Konyok’s reply to FM Lavrov of the Russian Federation:

On Nov. 6, 2001 my president told the world “You’re either with us or against us in the fight against terror.”
Even though the Russian Federation has itself been targeted by jihadi terrorists, its government has chosen to eschew true partnership with the United States in the Global War on Terror and has opportunistically strengthened its ties with states that sponsor terrorism.
Given the choice of partnership with Georgia, a nation that has stood with the United States in Afghanistan and Iraq, and Russia, a nation that has been an obstacle as often as a help, this peasant of the al Amriki tribe says: Drink more Georgian wine!!
