In the words of the great Gattsu: “Tear gas ain’t shit!”
You are a man of culture my friend
Gattsu BASED
Thank you for covering the story in Georgia we are still protesting and won't give up. The police force and their mobs have been very aggressive towards people and this caused an even bigger protest against them. So hopefully we will succeed.
Respect to you.
Wish you all the best
I wish the best to people of Georgia, cheers from Poland, feel you on government doing shady moves when it comes to questionable laws…
I hope Georgia can keep its freedom! All the best from America!🇬🇪🇺🇸
You are protesting because you don't want to know who is funding your NGOs? Protesting against transparency?

Imagine being so cool you save your life with your own groundbreaking medicine.
Maybe it happened too late for this episode, but it might be worth it to make a video about the implications of the attempted assasination of Slovakian prime minister Robert Fico (at this time, it's not certain if he'll be ok, he's fighting for his life but let's hope he'll be ok)
Yeah very shocking news, they will probably cover it in nearby video. An assassination attempt on a prime minister is huge.
The video shows him getting shot multiple times, including in the head. His security detail looked shock and didn't quickly respond.
To be honest I don’t know much about Slovakia. I’d wish any man good health ideally. But it seems him and the country itself is siding closer with Russia. And that’s gonna inevitably make people hate Slovakia with the Ukraine war going on. Therefore if he is pro Russian it’s probably best he doesn’t make it

There is always HOPE
As a German I hope Georgia will becomr a EU member if they want to be a EU member. It only makes sense if population is very pro EU. Otherwise it is a pain in the ass .
If they get to be the first non-european nation to enter in the EU, this will be interesting
@@gabgames9025 They kind of are European though.
The population will not be super pro eu after everyone migrates to germany.
They are fairly pro-EU. I think they view the EU in much the way as the Ukrainians do: as an important Bulwark against Russia.
@@yougoslaviayeah “kind of”

Stop saying some stupid things. Exactly FSB and CIA are using NGO's to polarize society and politics. Georgia and its population deserve to know, how much money they receive from whom and how they spend it. This bill obliges NGO's to fill financial declaration and make it public.
You can read the bill, it only 3 pages.

elected government passing a law oh no must be RUSSIA
@@vasilijesamardzic4151 it’s a russian (style) law. Not a law enforced by russia.
That’s not hard to understand. Are you that dense?
"Would require NGOs to disclose funding sources" is not the problem here. Georgian law uses the same vague language as 2012 Russian law, which is how Putin suppresses opposing views.
exactly it is a masked law
The whistleblowers and the Ministry of Justice clause also. Nobody should talk about the LAW without having read the LAW, but Russian demagogue propaganda trolls keep implying only one part of the law which is declaring the income from the outside sources.
It is murican law to start with 🤡 Smth that is not being talked about
@@TarasPorosukLmfao America must live in your head rent-free 😂🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
@@nikolozi8265 so allowing NGOs to run a mock allows Russia to also fund for pro-kremlin elected officials, which in turn are using this influence to vote for limiting NGO influence. So I can’t understand why Georgians are upset about this bill. Is it just because Russia installed it too. But Russia is its own influence, and Georgians are their own influence outside of any countries hand
Politicians being out of touch?
Say it aint so
I'll tell you this much Georgia definitely deserves to be fully independent from Russia so ❤ from the 🇺🇸 to 🇬🇪, I hope your dreams of joining the EU will be fulfilled.👍
This law will make it fully independent since it will reveal NGOs, which are receiving funding from Russia
this must be what Russia meant by NATO's aggressive expansion, they are trying to isolate these countries from Russia.

