First of all, an interested one should learn about Georgia's economy
and trade. Non-secret statistics tell the country's most important
trade partners are Turkey and Russia. Then, the N3 and N4 are America
and China. Volume of Georgia's trade turnover with America and China,
in sum, is still about 1.5 times less than their volume of trade with
Turkey and Russia, in sum. Note that importance of Georgia's trade
with Europe comes only after these four non-European ones.
One more thing, look at the statistics exposing foreigners from what
countries are visiting Georgia the most. The N1 and N2 are naturally
Turkey and Russia again (about equal numbers of visitors). Then, the
Georgia's Top 10 includes - besides few ex-USSR neighboring countries
- also Israel, Iran and India. Recent data also show fastly growing
flows from China and KSA. Note that Europe doesn't appear in these
top figures at all. Total number of visitors to Georgia from the EU
(together with the English Island) is only ~15% of the Russia+Turkey
visitors. Europe is far from being in the first place.
The statistics indicate that by now there's no natural prerequisite
for Europe to be Georgia's the most important partner. The Euroscum
(the dominant part of the current Europe's political class) might take
steps to increase the role of the EU in trade, other exchanges with
Georgia, but such steps would require spending money. Instead, the EU
policy makers seek to spend lesser money through bribing Georgia's
politicians and funding some of their mass media, NGOs etc in order to
make them noising "pro-Europe". Such policies are immoral, I believe
God will punish the Euroscum. The God's punishment may also indirectly
affect the Eurosheep (the regular Euros), so it would be better for
the regular Euros to somehow curb their immoral Euroscum.
Also, one should better know cultural sense of Georgia. Historically,
it evolved as an East Orthodox culture, after adoption of Christianity
in 4th century, long before most of Europe did. At the time, the
proto-Georgia formation was in Persian (Sasanian) vassalage. There was
also a strong influence of the [East] Roman Empire. Besides, the Great
Eurasian Steppe (to the north of Caucasus) was an area long dominated
by pagan nomads, which also influenced Caucasus throughout times.
Very first wave of the Arabic-Islamic expansion put the proto-Georgia
under Islamic rule on the outskirts of the Arab Caliphate, and then,
throughout many centuries, it was either within a vassalage or under
strong impact from more powerful Islamic neighbours. Adjacence to the
Caucasus ridge didn't allow big medieval powers to put the area under
tough and complete control, but, on the other hand, the mountainous
terrain was not so favorable for civilizational developments. The only
period - for about a century - when the medieval Georgia was really
independent and relatively prosperous, happened in 12th century. The
key reason was the beginning of the European Crusades, that made
mid-Eastern Muslims more busy with the Crusaders, thus the Crusaders
temporarily distracted them from the Christians of Caucasus.
In 13th century, the catastrophic Mongol-led nomadic invasion finished
the Georgia's Golden Age. Soon it found itself a peripheral province
of Ilkhanate. It gained autonomy and restoration through a series of
rebellions, but then in late 14th century, several raids of Tamerlan's
hordes made Georgia devastated again. In the next centuries, Georgia
was heavily dependent on the Ottomans and Persians, suffered from wars
with other regional Caucasus groups as well as from internecine feuds.
Since 17th century, there were three Georgian formations ("tsardoms")
somehow dependent on Turkey and Iran. Since 18th century, Russian role
in the Caucasus affairs began to increase, so many in Georgian ruling
class started to see it beneficial for Georgians to go under Russia's
protectorate. In 19th century, Georgia had been incorporated into the
Russian Empire.
Given this history, one may find it better to consider the nominally
Christian Georgia (and Armenia there, too) "semi-Islamized". It's
historically natural that Georgians have many settings close to what
is characteristic of Persians and Turks, and then - in more ancient
layer - of Arabs. Georgian culture represents distinct traits of the
mid-Eastern flavour. Eg. if one compares Georgian and Arabic singings,
and then listens to Persian singing, then this one discovers that
Persian music style is like a transition link, in between Georgian
and Arabic styles. Another example is, among Georgians there's a known
custom of "honor killing" <https://is.gd/AvXxVZ> (one of such cases
was recently in the news <https://tinyurl.com/2dxuqzab>), typical for
the mid-Eastern Muslims. From west-European perspective, the Georgians
as a people, by their temper and manners, might look somehow akin to
the south Italians and Berbers (also the Russia's Thiefs in Law
<https://clck.ru/3FFNCy> used to be ethnic Georgians). One more noted
thing is that regular Georgians en masse aren't enthusiastic about the
contemporary "western progressive" degenerative trends (pro-LGBT etc).
Georgia's currently ruling "Georgian Dream" political party won its
first majority in parliament in 2012, and since then voters in Georgia
had repeatedly confirmed, through democratic voting, their preference
for this party. Political program, agenda of this party were long
known before, and they haven't made sharp turns lately. EU's official
observers were repeatedly present at the Georgia's elections, and the
observers repeatedly "validated" those elections (including the very
recent election). Thus there's no ground to claim something sudden and
irregular happened in Georgia. However, the Euroscum and the deceitful
media serving them promote the false narrative of illegitimacy.
The Georgian Dream party are sort of Georgian nationalists, they like
Trump, and they are seeking for more balanced / realistic policies for
national economy and trade. It seems they also have taken into account
the bad example of the Ukraine's "economic association with the EU" in
2014, which did not bring real economic benefits neither for Ukraine's
middle class nor for poorer people. As it's described above, Georgia's
life and economy is closely connected with regional partners (Russia
is just one of them). These partners won't be happy if Georgia focuses
too much on Europe to the detriment of relations with them. In turn,
Georgia's businesses won't be happy to ruin their existing connections
and practices because of Europe. The Euroscum dislike it, as they hope
to impose an anti-democratic puppet regime in the country, and make
regular people as miserable as they managed to do in the Ukraine case.
The recent protests in Georgia may seem picturesque, but they do not
represent majority of their population. Will of the Georgia's majority
was revealed before, repeatedly through voting. The false narratives
about "illegitimate parliament" emerged in the public discourse only
after these protests were orchestrated. Once again the Euroscum employ
the standard set of garbles, what they had employed before to justify
the crazy Ukraine's violence. But, in this time, much larger number of
people can grasp the fact that the claims are mosty shameless garbles.
And so far the Georgia's state structures don't seem demoralized. The
Russian Kremlins, in turn, don't show great enthusiasm as they can see
that the Georgia's government it not really "pro-Russia".
Acceptance Georgia into the EU, in the foreseeable future, seems to be
very unlikely prospect. The true agenda is to keep this "prestigious"
topic as the dangling carrot in order to matipulate Georgia so that it
might serve as yet one tool against Russia. It does not seem good, and
I believe God will punish EU politicians for their immoral baseness.

The Atlanticist-backed 2014 coup in Kiev was violent, unlawful and
anti-democratic, it raised destructive extremist forces that led to
destructive consequences. Today, the EU politicians have no way other
than to recognize their mistakes and misdeeds and repent. Repentance is
the only way to sanity.
