That’s my point. Totten is no dummy and he should have shown the posters written in Georgian and then provided the translation. I must emphasize that I believe in the content of Totten’s article. However seeing the posters in English raised the “BS flag”. Those posters are propaganda made for foreign consumption. Seeing the poster’s in Totten’s article logically raises the question: “Is this article propaganda made for foreign consumption?” Showing the English language posters was an error.
