This is very important, because some people are under the illusion that what the USAID has been doing is reflective of a certain kind of left-wing ideology and agenda. This shows that ideology and left-wing agenda have nothing to do with it. Republicans have been pushing the same drug as an instrument of subversion.

Trump is just an honest and vulgar barbarian. That's what distinguishes him from Democrats. Not much else. At least on the issue of Gaza.

@andrew_stigler What about the pathetic name of the Pacific Ocean. How about renaming it the Armageddon Ocean? The Russkies and the Chinese will get the message.

The problem is not that she says something so obviously treasonous. The problem is that way too many people in that part of the world (Georgia is not the only one) are perfectly happy with this sort of discourse. It is utterly normalized.
‘Homeland-less’ or ‘Usamshoblo’, this is how Georgian people usually describe the radical opposition for sacrificing their country’s interests for the amorphous ‘values’ of the pseudo-liberal international. But this is yet another level of sell-out. Georgia’s ex-president talks about her ‘own’ country as if Georgia were an alien state, a pawn in a remote game: “If America wants to be first, wants to be strong, it cannot be humiliated by a small country of 3.7 million inhabitants”, disparagingly referring to the citizens of Georgia. What the opposition fails to appreciate is that true partnership stems from mutual respect not subservience. They are digging themselves deeper every day.

I thought you were against the postmodern principle of adjusting facts and truths to narrative, ideology, and politics. Shouldn't the only question be "is what Candace Owens saying factually accurate?" for someone as dedicated to positivism as you seemed to be? You seem to have become quite selective with your epistemological principles.

Discussing an infamous 2019 study by RAND Corporation about how to provoke Russia into actions that would overextend it and sink it into quagmires, Glenn Diesen writes: "RAND recognizes the opportunities 'to exploit tensions in the South Caucasus.' Two different strategies were recommended to overextend and weaken Russia: 'the United States could push for a closer NATO relationship with Georgia and Azerbaijan, likely leading Russia to strengthen its military presence in South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Armenia, and Southern Russia,' or 'Alternatively, the United States could induce Armenia to break with Russia.'" Diesen continues: "Russia's position as the leading security provider in the South Caucasus relies on maintaining a good relationship with two key adversaries - Armenia and Azerbaijan. Reigniting conflict between these two states would place Russia i n a dilemma as support for Armenia would alienate Azerbaijan, while the failure to support Armenia would would undermine the security commitments to a member of a Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). One year following the RAND report, Azerbaijan went to war to take control over the disputed territories in Armenian-controlled Nagorno-Karabakh." Glenn Diesen, The Think Tank Racket: Managing the Information War with Russia (Atlanta, GA: Clarity Press, 2023), p. 78. Very interesting.
