Poland's Lech Kaczyński in August 2008 traveled to Tbilisi together with the presidents of Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to show solidarity with Georgia in the face of Russia's invasion of that country, according to accounts by officials. He said at the time: "Today Georgia, tomorrow Ukraine, the day after tomorrow the Baltic states, and then, perhaps, the time will come for my country, Poland."

This is Russia's MO, create frozen conflict until the world forgets and then it becomes the status quo. This was the goal in Moldova in 1992, in Ukraine in 2014 and its the MO in 2024.

During the last 10 days, I have been traveling through the whole country and have seen people fighting so desperately for the liberties we in the West so often take for granted. My deepest respect for the bravery and the willingness of the Georgian people. Austria and Europe are with you❤🇦🇹🇪🇺
@@whitehorse1961 They are fighting for the liberties they still have, for now. Ask the honest Russians what liberties they lost in the last few years and you'll know.

We have many Georgian people here in Ukraine, many of them working in restaurant business, cooking their national cuisine which tastes incredible! They are very humble and hard working. My friends who have been to Georgia say that Georgians are super friendly to Ukrainians, especially now, when we face a common enemy. Too bad their government licks putin's butt while people stand against russia. I hope one day I'll visit this beautiful country.
I like how Annie immediately figured Johnny out and his passion for maps and decided to gift him a map 😊 thank you Johnny for showing us the thoughtful & beautiful people of Georgia ❤
I've been watching your videos for a long time now, a few years. As a Georgian, I've really dreamed you would one day make a video about our country. I've asked in a few comments before whether you would be interested to come and do one (or more) video(s) about this region. And finally, here it is! Thanks for bringing out our country's story out to so many people who watch and follow you!
Hope to see a video of Lands occupied by the Brits so far away from Britain or African countries occupied by France or perhaps Territories occupied by USA far away in the Pacific Island or simply the hundreds of bases of USA Italy, Poland Romania, Germany, Kuwait, Brits in Ciprus, etc. You are living in a dystopian world, it is so many of you but thank God you are a minority in the World, and every day less relevant.
Okay, memo to myself: Don't bother reading the comments in the first hour, it's so full with AI generated comments about some investment scam, so annoying 🙄
Thanks Johnny for shedding light on the occupation of Georgia. As a Georgian, I really appreciate you bringing attention to this important issue. 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
This is way more important for the world to know and fight for than Palestine. Not just for the Georgian people, but for the whole world to know how Putin is slowly trying to claw back all the countries that broke away from the USSR and how easy it is. Palestine on the other hand, whilst enduring unbelievable horrors and hardship is not having it's land taken away from them. They are merely allowing Hamas to ruin their country for them so they can blame someone else.

As a person from west Georgian, i think its tragic they occupied abkhazia from us, abkhazia was one of the most historically important parts, tamar the king was abkhazian and a kingdom that resided in abkhazia, samegrelo and ajara was known for trading wine with ancient greeks.

As an European citizen this video really touch my soul. On my country and in general across the EU I see more and more skepticism about the EU, because people take for granted all the benefits they have now, being European citizens. Seeing how passionately and passionately Georgians want to be Europeans really moves me. Unfortunately, I don't think that the European geopolitical scenario is now ready to welcome them, rather it must first think about not dissolving. I will never stop dreaming of a united Europe, with Georgia as a member. Thank you very mush Johnny for telling this story, and in general for all the videos you make.
Having been to Georgia myself, it's an amazing country but as you said, Georgians are terrified of Russia. They had a saying that a few of them said to me: "Russia doesn't need to send their army to conquer Georgia, they just need to throw all their boots at us and the whole country would be covered". They are very brave, but they very much feel outnumbered.
yep also the su-25 was build in georgia so the lived okey in the udssr they had their invrastructur and their pride and thechnical schools ect but yes russia was playing the ossetians and abkhazians they said they want to be their own staat so russi was placing peace keepers there and in 2008 the georgians attacked them and imo wanted to take over the ossetians for some reason and that backfired hard (maybe they wanted to fix their border problems with them so they can join nato coz you cant join with border clashes) i mean what was the point for georgia? get some village back? imo it could not been a preemtive strike from georgia coz in the end russia just run in and punched them hard but left emediatly after destroying the georgian army so there was no intend to take over georgia from russia but it makes sens for russia to hold this ossetians and abkhazians territory "for" them so georgia cant join nato and if they join nato they have a foot hold on the other side of the caucasus from wiki 20 September 1990 - South Ossetia declares independence. The republic remained unrecognized, yet it detached itself from Georgia de facto. In the last years of the Soviet Union, ethnic tensions between Ossetians and Georgians in Georgia's former Autonomous Oblast of South Ossetia (abolished in 1990) and between Ossetians and the Ingush in North Ossetia evolved into violent clashes that left several hundred dead and wounded and created a large tide of refugees on both sides.

