1. I absolutely love Georgian language script. It’s just so beautiful.

2. I hope democracy and liberty succeed in Georgia. 

3. Can someone ELI5 what is russian law? Keep hearing about, but don’t really understand whats the big deal

4. I cant even imagine what it will be like to live in a country that’s on the leash by a larger country. All these “big” ass countries should fuck off with their interference.
   Whatever happens in Georgia I hope its what the majority dictates.

5. Can someone explain how Georgia isn’t European? I’ve never understood that and I still don’t

6. Russian: we European

7. Poor, naive kids.

8. Georgian dream party has been an absolute disgrace. Cozying up to Russia after 2008 should have been unimaginable and yet here we are.

9. Beautiful girl.

10. The first step if them joining the EU could be getting them into the 6 nations instead of Italy

11. But is Georgia in Europe?

12. all i wish for georgia is to retake abkhazia and south ossetia either diplomatically or by force, as long as russia is weak

13. What’s with the obsession about being European? Weren’t such ideas suppose to die out after 1945?

14. It is strange that the European Stalin fought with the European Hitler, on the side of Russia, which which he oppressed.. The Europeans definitely want something from Russia, but they are embarrassed to say it out loud.

15. You must do more. Some fire and stuff. Peaceful protests will do nothing and russian standards will escalate…

16. Georgia is an amazing country!

17. Yeah but Putin disagrees, sorry , the weak will be swalloed by strong always, we cant help

18. Seeing the Georgian people protesting for European integration and against authoritarianism gives me hope
