If there is one person in Georgia who deserves to be sanctioned, it's Georgian Dream chairman Bidzina Ivanishvili. He's the Russian backed billionaire puppet master behind the whole show.

And the U.S. have just sanctioned him. Yes!

This was brought up in the House of Commons in the U.K. by MP Blair McDougal earlier this week, but hasn't had much attention.

Georgian minigarch Irakli Rukladze is the director of U.K. firm Hunnewell. He runs Georgian propaganda T.V. channel Imedi. He is responsible for the main media arm of the illegitimate, human rights trampling Georgian Dream party.

He does all of this from the comfort of his London home and is also a U.S. citizen.

WTF.

According to this, the 'Deep State' controls not just America but the whole world and only Donald Trump can save us by de-oligarchising everywhere, but he's got a massive fight on his hands and the rest of us in the free world need to support him.

Georgian PM Irakli Khobakidze is either a very confused man or he's just in it for the lols.

"Georgia's so called PM Kobakhidze now says the state will compensate all financial losses of the U.S. and U.K. sanctioned persons.

This is a defiant, open anti-American & anti-British stance and disregard to human rights, but also an attempt to prevent regime defections in fear of sanctions. Which means that sanctions have a serious potential to work, and we need more of them."

The illegitimate Georgian government has responded to U.S. and U.K. sanctions in typical illegitimate Georgian government style.

The sanctioned Interior Minister Vakhtang Gomelauri has been promoted to Deputy Prime Minister, and the sanctioned heads of the police command have all been given the Award of Honour.

If it sounds like a ludicrous bravado move which the Russians would do, that's because it is.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Monday Brussels had put forward a list of Georgians to sanction over a crackdown on pro-Western protesters, but Hungary was set to block the measures.

“We have proposed the list for sanctions for these people who are… using really force and violence against the opposition,” Kallas said ahead of a meeting of EU foreign ministers.

“But everybody needs to agree to the list, and we are not there yet.”

Lithuania and Estonia have imposed more sanctions on Georgia, including the Georgian PM Khobakidze.
This is in addition to sanctions already imposed by Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Ukraine last week.

These countries are not waiting for a consensus or whatever it is the other countries in the world are waiting for.

It's past time for the world to react to the impending dictatorship in Georgia.

Sanctions. Now!
