Electricity production and consumption has doubled in the past 20 years in Georgia. How can you say that there was no electricity in 2003?

Who did Pushaw "apply" to in order to move to Georgia in 2012? It does not require hardly anything to move there today. And did she "stay in Georgia for an unspecified amount of time working a number of different jobs, mostly in education, due to a Saakashvili-ran program for native English speakers to teach English in villages"?

Or did she, as she said, advise “Mikheil Saakashvili on international communications and media, including assistance with television appearances, op/eds, and outreach to policymakers,” while working "under the supervision of Saakashvili during this period. As stated previously, my work for Saakashvili consisted of monitoring the Georgian political environment for him and assisting in his international profile.”

Working in villages isn't exactly the same thing as advising an international leader.

It doesn't add up.

This article is absurd. In 2003 Georgian people made revolution to change communist secretary Shevardznadze and make a little progress in the country. You may not be aware but that time we had even no electricity at all. In 2014 Ukrainians overthrew Russian-puppet and instated the government they wanted. For sure, in both cases US helped Ukrainians and Georgians to cut Russian ties in those countries, that is natural as those countries are still rivals. I realy wonder what the author of this article wanted to happen, Shevardnadze was totally unpopular regime with already 10 years in power and people were fed up, he didn’t get more than 22% in elections. Rose Revolution happened by the will of Georgian people and not by CIA, because later in 2004 presidential elections 93% of the voters voted for Saakashvili, without harsh electoral fraud. As for Christina, I know her and I met her. If you realy want to know her personality and teachings about the USA, he is almost the sole American who wasn’t lecturing woke propaganda here, was pro-Trump, criticized currently soros-back NGOs and wanted to spread a real American conservative culture. I hope she’ll manage to achieve a very top level in her career and help Georgian people then again, for making more ties and increase relations with the US, that we very badly need.
