His surname has a -shvili- ending, indicating him as ethnic Georgian.

Yes, Georgian, same as Stalin:

"Stalin, Joseph Vissarionovich , 1879–1953, Soviet Communist leader and head of the USSR from the death of V. I. Lenin (1924) until his own death, b. Gori, Georgia. His real name was Dzhugashvili (also spelled Dzugashvili or Djugashvili); he adopted the name Stalin (“man of steel”) about 1913.

I find it difficult to care about anybody who supports the Party which embodies anti-Americanism and anti-capitalism, and whose agenda is the very destruction of traditional America and the traditional family unit in favor big-government socialism and mediocrity.

Oh well, Shalikashvili - - que sera sera.

I wrote that I feel bad for his family.
