In an exclusive interview, independent journalist Patrick Lancaster shared his insights from Tbilisi, Georgia, where ongoing protests against the government have drawn international attention. While Western media portrays the demonstrations as a popular movement for democracy and EU integration, Lancaster’s on-the-ground reporting paints a starkly different picture.
At the center of the unrest are delays in EU accession talks and disputed parliamentary elections. Protesters, largely young and organized, have clashed nightly with police, escalating tensions. However, Lancaster’s interviews with older generations reveal broad support for the government’s pragmatic approach to EU membership and acceptance of the election results, which many consider legitimate.
The protests are also marred by allegations of Western interference. Lancaster documented how foreign-funded NGOs have played a key role in sustaining the unrest. From costly pyrotechnics to professionally printed propaganda materials, the financial backing raises serious questions. The controversial foreign agent law, criticized by protesters, mirrors legislation already in place in the United States and Europe, highlighting the hypocrisy of Western objections.
Russian officials, including Dmitry Medvedev, have dismissed the protests as a doomed effort to destabilize Georgia. Meanwhile, Lancaster’s reporting has uncovered claims of shadowy groups exacerbating the violence, raising further concerns about the integrity of the movement.
“Western media wants you to believe these protests represent the majority,” Lancaster said, “but everything I’ve seen tells a different story. The people I spoke to largely oppose the protests and support their government’s decisions.”

“Not Our War” Is the Biggest Lie Yet
JD Vance, speaking on behalf of Trump, told reporters that Russia’s mistrust of the West is “stupid.” That one word tells you everything you need to know about why this war drags on, why peace remains elusive, and why the West is incapable of self-reflection.
Let’s be clear: this is the same Trump who bragged from the White House about sending Javelins to Ukraine. “I gave them Javelins,” he boasted. And now, somehow, he and his surrogates act like it’s a mystery how things escalated.
The delusion is staggering.
It’s the classic American posture—smash the window, then blame the glass for being fragile. Vance’s comment wasn’t just insulting; it was dangerous. It signals to the world that the US has learned nothing. Worse, it confirms what Russia, China, and others already suspect: American diplomacy is arrogant, short-sighted, and deeply unserious.
Even Trump’s record, for those still hanging on to hope, is pitiful. His loud online ...
