operations gonna take place”

    I think the EU should be ready if shit goes down. Sadly here in the US we can’t do much until after the election.

  11. The exact same playbook again.
    If Georgia and the EU don’t act now, pro-russian Georgians will get violent and mysteriously get support from friendly men in green. Then, said men in green will annex territories and declare themselves ‘People’s Republics’ that just so happen to follow russia’s every command.

  12. TLDR coffee break summary

    Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili has rejected the results of the parliamentary elections held on October 26, citing widespread electoral violations and alleging Russian interference. She described the elections as “a total falsification” and encouraged citizens to protest on Rustaveli Avenue to defend their voting rights. Zurabishvili also called for international support, stating that the elections were illegitimate and did not reflect Georgia’s aspirations for closer ties with Europe.

  13. Just as Armenia is pulling itself out of the Russian orbit, Georgia slips back in.

  14. This is super interesting because Russia backed her during the 2018 election. Looks like she is being activated now to give Russia excuse to annex Georgia in the middle of an extremely messy power transition in the US.

    I dont recall a single Georgian election where the losers did not cry the election is rigged. It doesnt mean much to me.

  15. Does anyone know a source that tries to discuss whether or not the facts on the ground support her claim?

  16. It is strange that when you introduce laws that have been in force in the EU and the USA for a long time, you are immediately called a totalitarian country

  17. At least the Russians can polish their techniques until the 2026 Hungarian General Elections…
