Irakli Kobakhidze has an exceptional gift for the absurd. But while this talent might help to keep the oligarch happy, it is destructive for Georgia
RT @FormulaGe: "It would definitely lead to the level of escalation that would end with tanks entering Tbilisi... the scenario was included in the April 19 agreement. Accordingly, today we do not have Russian tanks in Tbilisi, but we have double-digit economic growth," Irakli Khobakhidze said.

Shameful that authorities who claim their support for Georgia’s European future behave like this. These actions, like the whole so-called Foreign Agents Law, are an attack on democratic values

RT @AmbLiuXiaoMing: 欧盟声称是全球最开放的市场,近来却不断采取限制性措施,以国家安全为名无理打压别国企业。这种做法有损国际社会对欧盟营商环境的信心。欧方应该言行一致,尊重市场经济和公平竞争原则,停止泛化、滥用国家安全概念,为各国企业提供开放、公平、透明、非歧视的营商环境。

1 year of Russia’s full-scale war & 9 years of aggression. Destruction, rape, torture, executions, mass deportations, pillaging.
Putin cannot and will not succeed.
Freedom will prevail. Ukraine will prevail.

TikTok is not just any social media app. It has clear links to the totalitarian CCP.
While I welcome today’s @EU_Commission decision, a general ban is needed. If TikTok is a threat to our democratic institutions, it is also a threat to our society!

We must see see clear improvements in human rights situation in the PRC. Without concrete steps by the totalitarian CCP (& the reality is that human rights situation is deteriorating, not improving), the Dialogue remains an empty exercise that will only serve CCP propaganda
