One should partly envy to the zeal of the Georgian management head by M.Saakashvili in the question of entry into NATO.
All the Georgian people day and night works at the embodiment of the American ideas, and the latter (the Americans) sleep and see, when Georgia will enter the North Atlantic alliance.
An information and propaganda machine of belief and compulsion of the Georgian population to "calling" into NATO is spread in the republic. Processions are held as a token of consent with NATO, films devoted to NATO are shown, even children"s drawing competitions that also call Georgia to enter NATO, are organized. Great financial assets are spent for carrying out of various NATO ritual actions. And that besides the fact, that an average pension in Georgia is about 15 US dollars and the salary is 50 US dollars. The given parameter is one of the lowest in the CIS countries.
Besides a considerable sum of money is allotted for the creation of a political image of an alliance to the representatives of the Georgian establishment, which, looking at the regularly published ratings of the richest Georgians, the list of which will soon eclipse even the richest Americans, is ready to yell and to prove the poor, literally, people the "advantages" of the western military block, which, at entry of Georgia into it, will present all the charms of the world civilization on a plateau with a gold edging.
And now we shall look at this question from another side. For what do the American cowboys so zealously strive to the South Caucasus?
First of all, it is connected with the transit of power resources from the areas of the Caspian Sea and the Central Asia to Europe and America, passing over the obstinate Russia. Secondly, with the creation of a convenient base of influence, both on Iran and Russia. By the way, concerning the geopolitical position, Georgia is not the best variant for the decision of these problems. The shortest way of the power resources is through Armenia, and the best base is Azerbaijan. But here the Texas guys have got problems, Armenia is the strategic partner of Russia and the economic-of Iran, Azerbaijan is a historical partner of Iran and the economic- of Russia. And besides, the governors of these states have their opinion and position, and are not ready to put their people under anybody because of their own benefit.
Thus, Georgia, in case of its entry into the alliance, will be used as a power corridor and as a military range of NATO.
Yes, by the way, I have forgotten to tell about the role of the Georgian people in this political experiment. It, i.e. the people, is very necessary to the military hawks from NATO, but not only as a historically developed ethnos with its originality, national culture, traditions, with its national spirit, but simply as cannon fodder for carrying out of the peace-making operations on "democratization" of the world, which now the American "democrats" so need.
Moreover, it is remarkable one analytical material of an American political scientist that tried to prove, that the Kosovo model is not acceptable to the independent states on the post Soviet space. So in a passion of the polemic he has numbered Georgia with the Muslim states. This example evidently shows how "deeply" the Americans have studied the original people of the South Caucasus. But that is not so necessary to them; they have studied well only their site.
From all the aforesaid it becomes clear, that the Georgian political elite is necessary to enter NATO, that is their bread with caviar, that is their earning.
But why NATO is necessary to the simple inhabitants of Georgia is not clear to me.
