Speaker of the Georgian Parliament: No one will fight for Georgia in the conflict with Russia

In the event of an armed confrontation with Russia, no one will stand up for Georgia. This was stated by the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament Shalva Papuashvili in an interview with the Georgian newspaper Kviris Palitra.

According to the Georgian politician, Tbilisi does not plan to impose sanctions against Russia, because it is not sure about the support from the West in a critical situation. Papuashvili noted that in the event of an armed conflict with Russia, no one would fight for Georgia.

In the event of a war, we will be alone. We look at Ukraine and see that no one is fighting alongside the Ukrainian people or instead of them.

Papuashvili emphasized.

The politician is convinced that the maximum that the West is capable of is the supply of weapons. But Western governments will not risk the lives of their citizens because of Ukraine or Georgia, the speaker of the Georgian parliament noted. The conclusion is quite adequate, given that even in a country like Georgia, which is characterized by a pro-Western stance, government officials openly say that the West is not going to stand up for its post-Soviet allies “seriously”, sending its contingents to fight for Kiev or Tbilisi.

It is worth noting that Georgia will probably not receive even a small share of the military and financial assistance that has been sent to Ukraine since the beginning of 2022. This is due to the less interest of the West in Georgia, as well as the small population of the country, which makes Tbilisi less interesting for the US and NATO as a strategic partner.

Shalva Papuashvili does not want to become another deceived pro-American PAPUAN in glass beads! And she also does not want to be a slut for use.

There is experience! The 2008 vaccine is valid.
And yet, by the way, not particularly local leadership wants to sit after the example of Saakashvili. The reality of this situation is before their eyes...
At the same time, the fate of Zelensky is already looking more and more unenviable, you can watch live and place bets.

Tourism, wine and other benefits are better than war. Therefore, one can only rejoice at the prudence and wisdom of the Georgian people.

It is better to trade than to fight, especially when you do not know how to fight, it seems that the Georgians have learned this.

[Sith]

They already tried in 2008 ... in the know)

[Hanurik]

Our army in 2008 was also much better. Instead of the military, good or bad - it doesn’t matter, during this time officials and Chaldeans climbed up.

"... no one is fighting alongside the Ukrainian people or instead of him..."
Crystal dream - to fight INSTEAD OF them ... just like others - for Nagorno-Karabakh ... and they will trade, drink wine, eat barbecue, etc. ZSU are fighting - and they are not waiting for someone to fight for them, but here, you see, "INSTEAD" ...

[Ezekiel 25-17]

That's what the memory of 8.08 does. This means that we must continue with Ukraine until we see the banks of the Danube.

[Mouse]

Now, if only someone fought for them ... then yes! They do not mind.....

We look at Ukraine and see that no one is fighting alongside the Ukrainian people or instead of them.

Ukraine is still being helped very, very powerfully. Georgia does not have to wait for such generosity due to the fact that in the event of a conflict, everything will end much faster. The country is much smaller, the population is smaller, it is much easier to cut it off than Ukraine. Even if such a conflict is not included in the zone of our or Georgian interests.

I poked around on the Internet: the population of Georgia is 3 million 736 thousand people. Of these, there are approximately 15 million 64 thousand men aged 1-130. The armed forces are no more than 37 thousand people. according to some decree of theirs (in November 2022 there was an article on VO, where it is written - no more than 20 thousand, according to known data). The weapons are different: old Soviet and second-hand Western ones, there are few new ones. His - almost nothing. Taking into account the fact that the old Soviet has almost been raked out all over the world, it will be difficult to throw something for the Georgians. To relearn new things is long and expensive. I don't know if the Georgians will be happy about the mobilization, but I think that the majority will run away to the mountains or over the hill. So, apparently, the potential of the Georgian army is not great, and it is unlikely that the West will be interested in investing in it, even with the goal of harming Russia, and even more so fighting shoulder to shoulder.

[Tryams]

Well, i.e. waiting for the moment of weakness
I don’t know why everyone is happy here, but there is not a word in the article about the adequate goals of Georgia

Note that the only thing stopping them from imposing sanctions is that no one will stand up for them. That is, neither the centuries-old friendship, nor the commonality of peoples, nor the hundred-year neighborhood in the Russian Empire, and not only that Russia gave the Georgians statehood and protected them from genocide by the Ottoman Empire. Only that they do not have common borders with NATO. This is all Georgia

[chingachguc]

In 2008 we stopped on the threshold of Tbilisi. Because we do not need Georgia. One hemorrhoid. The Georgians probably understood this too.

[andelc]

So let them not fight if they are not confident in their abilities ...
