The legitimate president of Georgia Salome Zourabichvili has chosen to vacate the presidential palace.

Putin’s power grab is complete.

🇬🇪 💔

@randahl I doubt there was much option TBH. But I can't see the protests stopping either.

@briancs @randahl

The protests will continue and I think Putin is weak enough to fold here.

@randahl
I think President Zourabichvili did the right thing. There would have been a big dramatic show of strength by the usurpers, she would have been arrested, maybe some of her supporters would have been hurt or worse. Now she’s at large, able to inspire and lead from among the people, instead of from prison. And putin’s power grab is not complete until all the world’s nations accept the counterfeit government. #StandWithSakartvelo
@randahl Man, I guess standing around in the streets really doesn't do much about despots put into power by hostile governments after all huh?
You could apply what I've said to any protest anywhere in the world. It's nothing personal but it's the truth. Every time a peaceful protest pops up a bad man smiles somewhere on Earth.
@B_Whitewind absolutely not true. Ukraine is a prime example of that.
