How does one international crisis divide some of the nations internally? As the war between Russia and Ukraine continues to escalate, Georgian government is facing some internal political division, even the president might be "impeached" by the constitution. Why is this taking place today? Meanwhile, how are the younger generations in Georgia seeing the tension in Ukraine? Will Cathcart, an international journalist based in Georgia joined the latest episode.
After covering the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008, the president of Georgia offered Will Cathcart a job as his media advisor. He was 27 years old. He moved from Charleston, SC, to Georgia, where I’ve been based ever since. In 2011, I went back to journalism. I cover geopolitics and culture in the region for CNN, Foreign Policy The Daily Beast, VICE, Lit Hub, and others. On the television side, I’ve been a local producer for National Geographic's Drugs, Inc., a consultant for Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown, and a local producer for ITV’s On Assignment.
