    Wait, Putin isn’t even done with Ukraine and he is already starting another “special operation” in Georgia?

      They’ve already occupied part of Georgia. I don’t think there’s actual fighting going on the (though there might be), but the Russians keep moving the actual, physical border markers farther into Georgian territory every year. After Ukraine was invaded, fought back and started making headway against Russia, Georgia kinda stuck it’s head up and said they’d love to be liberated too - except they never really did anything about it themselves, just mentioned it’d be nice if the Russians could be made to leave Georgian territory.

      To be fair, I’m not sure Georgia is actually in a position to do much of anything, but with the Russians so occupied in Ukraine, it seems the most advantageous time in decades to at least try.

      This is the aftermath of an earlier imperialistic conquest special operation, they are putting the port in an occupied part of Georgia.