It is a very one-sided argumentation… With an “innocent” and “shocked” voice… You should also ask people in Abkhazia on how they feel. Man, this is a perfect illustration of propaganda
You know better where people living in "Abkhazeti" come from isn't it. If you want to go into details why not mention that people who identify themselves as an independent "Abkhazians" come from northern Caucasus in XIX century by slaughtering and resettling actual Abkhaz-Georgians and taking their homes? why not stating that "South Ossetia" is also Soviet made up term that never existed before. if you want to go into details why not going into that? or if you want to go deeper why not state that most of northern Caucasian tribes are actually migrants from Middle East? or you only want to discuss that facts that help your argument?
If Russia attacked these territories, why is the Georgian government now ready to recognize that they started this war and genocide of the Ossetian people. And they are ready to apologize for what they have done. If they are not guilty, why apologize to Ossetians?
Cause current government is Russia controlled with Russia's made billionaire oligarch sitting on the throne, they say and do what Russia wants, they started slowly with Russian narative now they increased it in that level, you can see whats happening in Tbilisi for that reason
as a Ukrainian, thank you for this. It's a sad story and even today Georgia as a country is afraid it can get worse, and they have the shittiest government but the most amazing people. The world should know that russians won't stop until someone stops them. Help us, Georgia, Moldova, Armenia, all the 'imperial' seized lands. also, the election is right around the corner and russians are literally threatening them even more. Just today I saw photos of billboards that had pictures of destroyed Ukrainian cities, bombed bridges, leveled buildings, and the slogan that said 'choose peace', which sounds more like 'get on your knees and don't even think about it'.

The world should have never accepted invasion of Georgia and part of Ukraine at the first place years ago. They understand only power.

Russia invaded Georgia because they did not want NATO on its border, and it invaded Ukraine for the same reason. Oh, I get it now! Thanks for the video!

@@mariaannenkova7954 He's not "highly regarded" in Georgia, because despite where he was born, he was a Russian politician, that occupied newly-independent Georgia, murdered and repressed Georgian intelligentsia and created an empire for Russians. I doubt Hitler is "highly regarded" in Austria as well just because he happened to be born there.
Only in this case Georgia attacked Russia. First, Georgia sent troops into South Ossetia, destroying cities like Tskhinvali, and then attacked Russian peacekeepers who were maintaining peace in the region at Georgia's invitation. As you probably know, this is the unleashing of a war, for which Georgia and the countries that incited it are responsible. Take, for example, the confession of George Bush Jr., who told Vovan and Lexus that Saakashvili (the President of Georgia who unleashed the war against Russia and is now in a Georgian prison) was a puppet ruler installed by Western countries after a coup d'etat.
I love the rhetoric regarding Georgia’s longstanding commitment to freedom as a foundational cultural value and the subsequent discussion of resisting Soviet oppression. All this accompanied by images of Stalin…the most famous Georgian in history. Well done! Great editing!!! 🤙🏻
Yeah but that doesn't mean anything Stalin was the biggest conqueror of Georgia he gave the order to the red army to attack back then the independent republic of Georgia.
@@Otawee Well it does mean quite a lot. It means that Georgia wasn't an occupied territory by the USSR, at least, as Baltic states pretend to be, for example.
There are pictures of Stalin? LOL That is funny he did not notice that. Maybe he is into Stalin? I did not watch the whole video because it smelled like propaganda.
As a Bangladeshi, I deeply resonate with the challenges faced by Georgia in its struggle for independence and sovereignty. The parallels between our countries are striking, from the historical influence of larger powers to the ongoing geopolitical tensions. Just as Georgia has bravely resisted Russian pressure, Bangladesh has also faced its own share of external threats. I admire the Georgian people's resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Your unwavering pursuit of a democratic and independent future serves as an inspiration to us all. Let us stand together in solidarity, supporting each other's aspirations for freedom and self-determination.

