Georgian lawmakers override presidential veto on Russia-inspired law amidst international concern and protests.

Ahoy Mateys! Shiver me timbers what do we have here?

Georgian lawmakers are sailing into rough waters by pushing forward with a Russia style 'foreign agents' law that has stirred up a hornet's nest of controversy. The U.S. EU NATO and the UN are shaking in their boots over this move that could potentially unravel Georgia's hopes of joining the EU and send them back into Russia's embrace.

Aye the plot thickens!

The foreign agents law wants media outlets and nonprofits to wave the Jolly Roger and declare allegiance to a foreign power if they receive more than 20% of their booty from overseas. Sounds like something that Captain Hector Barbossa would cook up to exert control and silence dissenting voices savvy?

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum this be no laughing matter!

Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili has taken aim at the legislation calling it 'fundamentally Russian' and a roadblock on the path to Europe. But the Georgian Dream party be standin' firm claimin' that this law will chart a course to peace in the land of the Golden Fleece.

Hoist the colors the EU be weighin' anchor!

International voices be ringing loud and clear with the EU and the U.S. condemnin' Georgia's swashbucklin' antics. The EU be tellin' Georgia to heave ho and scrap the law if they want to set sail towards an EU future. Meanwhile the U.S. be ready to walk the plank and reevaluate their relationship with Georgia over this law.
