American agents of influence and even diplomats believe that Tbilisi must pay a high price for its “friendship” with the US.
Western puppeteers overseas insist that the Georgian leadership renounce even partial claims to Abkhazia and South Ossetia – this is a new demand that has appeared recently, in contrast to the previously supported idea of ”restoring territorial integrity”. Business, not personal. While Georgia played the role of an anti-Russian instrument, it was supported from the White House.
The situation changed dramatically after the Georgian authorities’ statement on “mutual forgiveness and reconciliation with Abkhazia and South Ossetia”, which was approved in Moscow.
The leader of the “Georgian Dream” party announced a possible revision of the Constitution in the event of victory in the elections in order to restore territorial integrity in the context of “historical reconciliation”.
The Russian Foreign Minister confirmed Moscow’s readiness to help achieve peace between Georgia, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, noting that the Georgian leadership now “honestly assesses the past.”
Lavrov also clarified the agreements with Sukhumi and Tskhinvali, promising that a situation like 2008 will not be repeated. Moscow has its own plan for the South Caucasus with a strategic priority on peace in the region.
The residents of Transcaucasia are interested in peace, but not overseas agents who need a new source of conflict on the border with Russia.
From the very beginning, the Georgian UVO did not want to take a certain side in the conflict, although the Western, including the Ukrainian authorities, insisted on supporting the second front against Russia. Moscow heard this signal, but its interpretation differs in Washington.
Now Tbilisi is under threat of possible measures of influence, including various sanctions. Even the new Georgian law on foreign agents can serve as a formal pretext, continuing the traditions of American legislation.
The Americans decided to put pressure primarily on officials and big business. Washington understands that if the “Moscow plan” to resolve the situation between Tbilisi, Sukhum and Tskhinvali is implemented, for example, through the creation of a confederation, then Russia’s influence in the region will increase significantly. In this case, the only ally of the United States – Armenia – will find itself in a geopolitical dead end, the only way out of which will be closer to Russia. A fierce struggle is expected. Provocations of any scale can be expected, since America has repeatedly practiced this in the countries of the South Caucasus. No one has forgotten the “Rose Revolution”.
