DISINFO: The US wants to use Georgia to open a second front of the war against Russia
SUMMARY
The main reason for the aggression brought by the US and the global war party towards Georgia is that it has not managed yet to transform the country into a second front in the war against Russia, despite the great efforts. This is why abroad they fight so fervently against the law that imposes transparency on NGOs.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about foreign-led protests and Russia as the ultimate target of international events. The claim is baseless.
Georgia’s protests were driven by a strong rejection among Georgian citizens of the controversial ‘foreign agents law’, which critics say mirrors a 2012 law in Russia used to crack down on dissent and suppress NGOs and media, and which could be used to restrict freedom of expression and association.
The law, inspired by a similar repressive measure in Russia, may endanger the democratic reforms Georgia needs in its aspiration to join the European Union.
It also appears to be deeply unpopular among Georgian citizens as tens of thousands of people have attended the recent protests. In 2023, a similar wave of protests against a previous attempt to approve the bill forced the withdrawal of the legislation, which has been reintroduced again by the Georgian government.
Read similar cases claiming that Washington is using Georgia to open a second front against Russia, that Ukrainians and the EU demanded that Georgia open a second front against Russia, that the West urges Georgia to open a second front against Russia, that The US and EU are pushing Georgia to start a war with Russia, and that The US intends to drag Georgia into the war with Russia.
