DISINFO: The US can leave Georgia just like Afghanistan
SUMMARY
The US can leave Georgia just like Afghanistan
Georgia is now in a severe crisis. The events in Afghanistan demonstrated that the US is no longer playing a major role in the Middle East, and the “Afghan tsunami” may even reach the South Caucasus, including Georgia.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the US presence in Europe, portraying various countries as puppets of Washington.
It is speculative to compare the situation in Afghanistan and Georgia. There are no US military forces deployed on the territory of Georgia. The relations between Washington and Tbilisi are based on mutual respect and cooperation. As it is officially noted: “The United States is committed to helping Georgia deepen Euro-Atlantic ties and strengthen its democratic institutions. The United States supports Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders and condemns Russia’s 2008 invasion of the Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which remain occupied by Russia today.”
See similar cases alleging that After Afghanistan, the US could give up on the Baltic states; that The US should leave Ukraine as it did with Afghanistan; that the Afghan scenario could repeat itself in Ukraine; that US proteges in Ukraine will have to flee like Ashraf Ghani; that Ukrainian Nazis are equivalent to Taliban.
