Theory Briefing
- Georgia's PM Kobakhidze repeatedly invoked "Deep State" and "Global War Party" theories at a public briefing to explain threats to Russian tourism.
- The framing positions informal oligarchic forces — not domestic policy — as the true power sabotaging Georgia's interests.
- Invoking a hidden enemy allows the government to recast critics and geopolitical tensions as coordinated outside interference.
- The "enmity" warning signals an escalating rhetorical posture that could shape how Georgia's public interprets future political conflicts.