Another news has happened in Slovakia where Prime Minister Fico was shot and wounded while heading for a goverment meeting at the House of Culture in the central slovak town of Hlandová. He is currently in hospital for treatment.
I think it happened too late to be covered today. Pretty sure it'd be the top story otherwise.
Georgia ❤
Wait I've seen this story before, the doctor who tested his cure on himself is going to get evil superpowers as a side-effect and go insane.
Was there any animal DNA in that vaccine?
I am convinced this channel would get more views if it was more obvious that the video wasn't just talking about one thing. I often think I'm not interested until I see the video a second time in my feed and notice that it's tldr daily. How about a thumbnail with three sections indicating each story?
5:17 "switfly" cut off by the west. Now that was funny.
Every country and people should have the right to know who's funding NGO's in their country .
Just never have names up on screen so no one knows how badly you’re messing them up.
So sad to hear about scollia’s upcoming jump from a window
No "boots on the ground' but the boots are on the dock distributing aid, and that dock is attached to the ground. but that doesnt count apparently.
Affects accuracy
You're doing a bad job giving reasoning as to why the Georgian bill is bad.
So far all the facts that you've presented to me is that 'the Georgian gov wants to make citizens more informed of other countries trying to influence them,' and 'other countries that want to influence Georgia are upset about it'
That doesn't give me any legitimate reason why the law might be bad. Does it ban people "associated" with other countries? Does it make it easier to ban them? Does it cut off funding for them or access to public resources in some manner?
You say that "critics fear that it will be used to crack down [on opposition]" but how? I feel that your coverage of the event could be better.
Someone in the comments said that the law being vague is a big concern, which is atleast a decent point, though still I am unsure as to what happens to the people who are labeled foreign agents?
Farage to become minister? They really considering that naysayer as a minister? 😂
I don't understand, how this is a bad law. Surely countries should be able to control influence from abroad?
They already amended the law, now it also applies to usual people
❤❤❤
2:18 The Commissioner's name is Oliver Vasarhelyi, not Varieli and he did not make such a statement. He had his name removed from Borrell's letter. The EU as a whole didn't make a statement as a whole because of Hungary's veto and Vasarhelyi happens to hail from Hungary.
Law on paper might be a good idea but in practice when it’s used that’s when the stuff turns ugly. It’s literally how all laws are made until you put it into actual practice and you see how it’s actually being used from country to country.
The fuck US is so afraid of sending peacekeeping forces to Gaza? Is peace there bad for US?
I will suggest you to watch Ryan Macbeth's video regarding it on why it's not feasible. In fact, another faction besides HAMAS that is also in Gaza is a more viable one.
Not to mention, people are already making things up with the US supplying them food by making up stories that it's expired, what more on sending peacekeepers to begin with?
It's because anytime we get involved we get yelled at and reminded of an imperial past which most Americans don't support anymore. You can't tell at us when we're involved, then yell at us when we aren't.
It's mostly because America is afraid of alienating local powers at the moment they were to be severely overstretched (they have to deal with Ukraine, preparing for a confrontation in Taiwan, and political polarization when dealing with both Gaza and Ukraine).
Georgia has unfortunately probably put off their EU entrance decades id say
Nope: 1 out of 5. Keep you posted.
Somebody please explain to me why is it controversial to disclose your source of funding?
Because it will reveal CIA funding to politicians and prevent the same tragedy in Ukraine from happening again in Geogria 😊😊😊
Netanjahu isn't the president, but the prime minister
Very confused regarding the medical story: a glioblastoma is not a subtype of melanoma, it’s its own primary cancer of brain tissue, not skin (melanocytes - melanoma)
More details on the bill should be included. Disclosing funding sources of ngos sounds pretty agreeable... There must be more to it?
It's not about disclosing it - there are already laws to make financials public - it mandates that if your finances have above 20% funding originating from abroad you have to declare yourself a "foreign agent". Russia uses this same law to suppress opposition media.
@@GRegBellay So hypothetical:
CNN suddenly has a 25% funding from Alq**da, how fast do you think US will shut them down while crying "Foreign Agent" and threat to National Security.
So why is it 75% from EU or US is OK? That's a definition of meddling.
Let not forget that it was the US that started labeling media as "Foreign Agent". Russia just pushed it further.
@@GRegBellayto be fair that's exactly how all western security laws are worded. That's why if live in a western nation everytime you visit a website or digital channel of say RT, CBN, CCTV etc it displays which government funds them.
It literally requires an average of 5% of your funding to be from China or US government to be classified as an agent of said nation, which is lower than the 20% in Georgia.
So it's kinda dumb to say the Georgian law is anti democratic and anti-EU if those same countries have the same law for over 15 years now with even lower required sums to be declared a foreign agent.
@@dinte215 I do not claim to be an authority on the matter, I just noted explanation given to why certain folks find it problematic.
Are you sure about the foreign agent thing being part of Western laws? I don't even know where start checking, it's just I never noticed online newspapers say "We are a foreign agent". I'm sure TLDR has a significant chunck of their income from outside of the UK, but I don't see the foreign agent label?
How could Rees-Mogg's comment not a funny news section
Prime minister Netanyahu*
The trouble with adding Tory and Reform poll ratings together is it assumes voters of either will vote for the new union. UK politics is fairly tribalist and two party, so someone voting Reform is protesting against the Tories, won't vote Labour, and won't vote for a Tory dominated Tory+Reform union.
Just a small correction: Netanyahu is a Prime Minister, and not a Presindent.

