Convinced that there’s no square inch of the world the U.S. shouldn’t control, the interventionists are deeply concerned about Georgia, a country with the population of Los Angeles and a GDP worth about eight hours of U.S. output. From David Stockman at internationalman.com:
Recently, the United States House of Representatives passed the ridiculously titled “Mobilizing and Enhancing Georgia’s Options for Building Accountability, Resilience, and Independence Act (MEGOBARI Act) by a vote of 349 to 42. The latter “nay” vote consisted of 34 stalwart America First, non-interventionist Republicans and but 8 Dems from the AOC/Squad wing. The rest of the bipartisan UniParty mob voted “yea” in behalf of the stupidest piece of neocon busybody meddling in what is absolutely none of America’s business to yet come down the legislative pike.
The “Georgia” in question, of course, is a small country located in an obscure corner of the South Caucasus. What the act does is mobilize the whole of government in Washington—including sanctions, foreign aid and even military might—to punish its leading political party called Georgian Dream for not being sufficiently anti-Russian and pro-Atlanticist.
Let’s see. In so far as we can tell the little yellow spec on the map above could not be located by one in a hundred Congress persons without a color-coded pointer arrow. Self-evidently, Georgia is massively surrounded by the Russian Bear and, in fact, was an integral constituent republic of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics for more than 70 years, having notoriously even given birth to Joseph Stalin himself. And 120 years before that it had been an integral party of Czarist Russia after a predecessor kingdom was annexed in 1801.
At the same time, its capital of Tbilisi lies 3,500 kilometers as the crow flies from the nearest thing to the Atlantic, otherwise known as the English Channel. Never in all of history prior to neocon agitation in the last two decade did anyone on the planet associate Georgia with the Atlantic world.
Remember when Russia crushed Georgia back in 2008?

Stalin is from there like the painter was from Austria.