If I'm not mistaken, you're talking about India. I'm an Indian myself. See, brother, I agree that maybe the BJP government has interfered in your politics, but that’s just for peace. I mean, every country wants a friendly government in their neighbor, which is why every country interferes in others' politics. Even the USA tries to influence our politics, but yeah, I agree it's wrong. And whatever Sheikh Hasina did is the worst thing any leader can do. Talking about the dam water, it was not done intentionally. There were floods in the area where the dam was located, which is why water had to be released as an emergency measure, I'm sorry, and I agree the BJP government has harmed our relations, but I hope Congress can fix everything.

All interviewees are young urban dwellers who speak very good English. It is obvious that they are people with pro-Western and pro-European views. There were no in-depth interviews with older residents and those who do not speak English. Even if there are only 20% of them why not ask their opinion? Or are minorities not supposed to have an opinion?

@@AddieHilton Yes, of course ♥️. Suddenly, Russia has 50,000 soldiers with tanks, artillery, and aircraft on the only road connecting to Georgia. A week before, they evacuated their civilians and began firing at Georgian villages. The day Georgia responded, these 50,000 soldiers immediately started advancing, bombing the entire Georgian territory from the sea, from another occupied region, Abkhazia, and from the air. They killed many civilians simply because they were Georgian, and thousands of Georgians were forcibly displaced from their homes. Of course, Georgia “attacked” Russia on their so-called territory, which only Syria, North Korea, and a few “peace-loving” organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah recognize as independent. Do you know how long it takes to gather 50,000 soldiers at the border? No. Russia started preparations two months before their attack. Perhaps the “wise” Putin knew that after two months, small Georgia would decide to attack a global nuclear power 🙏.

