A former part of the USSR.

Not to be confused with Georgia (State).

Georgia is a nation state south of the Caucasus Mountains on the border between Europe and Asia.

History

Formerly a part of the USSR until 1991.

The Pankisi Gorge, a Muslim enclave in Georgia, became a base for support of the Russian breakaway republic of Chechnya.

In 2003 it saw a color revolution - a CIA-backed coup - installing Mikheil Saakashvili as president, who then declared the country's membership in the EU and NATO as goals.

In 2008, Saakashvili started a war against the breakaway republics of Abkasia and South Ossetia, both under Russian protection.

In the 2024 parliamentary elections in October 26, and the ruling party, Georgian Dream, won, receiving about 54% of the vote. The pro-European opposition alliance received about 37% of the vote and started protests, demanding the election’s cancellation. The president of Georgia, Salome Zourabichvili - the former French ambassador to Georgia - said she would not not leave office when her term ends in December because the parliament is "illegitimate".

On 14 December 2024, Georgia installed former footballer Mikheil Kavelashvili as the new president. Kavelashvili, nominated by the Georgian Dream party, was the only candidate standing in the presidential vote which was put to a 300-seat electoral college rather than the people as a result of constitutional changes introduced by the party seven years ago. Outgoing President Salome Zourabichvili, who was elected by popular vote six years ago and has declared the current legislature “unconstitutional”, told Al Jazeera that the country needed a “legitimate president” voted by the people, rather than “a parliament that has not received legitimacy”.

Bioweapons

"A US-funded biomedical laboratory in Georgia may have conducted bioweapons research under the guise of a drug test, which claimed the lives of at least 73 subjects, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement."

US targets Georgia

In December 2024, Brian Berletic reported:

Political unrest continues to erupt in the nation of Georgia along Russia’s southern Caucasus border, led by openly anti-Russian protesters backed by US-European government money and support.

The protests are a repeat of similar unrest that targeted Georgia in 2003 leading to the overthrow of the elected government then.

A 2004 Guardian article titled, “US campaign behind the turmoil in Kiev,” not only admitted that unrest in Ukraine that year was fully organised, directed, and backed by the US government, it admitted that similar US-sponsored unrest had targeted “four countries in four years,” including Georgia itself.

And from 2003 to 2008 the US-installed client regime headed by Saakashvili welcomed US-NATO military training, equipment, and weapons as part of a de facto NATO-isation right on Russia’s borders as part of what the US State Department referred to as the “Georgia Train and Equip Program.”

This training and equipping continued right up to 2008 when Georgian forces attacked Russian peacekeepers in August, precipitating a short but devastating war for Georgia. Earlier that year, for example, Georgian forces switched from Kalashnikovs to US-made M4 carbines, Reuters reported, reflecting the depth of US involvement in building up Georgia’s forces ahead of its attack on Russia.

Despite attempts by the US to depict the August 2008 conflict as a “Russian invasion,” the European Union, as part of its own investigation, found Georgia to be responsible for triggering the conflict, Reuters would report.

In the 2019 RAND Corporation paper titled, “Extending Russia: Competing from Advantageous Ground,” Georgia is listed by name under a section titled, “Measure 4: Exploit Tensions in the South Caucasus.” Regarding Georgia specifically, under “Measure 4,” the report states:

The United States could extend Russia in the Caucasus in two ways. First, 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.

It also notes that, “the United States might also renew efforts to bring Georgia into NATO.”

The current ruling party in Georgia seeks to avoid NATO membership, thus avoid becoming the “next Ukraine.”

In order to again use Georgia as a disposable proxy, the US must remove the current Georgian government from power, and re-install an obedient client regime eager to subordinate Georgia’s best interests to Washington’s.

Public opinion

An Integrity Initiative internal document reported that

“Conspiracy theories are also widespread. For example, a prominent narrative has been that the Lugar Center, a biological research laboratory in Tbilisi built with US assistance, is developing viruses to destroy Georgian genes.”
