Mass media, stop telling lies. Do not feed people with all that old cheap propaganda crap like: "Bear is back" and "Russian threat" and "Democtatic little Georgia".
In 2007-2008 little democratic Georgia was the world leader as far as the question of military buget is concerned. During that period the military buget of "little ""democratic"" Georgia has 30-times increase! 1 billion a year for arms and armament! At the same time the average salary of a common Georgian is 60 USD a month.
Fast militarization of “Banana democracy of Georgia” was possible due to the help of US and its allies who had been giving large scale support to presidento Sack-a-cakashvilli. Now they are just trying to save their face, but it is will be quite a difficult task to them now- so they start to lie.