But the fact remains that the Georgians were the first to attack, and if it had not been for that attack, nothing would have happened. And yes: Russia did not enter Georgian territory. Abkhazia and Ossetia are not Georgia and have never been Georgia for the past millennium. And Georgians do not live there.
@@teimurazshvelidze-ff4sc The Georgians had been concertrating their forces and shelling South Ossetia for weeks killing dozens of civilians, so of course the Russians were on high alert. After the Georgians invaded South Ossetia they killed hundreds of civilians are drove tens-of-thousands out of their homes. Georgia brought whatever happened to them on themselves. And they haven't tried anything since - so it worked.
So childish. Russian president was telling from the very beginning that he won’t let Georgia and Ukraine join nato. Search for his speech as of 2007. What would you expect if you ignore concerns of nuclear power state and invite in 2008 these countries into nato? I think it was simply win/win combination for US foreign policy. If they join, nato would have more bases surrounding Russia, if Russia interferes US would have a pretext for internationally supported sanctions to weaken Russia. That’s exactly what happened with Georgia, and exactly what is happening with Ukraine.
@@YannisKarageorgiou Leave them alone? Who cared about them untill Bush jr invited them to NATO in 2008? That's the point of no turning back that's the date it all started. Putin was saying "No NATO at Russian borders" for 30 years and you didnt listen, not dont cry.
Chauvinism won't let you see that russian president has no business dictating any other presidents which economic blocs or military alliances they can join. It doesn't take a genius to understand why russia's neighbours are banding together for protection. Russia itself wanted to join NATO and had a NATO base. What's the big deal about it now? Half baked excuse for their fascist foreign policy.
I can’t say anything about the beginning of the conflict (invasion), because I wasn’t there, but after that I personally visited Abkhazia several times and saw that ordinary people don’t really want a future as part of Georgia, they live poorly and understand this, but pride and independence are more important to them than money.
Damn Early Gang here! Hoping this vid is a banger! Will update when I finish Update: Your videos are always improving and honestly it's showing that your whole team is dedicated to working with you to make a awesome video. ❤
As a Bosnian, I can fully relate to Georgia and Georgian people. Georgia is such a beautiful country and Georgian people are wonderful. Sadly such beauty is ignored due to aggressors and neighboring bullies whom seem to only get a kick out of other peoples suffering. Similar case in Bosnia also, different people, same struggle.
or ask the millions of people the soviet union killed? what the f are you talking about, ask the siberian inuits what they think of the russian dictatorship?
he literally asked grandma in the beginning and she said that she is not leaving occupied territory so russians will not take her home and call it south ossetia , and we have 100th of thousands refugees who needed to leave their homes because of this occupation, nativ people who lived there for generations needed to leave and they still believe that they will be back to their land, so why don’t we ask the refugees what they think about it and not russians who are trying to steal our land. and don’t forget that there was russian army fighting georgia and the moskv is controlling that territory so at least let’s acknowledge the truth
@@daduna i have been to Abkhazia, and people there remember the war that was over 30 years ago and they hate Georgians. I don't know how you are going to live in one country with them.
@@bxbqxq that’s is nonsense, we have refugees 300,000 people from abkazia they could go to russia or stay in abkazia but they came here because they know and we all know that we are the same people, russia is limiting there internet access and there education and trying best for us not be united, but no worries they already started coming here, because we are evolving, no corruption, better economy, education, negotiation with EU, and now russia is limiting there energy and limiting there resources and want to sell out there lend to russians, so no worries we never had war with abkazia we had war with russia and we will fix it one day, but i have less hope for russia.
Russia already had peace keeping troops in those two areas. Georgia started the war and Russia stopped them... Wow, the lies in this video are amazing.
@@PhilippSeven You are from Abkhazia? Suspicious how my best friend is half Abkhaz and she tells me everythjng about Russia coming to the land and kicking her out, if you're really Abkhazian take a DNA test, you don't speak act or live Abkhazian, even carry Russian passports.
@@Pyro3009 If all Abkhazians want to be with Georgia, as you say. Who was Georgia at war with in 1992-1993? Russia was not involved in that conflict in the beginning.
@@purplespaceship2417 very interesting! Yes, it would seem this video is american propoganda. The russians have their propoganda and the american/europeans have theirs. It seems like Geogia is definitely a battleground of conflicting propoganda.
Do you know that in the USA they have the same law. One has to register as a foreign agent, It helps to protect democracy...apparently. Maybe Russia and the USA should exchange governments...see who is the most democratic...

I find it amazing that someone who pretends to be objective and compassionate can make a video like this without ever mentioning the plight of South Ossetians, the oppression of Saakashvili that caused the Russian intervention in 2008, as well as the whole long history of the ethnic conflict between Georgians and Ossetians that has lasted for over 100 years. Unfortunately, without this perspective, this video is just another among many CIA propaganda pieces.
I was in high school when they invaded, the news that "Russia invaded georgia" was especially scary for us who were ass at geography

Abkhazia and South Ossetia have historically not seen themselves as georgian. Abkhazia has claimed independence for a long time and South Ossetia wants to reunify with North Ossetia.

I will never stop dreaming of a united Europe, with Georgia as a member.
Thank you very mush Johnny for telling this story, and in general for all the videos you make.
EU =\= Europe. Georgia is a European country whether it's part of EU or not, same with Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, etc.
EU is another sort of dictatorship, one that slowly increases and my country faces every day. But i suppose it preferable over Russia.
I dream of the day when Russia , Ukraine and Georgia are in the EU. All in peace, cooperating and doing trade. But America will never allow this.

