I thought that, after the 2008 defeat, Saakashvili was soon going to lose power the same way he gained it: by an overthrow. Anyway, I was too optimistic about Georgians. They seem to be in the same level of stupidity of Lithuanians, Latvians and Estonians. Or even worse, because at least these three weren’t crazy enough to go to war against Russia. Ukrainians, a much bigger country, showed some rationality.
@Carlo: its really tragic. Georgia is an ancient civilization, with a rich culture, and the Georgian people are known for their kindness and generosity. How they managed to be ruled by raving psychopats like Gamsakhurdia or Saakashvili is already bizarre. But to RE-ELECT a lunatic like Saakashvili is just about as crazy as it gets. Even the Ukies ditched the nationalists when things got really bad, but no so the Georgians…

Georgia is definitely going down the tubes now.
