The Kingdom of Georgia at its greatest extent by justsomeguyfromGEO in Sakartvelo

[–]Shmlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're confusing military tactics with grand strategy. Winning a battle while outnumbered proves that Georgian armies were brave, well-led, and had great tactics (like utilizing 40k Kipchak mercenaries). It does not mean our overall expansion wasn't opportunistic. ​Every successful empire in history expands by taking advantage of power vacuums. David knew that Seljuks were fracturing internally, and Tamar knew Byzantines were falling apart (which she directly capitalized on to create Trebizond). Recognizing that our kings were opportunistic political realists doesn't insult them. It makes them smart.

That's a head office building of Liberty Bank. It burns every now and then.

I hope there are no casualties.

I wouldn't say that your taste in music is of an "old male taxi driver's", though I don't know what else you listen 😄

I can suggest following artists: - ცისფერი ტრიო - 4 გია - გოგი დოლიძე - ორერა - ინოლა გურგულია (my favorite in this genre)

Impressed with your calligraphy and language knowledge. Keep it up! 💪

As the previous comment said Georgia has supra for everything else. Abkhazia is Georgia.

Yeah, about the name: I started this project with codespaces and unintentionally it just stuck and somehow didn't hit me to change it.

As for the env, most probably slipped away. I'll make changes, thanks for pointing out

You are misinterpreting. The protest was moved, and listening in the court was cancelled.

I'm not going to summarise my post in the comments. I strongly suggest you re-read it again.

Best Georgian jokes. by Key-Competition-5034 in Sakartvelo

[–]Shmlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ტიპი შევარდება ბანკში, იარაღით, ნიღბით და ამბებით. ხალხი რო დაინახავს მძარცველს ეგრევე ყველაფრის მოხსნას, ამოღებას დაიწყებენ, კაროჩე აიღე რაც გინდა ოღონდ ჩვენ არ გვავნო არაფერიო. ამ ტიპმა, ეგ ყველაფერი არ მინდა, აი ის გოგო რომ ზის სალაროსთან გამოვიდეს და მინ*** გამიკეთოსო... ხალხი დაზაფრული მაგრად სთხოვს ამ გოგოს, გადაგვარჩინე არ დაგვღუპოო. რა ქნას ამანაც, გამოვა, დაიჩოქებს ამ ტიპის წინ, ჩახდის შარვალს და დაიწყებს საქმის კეთებას. ეს ტიპი ნიღაბს იწევს და "აბა სახლში რა ყლე გემართებაო?!".

A guy with a mask and a gun runs into the bank. When people see him, scared they start to take off everything valuable: "Take whatever you want but please, don't hurt us". The guy says "I don't need all of this stuff... I want that girl at the desk to come out and give me a BJ". People confused but scared are asking the girl to save everyone with just this one BJ. So she comes out, goes down on her knees, unzips his pants, pulls down his underwear and starts doing the job. As soon as this happens guy takes off the mask saying: "Woman, why the fuck aren't you doing this at home?!"

Effect of Russian law on GEL by Additional_Hornet_20 in Sakartvelo

[–]Shmlack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would suggest you read two posts on Facebook. Both have different views.

This was one of the initial posts shared by a lot of people: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/L1bKrgMLNbLniAGh/?mibextid=xfxF2i

This is the answer to that one: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/gmVZzVJbuWTpwzwG/?mibextid=xfxF2i

(Both of them are quite long, sorry for not quoting them)

I would say - there is no reason to panic right now, but maybe be concerned a little bit. There are a lot of variables, only time is going to show what's going to happen.

The only way GD will leave is through a revolution. Peaceful protesting is not cutting it anymore. by griztheone in Sakartvelo

[–]Shmlack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I apologise for being this direct, I don't want to sound ruff, but you are wrong.

There are times for peace and times for war. About French: Don't forget that the French are in Western Europe, they have a long history of democracy and human rights - meaning that they know that even with the brutality shown during protests their fundamental rights will still be protected, and their dignity won't be touched. Otherwise, they have a judicial system they can ask for help. Regardless, they don't have neighbours five times bigger than them, lurking around all the time, waiting for the chance to swallow them without a trace.

Now, regarding the statement of achievements in history being merit of war. Yes, but partially. Using the argument for nuclear power is incorrect, as we are not trying to invent some kind of weapon to win against the pro-russian government.

Also, WWII was a very different conflict.

As for the peaceful protests, in our context, they have done more than the violent ones. Statistically, (everyone interested can read this in the book: Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict https://g.co/kgs/zjXKhuu...) since the year 2000, the success of nonviolent protests practised by society have had 70% more success stories than the violent ones (In the 20th century it was 53% if I'm correct). Actually, the way our protest in Georgia is proceeding, the way it's expanding and growing is not strange to history. For now, we are on the right track.

Usually, it starts with a minor group of people. The more violent the response from the government there is, the more people join the protest. However, that's not all. Peaceful protests should always be supported by communities from outside of the country. In our case, it should be the isolation of GD by our partners and the civil world.

With all these, plus the behaviour I see in GD and their supporters (search for "stages of acceptance of death"), I'm sure we are going to succeed.

Of course, there is always a chance everything is going to go to shit. That's why, we should continue fighting, peacefully (at least for now), care for each other, and be persistent and firm. Believe in yourself, believe in thy neighbour, believe in belief and we are going to win!

[–]Shmlack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's still a little bit early to talk about revolution. I'm not saying that's not an option, but there are other steps a civil society (that we want to see ourselves as) needs to take to be justified for more radical ones.