Having been to Georgia myself, it's an amazing country but as you said, Georgians are terrified of Russia. They had a saying that a few of them said to me: "Russia doesn't need to send their army to conquer Georgia, they just need to throw all their boots at us and the whole country would be covered". They are very brave, but they very much feel outnumbered.

A video talking about how your country needs the EU?
About you? Are you Abkhazian or Ossetian?
@@PhilippSevenHaha no 😅! Im Georgian, Abkhazians and Ossetians use a Cyrillic script to write so yea
Wasnt Stalin, the former leader of the USSR (Russia) a Georgian?
Yes he was 100% georgian
yep also the su-25 was build in georgia so the lived okey in the udssr they had their invrastructur and their pride and thechnical schools ect
but yes russia was playing the ossetians and abkhazians they said they want to be their own staat so russi was placing peace keepers there and in 2008 the georgians attacked them
and imo wanted to take over the ossetians for some reason and that backfired hard (maybe they wanted to fix their border problems with them so they can join nato coz you cant join with border clashes)
i mean what was the point for georgia? get some village back? imo it could not been a preemtive strike from georgia coz in the end russia just run in and punched them hard but left emediatly after destroying the georgian army so there was no intend to take over georgia from russia
but it makes sens for russia to hold this ossetians and abkhazians territory "for" them so georgia cant join nato and if they join nato they have a foot hold on the other side of the caucasus
from wiki
20 September 1990 - South Ossetia declares independence. The republic remained unrecognized, yet it detached itself from Georgia de facto. In the last years of the Soviet Union, ethnic tensions between Ossetians and Georgians in Georgia's former Autonomous Oblast of South Ossetia (abolished in 1990) and between Ossetians and the Ingush in North Ossetia evolved into violent clashes that left several hundred dead and wounded and created a large tide of refugees on both sides.
Yes but he considered himself a Russian. He didn't even want Georgia to join as an individual SSR. Instead he wanted it's identity diminished as a part of the TransCaucasian SSR.
@@gazpachopolice7211 He was fighting for multinational Soviet Union, he didn't want people to be divided by race or ethnicity, that's why he wanted what u said(if its true...) Today "Most Progressive" Woke powers have the same narrative by the way:))) So Stalin was Woke MF

What about the people of Abkhazia and the people of Ossetia? Why does the West think that the people of Taiwan are worthy of independence while the people of Abkhazia and Ossetia are not? They are not even Georgians. And the Taiwanese are Chinese.
@@PhilippSeven Apkhazia and Samachablo are Georgian lands that have always been ethnically and culturally Georgian throughout history. Georgians are natives to these lands but were kicked out by the ossetians and aphsus, who are not natives there nontheless. Georgians civilians WERE KICKED OUT OF THEIR HOMES in these territories, do you understand that? Yet THEY'RE the victims in your eyes? Buddy, what do you mean they want independence? They want independence on MY lands? On a land that doesn't belong to them? Buddy, this is the equivalent of some Turkish communities declaring "independence" from Germany... IN GERMANY. Like. Who would support that, other than Turkey? Also they clearly aren't independent. They're very much depended on Russia.
@@TimtheEnchanter25 Kingdom of Abkhazia was a vassal state of Byzantium, and it belonged including territories of western Georgia. So here Abkhazia can claim Georgian territories rather than vice versa.

If Russia attacked these territories, why is the Georgian government now ready to recognize that they started this war and genocide of the Ossetian people. And they are ready to apologize for what they have done. If they are not guilty, why apologize to Ossetians?
It's either apology or fall out a window
Cause current government is Russia controlled with Russia's made billionaire oligarch sitting on the throne, they say and do what Russia wants, they started slowly with Russian narative now they increased it in that level, you can see whats happening in Tbilisi for that reason
as a Ukrainian, thank you for this. It's a sad story and even today Georgia as a country is afraid it can get worse, and they have the shittiest government but the most amazing people. The world should know that russians won't stop until someone stops them. Help us, Georgia, Moldova, Armenia, all the 'imperial' seized lands.
also, the election is right around the corner and russians are literally threatening them even more. Just today I saw photos of billboards that had pictures of destroyed Ukrainian cities, bombed bridges, leveled buildings, and the slogan that said 'choose peace', which sounds more like 'get on your knees and don't even think about it'.
Though it would be interesting to call the bluff with Ukraine happening. Armenia didn't receive help from Russia, and is now turning towards Iran
Thank god it was Russians and not NATO. If Russia behaved like NATO they would be already in kiev with a million Ukrainian casualties.

