  • While I doubt that the opposition nor the powers that want them in charge are above reproach here, the arguments as to why what they’re saying is false and based on a western agenda don’t stand up to the most basic logic seive either.

    It is fully possible for the incumbent to have run a fully corrupt campaign complete with ballot stuffing and intimidation/misinformation AND for the observers to not be objective either. One doesn’t cancel out the other.

    The big question is: were the elections provably legitimate and above reproach, and will the majority of Georgians respect the results?

















  • That’s a good line to use on Putin.

    Realistically, if Putin uses the nuclear codes, this is what happens:

    A few warheads in Russia explode in their silos and the government blames the West. A bunch of ither warheads are harmlessly shot down. A few actually find their targets and a few million people are wiped out. The west retaliates and suddenly the war is over.

    BICS then becomes ascendant in global power, China claims Taiwan and the Philippines and possibly Japan, and Israel is wiped off the face of the earth as all sides turn it into a nuclear slag pile, killing Israelis, Palestinians and a large number of Lebanese and Syrians in the bargain.

    Then things adjust to the new normal and economies rebuild, with the noted absence of Russia and Belarus.
