🇬🇪PROTESTERS BLAST RIOT POLICE WITH MAKESHIFT FIREWORKS GUNS

Georgia is ablaze—literally. Furious over the government’s decision to freeze EU membership talks, protesters have taken the fight to the streets with a firey weapon: homemade “fireworks guns.”

These improvised launchers turned the capital into a warzone, firing rapid volleys of pyrotechnics at riot police.

No word yet on how the protesters made or acquired them, but the ingenuity underscores the intensity of their anger.

Riot police hit back with rubber bullets, tear gas, and water cannons, injuring dozens as flames licked the parliament building.

With over 100 arrests, critics are blasting the government’s brutality while accusing it of dragging Georgia closer to Moscow.

🚨 U.S. CUTS TIES WITH GEORGIA OVER PRO-RUSSIAN SHIFT AND VIOLENT CRACKDOWN

The U.S. has suspended its strategic partnership with Georgia after the pro-Russian ruling party froze EU membership talks, sparking mass protests.

Tens of thousands have taken to the streets in Tbilisi, demanding fair elections and an end to government repression.

Protesters faced water cannons and tear gas, with multiple injuries reported.

The U.S. condemned the violence and called the government’s actions a “betrayal of the Georgian constitution.”

Georgia’s president, Salome Zurabishvili, has sided with the protesters, refusing to cede power to what she calls an illegitimate government.
