what what what? A
Russian armed overthrow took place in Georgia? Tell me all about it! I recall it all so very different, with Saakashvili never having been out of office (to the great regret of his people whom he used clubs on later to keep them down and in line).
We had a long thread back in that year, on the Georgia war. You may want to look it up again despite its partial nastiness. I think ti even were several threads. History ran along a little different than what you indicate there. Even the tame and lame EU later found Saakashvili to have been the bad guy and liar. Why do you think he was avoided, and persona non grata since then?
And no, I am not ironic.
