This smarmy and mendacious stooge (Saakashvili) does not surprise me. I wonder what Russia is going to do about all this.
Since when a base for US bombers next to Russian borders became a matter for US and Georgia only???!!!
I would like an explanation from S. Lavrov and D. Rogozin !!!
Any change of policy in the US administration since the 8th of Jan?
