My quote: “Georgia is in the middle of a tug of war between the West and Russia for geopolitical gains. Ivanishvili threw himself into a geopolitical battle that is much bigger than him, and it will crush him no matter what happens. He put himself in a corner with two giant dragons opposing him — and now he is in deep shit.”
Bidzina Ivanishvili, whose wealth is about a third of the country’s GDP, watches from the wings as a controversial foreign agent law threatens to widen gulf with the West thetimes.co.uk/article/georg…

🧵Last night a right wing mob attacked the house of Israeli journalist @freyisrael1, calling him a “traitor” for his messages against killing of civilians of both sides and against the war. Frey was besieged in his home with his family for hours, with people trying to break in
סרטון שהגיע מההתרחשות בשעות אלה מחוץ לבית של ישראל פריי, אחרי שמכונת הרעל הסיתה נגדו, אחרי שפרסמו את כתובתו, זיקוקים באמצע הלילה לכיוון הבניין, סכנת נפשות, ותושבי האזור חושבים שאלה יריות כי מלחמה עכשיו. והמשטרה שעה ארוכה לא מצליחה להשתלט! מה זה הטירוף הזה??? @freyisrael1
