Creating nations based primarily on ethnicity is a recipe for disaster.

Merging with Georgia seems to me to be a wiser policy then merging back with Russia.

Expecting that Russia will somehow support an independent Abkhazia is a pipe dream.

The Abkhazians should have worked with the Georgians to create an autonomous region with strong ties to the Georgian government.

The Abkhazians got greedy and are reaping the whirlwind.

I agree. Standing up to the oppression of communism is one thing, getting involved in these ethnic squabbles leads to many problems.

It’s too hard to pick out a good guy.

I suspect the decision makers in Abkhazia are Russian puppets.

actually historically, nations that are majority monoethnic or mono-racial outside Negroid Africa fare better than polyglot attempts.

we are right now dealing with numerous locales where multi ethnicity causes issues from just irritating to all out war and or genocide

racial and to a degree ethnic mix in the US has proven exhausting and very problematic and is not much better now than it has ever been historically
