Georgian military spending has risen dramatically in the past few years, largely due to funding from Washington.
Sad to say, this is a typical pattern for client states of the US. Maybe when we go bankrupt, the pattern may be broken. Perhaps I am naive, but I like to think that a turn away from American Empire back to American Republic will be better for all of us in the long run.
All diictators do this, they build a strong military, feather their own nest, beat their chest and point to an external or internal enemy. The Monster Saakashvili is no different. Like all dictators, the Georgian people don't matter, all that matters to Saakashvili is Saakashvili. He just has a strategy, that strategy is simple, to be a vassal state of the US. Be an antagonist to Russia at the bequest of the US. The rewards, riches for Saakashvili and a retirement in the US. The prize for the Georgian people as always, suffering and poverty, all a present from the US.
