Top Questions of the week from Lilly & Guga

Shatirishvili, likely with Ivanishvili’s consent, has gone straight to attacking President Trump, while his puppets are in the U.S., meeting with various contacts and trying to mend ties with Washington. Meanwhile, Neutral Georgia, likely acting on Georgian Dream’s orders, is pushing debates on whether EU membership is worthwhile—or even risky. Can anyone make head or tail of this and explain what’s really going on?
