Does Georgia want to be a tax haven for Russia's billionaires? 

IF I WAS AN OLIGARCH I MIGHT GO TO LONDON TO. AS IF HE STAYS TOO CLOSE TO MOSCOW, THEN PUTEY CAN TREAT HIM LIKE A FAT PIGGY BANK WAITING TO GET THROWN OUT OF A WINDOW, WHEN PUTEY WANTS TO RAID THE PIGGY BANK BACK FOR WAR FUNDS. PUTEY ALSO TRIED TO POISON ABRAMOVITCH AT A TURKISH PEACE CONFERENCE, BECAUSE HE WANTED TO ALSO HIT THE OTHER DELEGATES AND UKRAINIAN DELEGATES, AND POOR BRAMY WAS JUST IN THE WAY AS A SACRIFICE TOWARDS THIS. IF PUTEY SAYS THAT HE HAS NO SOUL THEN THIS IS THE ONE TIME THAT WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE HIM.

The Russians have done this already, it has been going on for around 15 to 18 years, since Putin has been in power. However, according to William Browder, CEO and co-founder of Hermitage Capital Management, the man who lobbied American officials to pass legislation sanctioning Russian individuals involved in corruption. Britain has sanctioned and frozen assets of more oligarchs than any other nation on earth, this is fact but don’t let that stop you from propagating your political nonsense. Browder was the brave individual who brought the case to Senators Benjamin Cardin and John McCain, who proposed the legislation called the Magnitsky Act. The Act, originally passed by the United States in 2012 and expanded globally in 2016, has inspired similar legislation in several other countries. As of now, there are at least nine countries with Magnitsky-style laws: 1. United States: The original Magnitsky Act and the Global Magnitsky Act allow for sanctions on individuals involved in human rights abuses and corruption worldwide. 2. Canada: Passed its own version in 2017, known as the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act. 3. United Kingdom: Uses a broader sanctions law to target individuals under a Magnitsky framework. 4. Estonia: Implemented its version in 2016. 5. Latvia: Has similar provisions. 6. Lithuania: Also has Magnitsky-style sanctions. 7. Australia: While the legislation has been proposed, it has not yet been fully enacted. 8. Kyrgyzstan: Implemented its version recently. The European Union has NO version of the Magnitsky Act. They are instead thinking of developing a comprehensive Magnitsky Act for the entire bloc. These laws enable these countries to impose sanctions, such as asset freezes and visa bans, on individuals involved in human rights violations and corruption. YOU NEED TO EDUCATE YOURSELF. RATHER THAN WRITE FALSE STATEMENTS

Biggest tax haven in the world the UK indeed, not just London. Tax paradise's all over the world on UK islands too. Top 3 tax havens of the world all are British Islands. Trickle down economics is dead.

BRIBE LEADS ONLY TO DEATH, AS WHEN HITLER WOULD INVADE A COUNTRY LIKE A SLIMEY SNAKE, AND THEN TREAT ITS PEOPLE AS BEING SECOND HAND AND TO BEAT THEM ALL UP . LEARN FROM WHAT HAPPENED TO LITHUANIA, AND CHECHNYA AND UKRAINE.

IF NOBODY CAN BRIBE ME, THEN I CAN MAKE MORE OF MY OWN TECH AND COMMERCE AND OBTAIN LESS OF THEIR DEBTS. INDONESIA IS BEST EXAMPLE OF RICH LEADING COUNTRY WITH LESS BORROWING AND DEBT. BRING BACK SOCIALISM, NO MORE CAPITALIST ELITIST SQUANDERERS.

Russia doesn't care. Every little country counts when there's about influence. And Russian influence always brings corruption and oppression.

Georgia and Armenia are being used by Russia and Turkey conduct genocide.

Вы ошибаетесь. Посмотрите на карту. Грузия это геополитический тупик. Возить через неё некуда и не откуда.

They have already tried that, went a lot faster and showed that Russia is not imperialistic. They started shelling russian forces but were crushed fast and then Russia backed of pretty fast. The same thing would probebly have happend in Ukraine but we in the west thought it was a super idea to try and break Russia with the most powerful and trained up proxie in history. 😅

If they were similar to the Russian and Georgian ones I would agree, but they are not so I don't. Try reading them to find out their scope and how they have been applied (at least for the US).

ON ANIMAL FARM THE FATTER THAT THE PIG WAS GIVEN PRIVILEGE OR LUXURY BY HIS 'MASTERS', THEN THE MORE THAT THE SPIDER WARNED HIM THAT HE WOULD STEP ONE MORE PLACE TOWARDS HIS EXECUTION. BUT THE WISE PIG WOULD MAKE FOR HIS FREEDOM INSTEAD, WHILE ALL OF THE OTHERS WERE GETTING EATEN. WARINESS WAS NOT UNFRIENDLINESS, BUT A SELF RIGHT, SAID SPIDER.

What freedoms, exactly, do they not have now?

your kidding right?

BEFORE HE ATTACKED IT???

@@NefetariMoonRay Hitler never attacked Switzerland.

Georgians don't support this law, that's all that matters at the end of the day. It's not for Russia or the west to decide what laws Georgia is gonna push, when 300 000 People come out to protest this law there has to be more underneath this law right? Also there are huge differences in how the law is implemented and enforced in Russia and USA, also there are major differences in those laws, USA doesn't require you to declare yourself as an "agent" if you get international funding, if it was the case then TikTok would have been long gone already (for the record I do think that TikTok should be banned everywhere since it's basically a Spyware). Anyways, you should shut up and let Georgians do what they think is right for their future.

Hi my vatnik friend. I like the whataboutism and your love for Russia. Go on bootlicking.

@@risekelevra3405 Yea give me a break, you are just making the argument against democracy at this point.

@@risekelevra3405 Arab Spring says no.

Because there is a massive difference between the US legislation and the Russian and Georgian ones. Specifically, in the US, receiving money is not sufficient to require registration under FARA. That's why news organisations such as Channel 4 and the BBC don't have to register.

They aren’t protesting the tax haven laws (though they should!) they are protesting the “russian law” / “foreign agents law” which is a carbon copy of a law Putin’s Russia has used to suppress dissidents. Switzerland and Monaco are tax havens yes, but they don’t force their own citizens to register as “foreign agents” if they work for international NGOs or the BBC.

Not controlled directly by Russia though!

@@CanonessEllinor you forgot a couple...Luxembourg, Malta...Ireland to a certain degree....

Yes, young people feel this, that's why they protest.

Good, the EU is an authoritarian sinking ship.

​@@Pekka.Pekka.1296 I don't think we will join EU anytime soon of ever to be honest. But that should not deter us, we can be an amazing nation nonetheless. We can supply Europe and the Middle East and beyond with Hydro electric power and water. Look at Dubai, Singapore countries not in EU have become very successful

@@George-jz9fk Don't dream, my friend. Russia won't let you become rich. You need a strong ally to stay more-or-less a democracy. Which you don't have. Mother Russia is too close, that's your curse. 😔

@@George-jz9fk What hydro-electric power? From the "mighty" Kura and Aragvi rivers? Would it enough to heat a couple of barns in Romania? Is there a sea of oil underground? Like it is in United Emirates? Or maybe you are the biggest international financial and transportation hub, like Singapore?
