    Foreign Agents Registration Act, FARA) - закон США, принятый в 1938 году, требующий, чтобы иностранные агенты в США, представляющие интересы иностранных держав в «политическом или квазиполитическом качестве», раскрывали свои отношения с иностранным правительством и информацию о соответствующей деятельности и финансах. Почему Америке можно было принять этот закон ещё 100 лет назад, а Грузии нельзя?!!! МИ-6 пожалуйста отстаньте от Грузии!!!

    So you don't understand what's happening? A far-right government is trying to pass a bill, even though something like over 75% of the people do not want it passed, all to tank their chances of getting into the EU. It's not a circus. Rather, it's a fight to free themselves from Russia. If you don't understand why that would be worth fighting for, you obviously don't understand enough about Russia.
