According to the Georgian military department, military exercises with the participation of NATO countries are planned for September this year, where the United States will play the main role. According to Defense Minister Irakli Garibashvili, these exercises will contribute to "strengthening the Georgian army and its compatibility with the alliance."

We are planning to hold the Georgian-American international exercise "A worthy partner - 2020" in September. NATO member countries will take part in them.

- the minister said.

Against this background, almost unnoticed news on the rearmament of the Georgian self-defense forces. According to Garibashvili, as part of the rearmament, all regular units of the Defense Forces will be re-equipped with M-4 assault rifles.

Speaking in the country's parliament, Georgian Defense Minister Irakli Garibashvili said that the Georgian army is moving to NATO standards. According to him, along with the M-4 rifles, additional combat units will be fully equipped with modern NATO standard weapons.

In addition, the construction of facilities for the deployment of air defense control and control systems purchased from France, as well as their installation, has been completed in Georgia. Earlier it was reported that the country's Ministry of Defense purchased short-range air defense systems, radar stations and mobile control centers.

And Georgia is trying to cling to NATO. They probably forgot that in the very first hours of the attack on South Ossetia, all their American instructors took off from Georgia by plane.
And not only them. Because they knew in advance how this adventure would end for Georgia.

[Sergej1972]

I agree in everything, except lamb! This is the thing! And for men the most healthy of all types of meat.

[013Azer]

In small batches, accept gifts in the form of Javelin (2 km) and the transition from AK to M14 is not a transition to world standards for army building, and does not mean strengthening the army. This requires big, very big money, which Georgia does not have, and has not yet dreamed up. Almost everything rests on external capital, and for many years Azerbaijan has been the largest foreign investor in Georgia, in particular, the oil and gas company SOCAR. After the war with the Russian Federation, and even more so, we in Georgia are masters of many sectors. And almost every second car in Georgia on Azerbaijani fuel. We essentially contain this neighboring country, more than half of Georgia’s strategic currency reserves are the money of Azerbaijan. Neither American nor British investments in Georgia can be compared with our capital and investments there. (Through this country, several of our significant pipes will be flown to other countries.) Yes, tourism is a very profitable sector, and sometimes more profitable than oil, but if you are Egypt or Turkey. So either to accelerate the pace of a full transition to NATO, or to go into a big debt and build an army completely, a small army will have enough and $ 10-15 billion for a lot to start, and then quietly pay off your debts. Or while shooting from what is, let it be both the old and the new, do not drop everything all at once and switch exclusively to the new. So on the contrary, weaken the power.

[Yarhann]

Batumi, too, you or the Turks?

[013Azer]

In general, about the economy of Georgia. In which cities and how to distribute the money, this is Georgia’s business. Specifically, Batumi is still the Black Sea, I think there for many reasons the interests of Turkey and the United States dominate.

[Yarhann]

)) where investors invest, not Georgians)) and investors are not Georgians))) and what place the United States there is nothing but lending suckers in bucks (for reforms, including the army) and American PACs are not interested in selling PPC products, American investors and such an ass can’t get into it. Georgia is a deep butt in which there is no place for American investment, but public debt is the place)))

[013Azer]

Please, let's not call anyone suckers. You all seem a little misunderstood. As for dollar loans, is this the case all over the world, or is Georgia only taking debts in dollars? Well, or you live in another parallel universe, where everything is governed not by the US Federal Reserve, but by some other system, and other people.

[Yarhann]

my good you understand the difference between loans and investments?

[013Azer]

So you are about loans, then about investments. I answered loans and debts, in bucks.
And even investments are realized in Bucks. Investing in the Georgian economy is a profit for both the investor and Georgia.

[Yarhann]

the point is not in bucks) but in investments - and they can be taken away not in bucks. can even be in local Georgian tugriks, or in Turkish liras or in rubles. But the Georgian Papuans (power), as a rule, take loans in dollars and under American projects (reforms, etc.). And these projects do not bring any profit to the country, or rather, they carry but to the American side because they give loans for their projects.
My good investment is not profit - it is the risk of private capital to multiply - that is, make a profit. And making a profit in the ass of such Georgia is very difficult - because it is not particularly interesting to anyone, especially to the states.

[013Azer]

For America, this is not profit, but for us, it’s profit, and to prevent Georgia from collapsing. Our oil pipelines pass there, it is imperative for our state to always remain the largest investor there, and we have more leverage on this country, all because of our pipes, we have to. For example, we build gas stations there for them, we send for example daily tons of fuel for each gas station, and Georgia determines the price for each liter of fuel, the higher - the better for them, we take the cost of what we put there and what we will sell fuel for every day they are the population, it’s them in the piggy bank. Sometimes it’s possible to work yourself even without pluses, you just have to remain their main investor, whatever the cost, all for the sake of our political and economic interests in the region and in the world as a whole. All because of the pipes and the pumping of large quantities of oil through Georgia, one cannot allow another country to prevail over all this. Losing control. And not only we, our oil also belongs to BP (British Petrolium), not only to ourselves. It is not that simple.

[Yarhann]

my good fuel price is determined by the country the fuel producer is - that is, in your case, Azerbaijan. Georgians only draw their excise taxes and taxes. And again, this is not investment - this is the sphere of trade and services)) Investments in Georgia by Azerbaijan begin and end on sokara all the way. If it’s interesting regarding the investments of other countries in this hole, this is open infa and it is on the net. Turkey was the largest investor in 2019 - and this is the sphere of trade and services, as I said above. The second after them are the British - most likely the Georgian thieves who legalized their capital in Britain, the third place is the Americans. if you take by industry it is energy, trade and services, and the financial sector. Trade is understood by the Turks, the financial sector (loans), the states, and energy is the trouble of local thieves through British offshore.

Lokhov was divorced for rearmament and controlled by self-hypnosis of military support and security. If you count the headstock, then the American military-industrial complex is in plus, and if you suddenly start a war (like 080808) then the military-industrial complex will remove the supply bank for the supply of bk) this is logical. business is not personal, Georgia should not be cut off anymore - the sheep is dead ...

Where will the small arms previously purchased from Israeli Jews go?
From Wiki:

In 2010 year Israeli company Ropadia signed a contract to supply a large batch of weapons to the Georgian army (50 thousand assault rifles AKS-74, 15 thousand 5,56 mm assault rifles, 1 thousand RPG-7 grenade launchers and almost 20 thousand rounds of grenade launchers)

Georgia // Foreign Military Review, No. 3 (756) 2010. p. 80
I think 50 thousand machine guns AKS-74 APU come in handy ....