I wish someone would do something about Russian expansionism. They are not satisfied with just acquiring vast tracts of land.
Only in this case Georgia attacked Russia. First, Georgia sent troops into South Ossetia, destroying cities like Tskhinvali, and then attacked Russian peacekeepers who were maintaining peace in the region at Georgia's invitation. As you probably know, this is the unleashing of a war, for which Georgia and the countries that incited it are responsible. Take, for example, the confession of George Bush Jr., who told Vovan and Lexus that Saakashvili (the President of Georgia who unleashed the war against Russia and is now in a Georgian prison) was a puppet ruler installed by Western countries after a coup d'etat.

As a Bangladeshi, I deeply resonate with the challenges faced by Georgia in its struggle for independence and sovereignty. The parallels between our countries are striking, from the historical influence of larger powers to the ongoing geopolitical tensions. Just as Georgia has bravely resisted Russian pressure, Bangladesh has also faced its own share of external threats.
I admire the Georgian people's resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Your unwavering pursuit of a democratic and independent future serves as an inspiration to us all. Let us stand together in solidarity, supporting each other's aspirations for freedom and self-determination.

If I'm not mistaken, you're talking about India. I'm an Indian myself. See, brother, I agree that maybe the BJP government has interfered in your politics, but that’s just for peace. I mean, every country wants a friendly government in their neighbor, which is why every country interferes in others' politics. Even the USA tries to influence our politics, but yeah, I agree it's wrong. And whatever Sheikh Hasina did is the worst thing any leader can do. Talking about the dam water, it was not done intentionally.

All interviewees are young urban dwellers who speak very good English. It is obvious that they are people with pro-Western and pro-European views. There were no in-depth interviews with older residents and those who do not speak English. Even if there are only 20% of them why not ask their opinion?

@@AddieHilton
Yes, of course ♥️. Suddenly, Russia has 50,000 soldiers with tanks, artillery, and aircraft on the only road connecting to Georgia. A week before, they evacuated their civilians and began firing at Georgian villages. The day Georgia responded, these 50,000 soldiers immediately started advancing, bombing the entire Georgian territory from the sea, from another occupied region, Abkhazia, and from the air. They killed many civilians simply because they were Georgian, and thousands of Georgians were forcibly displaced from their homes.
Of course, Georgia “attacked” Russia on their so-called territory, which only Syria, North Korea, and a few “peace-loving” organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah recognize as independent.
Do you know how long it takes to gather 50,000 soldiers at the border? No. Russia started preparations two months before their attack. Perhaps the “wise” Putin knew that after two months, small Georgia would decide to attack a global nuclear power 🙏.

@@teimurazshvelidze-ff4sc There is such a thing as intelligence. Of course the Russians knew something was brewing. But the fact remains that the Georgians were the first to attack, and if it had not been for that attack, nothing would have happened. And yes: Russia did not enter Georgian territory. Abkhazia and Ossetia are not Georgia and have never been Georgia for the past millennium. And Georgians do not live there.
@@teimurazshvelidze-ff4sc The Georgians had been concertrating their forces and shelling South Ossetia for weeks killing dozens of civilians, so of course the Russians were on high alert.

What would you expect if you ignore concerns of nuclear power state and invite in 2008 these countries into nato? I think it was simply win/win combination for US foreign policy. If they join, nato would have more bases surrounding Russia, if Russia interferes US would have a pretext for internationally supported sanctions to weaken Russia. That’s exactly what happened with Georgia, and exactly what is happening with Ukraine.
