Oh, THAT Georgia. Took me a while.

  • Election fraud
  • Pro Russia
  • Opposition got beaten up
  • Pro European president...

Oh ok. The country, not the US state.

Edit: And I wrote country from the start, not county. Fake news! 😭😅

Not much of a difference, except that in one Georgia they already have voted.

Given the corresponding elections it would be helpful if publications would state “Georgia, USA” or “Country or Georgia”, or something. “Georgia (Atlanta)” vs “Georgia (Tbilisi)”. Something to that effect.

Can we delete this post due to the obvious misinformation implications? Or at least edit the title.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