Doctor Scolyer was researching melanoma, a type of skin cancer originating from melanocytes.
He was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer originating from astrocytes (a type of brain supportive cells, not neurons).
They are two completely different tumours. Cancer isn't a single disease.
So when you mention that he "was diagnosed with a melanoma of his own", you are technically wrong
U mean prime Minister netanyahu not president

it will always be hard to create a peacekeeping force for Palestine as the demographic people's of the areas around it dont want to be responsible, and when eventually the west takes the responsibility they will scream neo-colonialism and western oppression.

Geographically speaking, Georgia is not even part of Europe. The Greater Caucasus Range separates Europe from Asia in the area between the Black and Caspian seas. Almost all Georgian territory lies south of this divide. EU membership should be out of the question.
Yes. 0 out of 5. Ut is maga.

How to solve "The Ukraine crisis" Take your troops out of Ukraine, It's that simple :O
Then lets see how far i go excatly. The georgian regime is russia baised.
"Verbally assaulted" lol as if that was a real crime
Literally the same law (if not worse) exists in USA and nobody is making any fuss about it.
There’s a difference between what laws theoretically could do and what they are actually used for in the US if the law was used the way, the way it could theoretically be used in Georgia. It would go before the court and absolutely be struck down as unconstitutional. So it is not used the way. it likely would be used in Georgia because it’s designed to be abused that way.

Is the Georgian bill really that bad? The States could use this bill for AIPAC.
The label of "Foreign Funds" is not for transparency to the public, it's just there to make it an easy target to be cracked down by government forces, that's how Russia used it
would be better to get rid of the influence of the muslim far-right first.
Lel it depends on who runs the system.....
The US has the same law as in Georgia and in Russia. Here is the description of the US law:
“The Foreign Agents Registration Act provides the public with an opportunity to be informed of the identity of persons engaging in political activities on behalf of foreign governments, foreign political parties and other foreign principals, so that their activities can be evaluated in light of their associations.”
So, why is it OK for the US to have such a law and why is it NOT OK for Georgia and Russsia to also have such a law?
Because the US is not a member or applicant for the EU?
Rules for Thee but not for Me
The answer is that the American law does *not* prohibit organizations subject to the law from engaging in political activity. "FARA does not prohibit lobbying for foreign interests, nor does it ban or restrict any specific activities. Its explicit purpose is to promote transparency with respect to foreign influence over American public opinion, policy, and laws."
As a result, RT and other government-funded news sources must tell people where their funding comes from, but may continue operating unhindered.
In Russia, numerous organizations have been forcefully disbanded under their foreign agent law, including Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation and Memorial, an organization dedicated to documenting human rights abuses in the Soviet Union.
@@lunarlighting6847 So, the EU wouldn't accept the US application because the US is not free and democratic?
