[Opinion] US and EU decided to stage a coup in Tbilisi

if it looks like a coup, quacks like a coup and smells like a coup ... it must be a protest!
there is no special legislation on non-profit or non-governmental organizations in the country, although they are listed in the general register of companies, which as of the beginning of 2019 consisted of 12,800 organizations. At the same time, the vast majority of such organizations rely on foreign funding, according to the Georgian national statistics service Sakstat. As of spring 2022, there were 7,972 companies with foreign founders operating in the country. With a total population of 3.7 million, there are around 460 people per foreign NPO in Georgia

From 2010 to 2016, Georgia received up to $77 million annually, since 2017 – up to $123 million on average. For 2020, it was planned to provide Tbilisi with $120 million through the State Department and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

The annual budgets of the most influential Georgian NGOs are comparable to the turnover of medium-sized commercial companies. According to calculations by political scientist Beka Chedia, the Soros Foundation alone invested more than $10 million in the Georgian third sector in four years (from 2003 to 2006). The CIA-linked National Endowment for Democracy, according to its own reports, distributed $1.2 million in grants in 2013 among three-dozen projects of Georgian NGOs

Echoes of Maidan: Georgia has a huge Western-funded NGO sector and regular outbreaks of violent protest, is there a link?

What lies behind this week's scenes in Tbilisi and why was Russia again used as a scapegoat?

Sorry did not check whole thread but is this maybe distraction from Silicon Valley bank failure?

Nope. If you’re familiar with the OPs posts you’ll know it’s all in praise of his sainted mother Russia.

SVB won’t enter the discussion unless he can find a relevant Murica bad, Russia sTrOnK angle.

I know a lot will fly dark over NATO airspace

So why did you ask for an example?

Wut said:
This particular aircraft flew very close to Finland and therefore would have needed to have their transponder on. Same as if a NATO aircraft wanted to fly near Sweden.

Were those goal posts heavy to move? I said Eastern Europe.

So no you have no examples then? Do carry on Daf.

You look rather ignorant with that comment, but do carry on, Wuttie.

Your BS comment which I asked an example for. Still waiting for an example where the "transponders come on and go off as they see fit" all willy-nilly. You choose to fly dark or you choose to fly with the transponder on. Switching midflight will light up all civilian radars in the area like a Christmas tree and trigger S&R.

That's why we fly with transponders on "Standby".
Dave said:
Um Wuttie, there have been lots of NATO aircraft flying dark over Eastern Europe most days recently. The transponders come on and go off as they see fit (or to send a message to the Orc King at times).

The NATO planes have been doing that, I think you're just arguing for the sake of it. It happens quite frequently where an aircraft flies from Western Europe and as it nears the war zone goes dark. A lot of it happens over the Black Sea.

Believe what you wish, I think you're simply disputing for the sake of arguing here..

Are your arms now tired from moving the goalposts? War zone, Black Sea? The B52 was nowhere near the war zone or the Black Sea so it had to follow the rules like everyone else in controlled airspace, especially seen as it was only at 26000ft which is well within civilian operating altitudes and it crossed several FIRs. So nothing special about it flying with its transponder on as I was saying before you had to interject with your BS comment.

You don't fly military aircraft, sweetie.

Our UAVs operate on military ops, so we know the procedures to program them.

well I don't know if the us and west powers have enough energy to support a coup in Georgia while the ukraine conflict is still going on.
I guess the americans are already tired of giving their tax money to others.

The money comes from allocated defense spending and is a minimal %.

Aid to Ukraine Is a Small Fraction of the U.S. Defense Budget | National Review

A new analysis finds that congressionally approved funds to support Ukraine this year amount to about 5.6 percent of U.S. defense spending.

The B52, that we are talking about, was nowhere near either of those zones, so its transponder was on and there was nothing was special about it. Do try to keep up...

No. Dave apparently has a flight tracker app that can track a lot of military aircraft if they fly"dark" with their transponders off.
