    Georgia has been struggling against Russia for the last 300 years. Our national identity historically has always been European and currently by all relevant polls over 85% of Georgians want the country to strive for EU and NATO membership.
    Only thing preventing and slowing down the process is the current government elected in 2012, which outwardly also plays a game of being pro EU, but with time, especially in the last 4-6 years has slowly shifted to autocracy and tried to move the country closer to Russia inch by inch. They have employed every play in the KGB playbook to deceive their own people into submission.
    Despite this, we are still candidates for EU membership. Solely due to Georgian people, we are still outperforming ourselves in all the major metrics required for ascension to the EU. Whatever happens, we will never look towards north with anything but contempt and resolve to return our occupied lands.
    Georgian people will not stand for it ! We will do everything in our power to consolidate this movement and say no to pro-Russian government in the upcoming October elections. Until then, we hope for all the support we can get from our closest European friends and strategic partner the US.
    This is a part of larger strife by Russia to extend its spheres of influence into Caucasus or post soviet countries in general and if there is a lesson to be learned from the last 20 years of European politics, especially the Russo-Georgian war of 2008 after which Russia cemented its occupation of 20% of our country, occupation of Crimea in 2014 or current murderous war in our brotherly Ukraine, is that Russia should be stopped by any means possible !

      As a French I understand your thirst for independance and your anger toward imperialist Russia but I can tell you that joining UE is not the path toward independance and sovereignity but just a change of master.
      The decision you're blaming to be taken in Moscow will be talen by the european commission in Bruxelles.
      Don't trade plague with cholera.
      Have good relation with the countries of UE, never, never join this organisation.
      Many former eastern Europe countries which once were part of the Varsaw pact and tied to USSR see a close ressemblance between their former master and the way UE works.

      Don't think Russia can invade another country in the current situation.

      Georgia is only a 3 Mil. people. Russia thinks it can put them into their pocket. And this is what Russia does with all it's neighbors. .... never give in, never give up

      Joining the EU is such a bad thing for Georgia, being out of the EU with their own government, currency etc is far better

      ​@@voice.of.reasonLook at the latest world happiness rank for 2024, many under 30s are much happier in Baltic states due to increased prosperity and mobility that EU membership brings. Unlike Russia, they don't want to be a stick in the mud

    If they want their country to end up like Ukraine then maybe they should hold a referendum. It's not fair for a few hundred people to decide whether or not thousands of young Georgian men perish on the battlefield fighting Russia. It's not like America is going to allow Mexico or Canada to join the camp of their enemy.
