Well hopefully sub-conscious messianism toward the non-two tier flat tax rate world is returning to conscious pragmatism and dour non-determinism in Georgia and in terms of its Georgia/ Russia relations.  Let it be understood that the stability of the diplomatic platform, the political currency which affords coming diplomatic events between Georgia and Russia is most certainly the result of the recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia by Russia, Pacific and South American Countries, if not others as well.   It is this hand stretched out beneath the surface of the water that the horrified sub-conscious of Georgia saw as the light of political certainty during its ponderous flail in the general direction of the then impending Western Financial Crisis.  It is surely because elections in South Ossetia and Abkhazia are insulated in spite of scandal and because Russia went as far afield as Vanuatu in the South Pacific to win the recognition of these two wonderful new countries that Georgia can feel the warm light of a glinted sun and the hope for a great and powerful partner into the future.

Ivanishvili is better than Saakashvili but still often gets called somewhat as duplicitous individual. Read Patrick Downey’s take on him. Downey  used to be tasked with teaching English to the children of this Georgian oligarch till 2008. Mr. Downey who got later branded as trouble-maker in his native NY and generally in the US, has later on fled to Russia and currently is seeking an asylum in Moscow. Last I heard his application for asylum was still being processed. Priorly, Patrick had made an outrageous revelation about Ivanishvili getting hefty (multimillion!! ) donations from the American government that lead to his own persecution by the US government. First, he attempted  to relocate to Ireland but his bid for any protection on Irish government was unsuccessful. He left to Russia. He got interested in Orthodoxy, and after having been a catechumen for several months, became accepted into ROC and now intends to live in Russia.

Georgia has to arrest Shakashvilli and send him to Russia for prosecution of ordering killings of Russian peace keepers. Second able it’s for majority of the people from break away republics to decide on what they want after all Georgia gambled with aggression and failed twice on retaking those territories.
