Protesters held signs with messages like “Russian warship, go fuck yourself,” “Abkhazia is Georgia,” “Russia is an occupier,” and “Go back to your fucking country.” Additionally, they carried photos of Abkhazia and the 2008 Russo-Georgian War, and played the Georgian national anthem, according to the outlet Batumelebi.

Good, let's isolate them. They can visit Siberia if they want a vacation. North Korea is nice as well I bet.

yeah i don't understand how anyone can treat ANY Russian with "hospitality" right now.. if they think they have the right to just kill anyone they want, i don't think they should be treated with civility anywhere..
