Mattis discussed regional security with Georgian Prime Minister

52
US Secretary of Defense James Mattis met yesterday on the margins of the Munich Security Conference with Georgian Prime Minister Georgy Kvirikashili and Georgian Defense Minister Levan Isoria, reports RIA News.



The press service of the Pentagon said that the purpose of the meeting was to "discuss issues of defense and regional security."

Minister Mattis discussed significant progress in implementing military reforms in Georgia and US assistance in ensuring the security of the Georgian armed forces, including the ongoing partnership to increase the combat readiness of Georgia,
says the release of the military department.

Communicating with journalists on board the aircraft, who was returning to Washington after the conference, Mattis mentioned a meeting with the leadership of Georgia and Ukraine, noting that "the United States supports the sovereignty and independence of the two countries."

The press service of the president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, said earlier that the head of the Pentagon had discussed with the Ukrainian leader the situation in the Donbas and the need to deploy a UN peacekeeping mission in the region.

    08.08.08/2/XNUMX !!! Georgians still do not understand what a good ally of the United States? set off, promised support and left. Although for amers that Georgians that Ukrainians, Kurds, etc. People are not even XNUMX grades, but it’s something from the category of monkeys, which means what is happening with them? I threw a banana in a cage and see how they fight ...

      The peoples nearest to Russia (Georgia and Ukraine) became its enemies and traitors, sadly. Only as allies did they choose the wrong one, and they still choke on it.

          As soon as Ponty Khon begins to worry about regional security - after some time, this concern becomes a reality among countries receiving geldings.

              Here is a political nuance. Transport workers can, but no one will see the show off request
              And so two in one:

      What for? People are busy with business --- Georgians are increasing their fighting efficiency, while Americans are exploring, and most importantly, testing the region (not only on land, but more and more at sea). It would seem that it is always our zone of influence. Without delving into the essence of the military issues being decided by the United States and Georgia, the generalissimo prefer to drive a funny empty bag in the form of caricatures and insults.

    Once the "freedom-loving" Georgians followed their advice - the result is visible on the map of the former Georgia. Today, Bandera supporters follow their advice and what remains of the Outskirts is a rhetorical question. And what happened to other countries where they introduced the Amean model of "democracy" !? Only fools do not learn from the example of others! what

    The United States is seriously arming and training Georgians, taking into account the mistakes of the 08th year. Of course, they certainly have no hope of victory, but they reckon on delaying in which case our serious resources. In general, in Transcaucasia we have only one ally - Armenia, but even there they "seriously" work with pro-Western circles. So I think that the Americans should be taken very seriously in this region. A complete withdrawal of Transcaucasia from the zone of our influence is the wet dream of the West already for the past 200 years with a hook ....

    "The US supports the sovereignty and independence of the two countries"
    They would not have supported those who opposed themselves to Russia. Some (Georgians) got their teeth in 2008, while others persistently ask for it. But in general, the United States is well settled by the hands of others, inflame conflicts promising support and help, and as soon as it proceeds to real actions, immediately aside and "we, as if nothing to do, sort it out ourselves."

    Scared timid Georgians again? But the Prime Minister did not ask sukashvili to return to the place? Are the amber bacilli laboratories in Georgia still operating? I would venture to suggest that the conversation was about bases and ports.
