    Maybe the emphasis should be on joining the EU, and postpone the mention of NATO to a more propitious time. Otherwise, the scenario is too analogous to Ukraine's.

    TOP SECRET: United States Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) was enacted in 1938. FARA requires certain agents of foreign principals who are engaged in political activities or other activities specified under the statute to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities.

    Ask RT and Press TV how well their compliance with FARA went... I really do like the part where he scrambles to explain why the protests will continue despite them getting their way. Grass roots, yeah? Comical.

    The Georgian CIA agents are working overtime. Similar 'foreign agents' law exist in US, Hungary and many other countries. It is not about EU membership it is all about another attempt of getting Georgia into NATO.
