Well, you know, clearly the opposition, and in particular the country's pro-EU president, Salome Zor-Rashidi, thinks so. Whether or not that's true, they've amped these claims in order to rally the West to their cause. And to a degree, it's working. The U.S. froze a strategic partnership agreement it had with Georgia.

Baltic countries, of course, also former Soviet republics, have imposed sanctions on Georgian Dream's leadership. But Georgian Dream is also digging in. The prime minister has vowed no negotiations with the opposition. And the government argues its problems with the West are overhyped and really temporary. They argue things will quickly settle down once Donald Trump gets into office in January.

Well, Russia's defense ministry today said Ukraine had carried out its first attacks on Russian territory using American-made long-range attackums. Now, according to the ministry, Ukraine fired six of these missiles on Russia's western Bryansk region, five of which Russian air defenses destroyed mid-flight, and the sixth the ministry claimed to have downed. No injuries were reported.

We don't have any word from Kyiv yet. But if the claim is true, it appeared to be the direct result of the Biden administration's decision, reported by NPR and others, that it had lifted restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range Western weapons to target inside Russia.

Well, not directly, but Russian President Vladimir Putin today signed a decree updating his country's nuclear doctrine, in effect expanding Russia's options for carrying out a nuclear strike in what would appear a response to the U.S. 's decision.
