Following the Ukraine 2013/2014 coup recipe to a T:
- sudden mass, violent, "protest" against some arbitrary government action
- protesters with US flags and slogans
- government gives in to their demands, only to face new demands that government steps down

and this would not be Georgia's first coup or the first US instigated coup attempt on Russia's borders ... remember Kazahkstan's "petrol price protests" ...
 
and of COURSE Zelensky supports the coup too :ROFL:
“I want to thank everyone who put up Ukrainian flags on the squares and streets of Georgia,” Zelensky said on Wednesday evening, in Ukrainian. “I want to thank [you] for our national anthem, which was heard in Tbilisi. This is respect for Ukraine, and I want to express my sincere respect for Georgia.”

And here I though it was that the current Government was starting to make laws that clashes with the constitution. Section 78 is surprising.

Article 3. Democracy​


  1. Georgia is a democratic republic.
  2. People are the source of state authority. People exercise power through their representatives, as well as through referendums and other forms of direct democracy.
  3. No one shall have the right to seize power. The current term of a body elected in general elections shall not be extended or reduced by the Constitution or law.
  4. Political parties shall participate in the formation and exercise of the political will of the people. The activities of political parties shall be based on the principles of freedom, equality, transparency, and intra-party democracy.

  2. Every person has the right to receive and impart information freely.
  3. Mass media shall be free. Censorship shall be inadmissible. Neither the State nor individuals shall have the right to monopolise mass media or the means of dissemination of information.
  4. Everyone has the right to access and freely use the internet.
  5. The restriction of these rights may be allowed only in accordance with law, insofar as is necessary in a democratic society for ensuring national security, public safety or territorial integrity, for the protection of the rights of others, for the prevention of the disclosure of information recognised as confidential, or for ensuring the independence and impartiality of the judiciary.
  6. The independence of the public broadcaster from state agencies and its freedom from political and substantial commercial influence shall be ensured by law.
  7. The institutional and financial independence of the national regulatory body - established to protect media pluralism and the exercise of freedom of expression in mass media, prevent the monopolisation of mass media or means of dissemination of information, and protect the rights of consumers and entrepreneurs in the field of broadcasting and electronic communications - shall be guaranteed by law.

all governments make nonsense laws that irritate people from time to time

they never result in instant violent "protests" and government overthrows, that is called a coup

Not so sure it is a coup as the dictionary definition has it as follows,
a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group

The entire city center filled with protesters in not a small group of people.
 

Don't know this guy, but he sums up the situation. Just off Wikipedia.

Definitely smells like color revolution/ euro maiden all over again. But against a government that is already pro EU, but not anti Russian enough. It is completely ridiculous.

I have taken a liking in Georgia for their rugby, but man the intelligence of these protesters would challenge our EFF guys.

The USA has a similar law that requires foreign agents to disclose their finances. Other European countries have similar laws.

sudden ... check
decisive ... check
force ... check
violence ... check

so you hang your hat on the size of the group rather than face the obvious truth?

pure chance that sudden violent protests demanding the government step down always happen on Russia's doorstep and have been increasing ever since the Ukraine war started?

how much would you pay for the bridge I have to sell you?
