According to a report by AFP Washington on July 5, the United States announced on July 5 that it was suspending military exercises with Georgia scheduled for the end of July as part of a comprehensive reassessment of relations between the United States and the Caucasus country, which is increasingly close to Russia. Tbilisi considers this a "regrettable" decision.
For this thing, in fact, the Georgian side has long been psychologically prepared, and it is not surprising.
After all, Georgia has been waiting for news since last month, under pressure, passed the internal alien agency bill.
Referring to how the United States targets Iran, the United States, Venezuela, etc., this is really not a big deal for Georgia!!
At present, Georgia's biggest advantage is that although their own military strength is not particularly strong, their geographical location is very good, and it is impossible for the United States to really send troops to attack them.
The only fear may be that they will stir up the opposition, and the most important thing for the Georgian government now is to get some traitors out of the country.
The United States canceled military exercises in an attempt to deter Georgia
The military exercise, called "Noble Partners," was originally scheduled to take place from July 25 to August 6, but was "postponed indefinitely" after Georgia passed a controversial law on "foreign influence," the Pentagon announced in a statement.
The United States ordered a review of all its cooperation with Georgia in May and has announced sanctions against dozens of Georgian officials over the law, the report said.
For Georgia, they can still mature in this regard, and the only thing to worry about may be the economic sanctions imposed on them by the West.
Georgia is not without a solution, which is to strengthen ties with China.
Previously, Georgia had opened one of their own ports to China for Chinese contracting, which also caused strong resentment from the U.S. ambassador to Georgia, but the Georgian government insisted on doing so.
The reason is also very simple, because China can revitalize this port, drive the development of Georgia's economy, and solve the employment problem of local people.
The most important thing is that people will not force Georgia to take sides, which the United States and the European Union cannot do
Falling out with the United States is conducive to ensuring his safety and will not become a scapegoat
For Washington, the decision to postpone the exercises "is due to false accusations made by the Georgian government against the United States and other countries," according to the Pentagon.
Washington claims to have been falsely accused by Tbilisi of "pushing Georgia to open a second anti-Russian front in order to reduce pressure on Ukraine" and to be involved in "two attempted coups against the ruling party." Therefore, the United States considers "the timing of the organization of large-scale military exercises in Georgia inappropriate."
Isn't this the American routine? The Americans have always wanted to prop up pro-American governments in the Greater Caucasus, and he wanted to do so in all three countries.
Armenia has already succeeded, neither Georgia nor Azerbaijan has succeeded.
If the current Georgian government were properly pro-American, then it would be possible that they would allow the Ukrainians to go to war with Russia here.
At that time, I would have dragged Georgia into the whirlpool of war. In 2008, the war cost Georgia two pieces of territory, which have not been recovered until now, which should be a pain in Georgia's heart.
At that time, the United States had been agitating Georgia, but when something really happened, it stood by and watched, which also made Georgia clearly recognize the sinister intentions of the United States and resolutely decided to rely on itself.
For the current Georgian government, Russia is not an ideal partner to work with, nor is the United States, and what they have to do is to protect their own interests.
In foreign policy, we will not lean towards Russia and continue to follow a neutral line
This should be the second time that Georgia has been sanctioned by the West, and the EU has already imposed sanctions on Georgia, that is, not allowing them to join the EU, and they applied before.
The response to this US sanction is also reasonable and restrained.
The report quoted the Georgian Defense Ministry as saying that the US statement was "regrettable". "The United States and Georgia have established a decades-long partnership in the field of defense based on the common interests and goals of both countries," Tbilisi stressed. ”
"Despite the suspension of the exercises, the modalities of cooperation continue, including the preparation of the international exercise 'Spirit of Agility' 2025," the Georgian Ministry of Defense noted. ”
To put it bluntly, although relations with the United States are very bad, they will not blindly choose to be pro-Russian.
In fact, this is also to show the Americans, if you continue to target me, then I have another way to go.
In fact, Georgia gives the impression of being a country of paradise. Although the country is not very wealthy, the locals are very simple and do not want to get involved in the disputes of major powers.
And their geographical location is also very important, which also makes the United States look forward to them for a long time, and it is also very annoying for Georgia.
If I use this incident to completely break with the United States, it may also give Georgia a strong buffer period in diplomacy.
The Western sanctions against Georgia may have reached their peak, and the most they will do in the future is not to interact with each other, and they can also use economic and trade exchanges with China to vigorously develop their own economy!
If they have to follow the United States, the price is that they will become a second Ukraine.
