I'm not doubting all of this because I also tracked NED activity in Ukraine from 2012 to 2014, and have read extensively about Cold War influence and propaganda operations. But something that doesn't add up: if we're to attribute Georgia's pro-EU protests to U.S. State Department influence, why are U.S. covert agencies not also taking action in the U.S. right now? Much like the recent Georgian election, the U.S. election was a referendum on whether to align with the West or Russia, and Russian alignment won. So we're to assume the U.S. covert agencies always interfere in other countries that vote to align with Russia, but the U.S. covert agencies ("deep state" one might say) doesn't interfere in the U.S. when the U.S. votes to align with Russia?

Trump isn't pro Russia. Republicans aren't pro Russia.

US foreign policy has been the same for at least 40 years.

Public comments to the contrary are for public consumption.
