Georgia Is Targeted For Regime Change Over Its Refusal To Open A “Second Front” Against Russia

The West wants to punish Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili for his pragmatic refusal to open up a “second front” in the US’ proxy war on Russia after he publicly exposed this plot in early December while also pledging never to arm Kiev either. The artificially manufactured furor over Georgia’s US-inspired foreign agents bill is nothing but a smokescreen for disguising the real reason behind Tuesday’s riots.

🤚 Assault groups of PMC "Wagner" entered the territory of the "Artemovsky Metal Processing Plant" (AZOM) from the north and begin to move deep into the territory of the industrial enterprise.

@brussinf and colleagues have repeatedly written about the complexity of the assault on the object.

AZOM is a huge area with dense industrial development and a network of underground utilities that goes underground for dozens of floors.

🎙 Russian FM Sergey Lavrov on the situation in Georgia and the Western hypocricy:

🇬🇪 The situation in Tbilisi looks very much like Maidan in Kiev.

❗️ There is no doubt that the law demanding registration of the NGOs, if their budgets have foreign funding of just over 20%, was just a pretext to make an actual attempt at a violent coup.

🌐 The Western stance, of the US State Department, pompously declaring inadmissibility of such treatment of the civil society, raises nothing but a smile. These are the “rules” the West has been talking about. We talk about the international law, the West talks about the rules-based world order.

🇬🇪/🇲🇩 There you have it – the Georgian opposition is not only allowed, it has to do whatever it pleases. Meanwhile, protests against the ruling government in Moldova are being condemned. Because the Georgian opposition reflects the Western interests, and the opposition in Moldova doesn't, while the Western interests stand with the Moldovan government.

President Volodymyr Zelensky, in response to the petition, instructed Prime Minister Denis Shmyhal to "thoroughly work out" the possibility of renaming Russia to Muscovy

This is stated in Zelensky's response to the corresponding petition on the President's website.

"The issue raised in the petition requires careful study both in the historical and cultural context and taking into account possible international legal consequences. In view of the above, I turned to the Prime Minister of Ukraine with a request for its comprehensive study, in particular, with the involvement of scientific institutions and informing me and the author of the petition about the results," Zelensky said in a response.

It appears that there are no other problems in Ukraine, apart from the wrong naming of a big neighbour...

Major US tech bank implodes
The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank is considered the biggest bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis
RT
US tech and start-up focused Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was shut down by regulators on Friday after depositors rushed to withdraw their money amid worries over the bank’s financial health. According to an announcement from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), California regulators have taken control of the lender’s deposits and transferred the assets to a newly created entity, the Deposit Insurance Bank of Santa Clara.

SVB, a major bank for venture-backed firms, ranked as the 16th biggest US lender at the end of last year, with about $209 billion in total assets and $175.4 billion in deposits. However, according to market analysts, the lender has been under pressure lately due to fears of a recession, higher interest rates, and a slowdown in the market for initial public offerings. These factors made it harder for start-ups to raise additional cash and led companies to draw down their deposits at SVB and similar lenders.

Earlier this week, the bank announced that it had lost $1.8 billion on asset sales made in an attempt to raise capital to offset deposit outflows, and planned to sell some $2.25 billion in new shares. The announcement, however, sparked more withdrawals. As a result, the bank’s shares plunged 60% on Thursday, and another 60% in premarket trading on Friday. The FDIC was forced to intervene and halt the sales as depositors were withdrawing their money in such a rush that the bank’s insolvency became unavoidable, market experts say.

The FDIC said SVB offices will reopen on Monday so that insured depositors will be able to withdraw deposits. However, according to regulators, 89% of the bank's deposits were not insured, which means that billions of dollars may now be stranded. According to Reuters sources, the agency is currently seeking another bank to merge with SVB to safeguard unsecured deposits.

The collapse of the tech-focused lender and its possible repercussions has been widely discussed on social media. One Twitter user suggested that it should acquire SVB “and become a digital bank,” drawing many comments. They included one from Twitter owner Elon Musk, who wrote that he is “open to the idea.”

SVB's failure is considered the largest collapse in the US banking system since the Washington Mutual implosion, the event that sparked the 2008 financial crisis. SVB’s collapse has already sent shockwaves through European and Asian stock markets, which plummeted on Friday as investors started offloading US bank stocks due to liquidity concerns.

Prime Minister of Finland offered decommissioned fighter jets to Kyiv without consulting the president

Arriving on a visit to Ukraine on March 10, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin began to make strange statements. In Helsinki, to put it mildly, they were surprised.

In particular, the head of the Finnish government said that the country's authorities are ready to consider the transfer of decommissioned F / A-18 Hornet fighters to Ukraine.

“I think we can consider the issue of the Hornets, whether it will be possible to transfer them to Ukraine and what kind of preparation will be required in connection with this,” Marin said.

Today it turned out that the words about fighters are her personal initiative, not coordinated with the President and Minister of Defence of Finland.

“The issue (the transfer of fighter jets to Kyiv) was not discussed with anyone,” Finnish President Sauli Niinistö, who is on a visit to the United States, said on March 11.

“Marin didn’t talk to me about this idea beforehand. I would have warned her,” Finnish Defence Minister Antti Kaikkonen commented just as unequivocally on the speech of the head of government in Kyiv.

The head of the department added that Marin did not discuss this issue with the commander of the armed forces of Finland, Timo Kivinen.

German railway stopped delivering humanitarian aid to Ukraine free of charge

A subsidiary of the German railway carrier Deutsche Bahn, DB Cargo, engaged in freight transportation and logistics, has stopped delivering humanitarian cargo to Ukraine free of charge since January 1.

According to Spiegel, companies that want to send aid to Ukraine will have to pay full shipping costs, which now stands at up to 6,000 euros per container.

Industry sources speculate that the cause is a long-standing dispute between DB Cargo and the German Ministry of Transport regarding funding for transport.

The Deutsche Bahn subsidiary has applied for government support several times because it can receive limited third-party funding. In 2022 alone, DB Cargo spent about 5 million euros to transport humanitarian aid.

Prigozhin (PMC Wagner founder) said that he would run for president in 2024, but not in the way you may thought

"I am making a political coming out. I just had found in me political ambitions, looking at everything around me, and I made a decision in 2024 to run for president ... for president of Ukraine. I will compete with Zelensky and Poroshenko, if I win — everything will be fine. No need in ammunition any more".
