📣 #Georgia posts have naturally collected a large number of comments from Kremlin bots and trolls.
Many of them are “crypto experts” or “[insert US state here] Christian patriots”
Here are their main narratives:
- The protests are a color revolution organized by the CIA
- Most protesters are not Georgians and/or paid shills
- The protests were organized by foreign NGOs (to support the “foreign agent” law instated by Georgian Dream)
- “How is this different from Jan 6?”
- “The police are showing restraint, the US would have shot protestors.”
- Ukraine is sending in snipers (same claim they had with Euromaidan)
- “This is the work of Nuland/Soros/Biden/US neocons”
And my favorite: “Why are their signs in English if they’re protesting in Georgia?”
☝️ Let’s acknowledge the Kremlin and its stooges have no originality and use the same narratives for everything.
I say this with some measure of disappointment, watching once mighty russian #propaganda end up sounding like a drunk h0b0 predicting the end of the world in the streets.
They can’t imagine people having actual agency and free will.
………..
❗ #TikTok took down 𝟔𝟔𝐤 fake accounts and 𝟏𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 fake followers for interfering in #Elections in #Romania
Imagine how many are interfering in other countries.
📊 Multiply those numbers across all the countries and elections foreign entities like Moscow are actively trying to manipulate.
That’s the scale of what we’re up against on these #SocialMedia platforms.
Georgescu is Romania’s surprise presidential candidate, who won 𝟐𝟐% of the vote out of nowhere, surpassing major party candidates.
📈 In just 3 days he exploded on TikTok, convincing voters he is a moderate nationalist pro farming pro EU candidate. Millions voted for him WITHOUT CHECKING his other views.
Like how he believes soda contains nanomachines, women shouldn’t be president, is anti-EU, anti-NATO, anti-vax, denies climate change and the 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐭 and is an open supporter of the Iron Guard, Romania’s WWII 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐭 movement.
And, of course, he’s pro Putin 🙄
But people saw his face on TikTok and liked some of the disinfo spread about him, so 22% voted for him anyway.
🚨 This man does not belong to any party (thus no party machinery to back him), has no vast fortune to fund his campaign that we know of and was utterly unknown to 90% of the country one month ago.
Many speculate this man is a Russian asset as his meteoric rise from 0% to God knows how much could not be explained in any other way.
The #EU has to find ways to move quickly and decisively.
Our #democracy is being undermined systematically.
Token condemnation and concern don’t deter adversaries.
……………
☢️ 30 years ago, #Ukraine received a “guarantee” (Russian, French and Ukrainian) or “assurance” (English) from Russia, the #USA #UK and #France that its “territorial, political and economic integrity” would not be violated and that if so, these countries would intervene.
☝️ Today we know that “guarantee” wasn’t a guarantee at all.
In return for that guarantee / insurance, Ukraine handed over all of its 1880 nuclear weapons to Russia, and joined the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
🚀 Given what is happening today, with russia openly invading Ukraine and the West failing to stop it, only providing a minimum of ‘aid’ but no boots on the ground…
No country will ever trust western ‘#security guarantees’ again.
❗️ And no country will ever consider giving up its nuclear weapons ever again.
Yet we hear the same foolish arguments again today, in ignorance of #history
just give up nukes and we’ll guarantee your security
just give up some land and we’ll guarantee your security for real…
…………..
Unfortunately LI is infested with kremtrolls too:

Ukraine provoked Russia. Ukraine trusted West proxy war will pay off. Its 100% Ukraines fault. Country destroyed, 650,000 dead ukranians, close to 1 trillion usd / eur taxed money wasted if not more and we r still talking abt suporting Ukraine. With that kind of money we end housing crisis both in EU & US, improve public health services etc etc. The only support Ukraine should get is rebuilding it from whatever its left from Ukraine at the end of the day. Russia is way stronger than 3 yrs ago despite all the sanctions!!!

Hippokrates Liverios Your opinion is quite common, but let’s take a closer look at some important aspects to better understand the situation:
Who really provoked the conflict?
Russia began its aggression against Ukraine back in 2014, illegally annexing Crimea and supporting militants in Donbas. The war in Ukraine is not the result of ‘provocations,’ but a direct violation of international law by Russia.
The number of casualties and destruction
Yes, the war has brought immense suffering to Ukraine, but it is crucial to remember who is responsible for this—the aggressor. The West is helping Ukraine defend its independence and democratic choice, not supporting the war.
Financial costs
The expenses for aiding Ukraine are an investment in the security of Europe and the world. Ignoring Russia’s aggression could have far worse consequences, as history teaches us that aggressors must be stopped.
A strong Russia?
Sanctions and isolation have seriously weakened Russia’s economy, which faces long-term structural issues. Temporary successes do not change the fundamental weakness of its system.

Hippokrates Liverios it’s shamefull to read such nonsense.
In Donbas 1/3 of citizens were ruzzian 2/3 Ukrainian. putin with his zar dreams used same argument as hitler … Invading to protect. Fact is that Donbas instead became a nightmare for the Ukrainian, who got beaten, arrested or killed. Reporters too. Exactly like in ruzzia.
That is the actions You defend as ruzzian morale.
In 2014 when ruzzia send a helping convoy, it was a Trojan horse filled with weapons and soldiers and it left again after looting factories.
Eastern Ukraine has the richest minerals, which might be the reason for the strong fight where ruzzia don’t care about their losses, they just keep sending people to die. Looting and killing is actually their true moral.
Suggesting You to use other channels than ruzzian propaganda to understand what is going on.
