Global War Party
The "Global War Party" (Georgian: გლობალური ომის პარტია, globaluri omis p’art’ia) is a conspiracy theory created and advanced by Georgian Dream, a Georgian political party. It is an alleged international organization exerting a key influence on the European Union and the United States. According to some commentators connected to the party, the "Global War Party" includes the American military-industrial complex, George Soros and neoconservatives. Georgian Dream has accused it of prolonging the Russo-Ukrainian war and spreading it to other countries, assassinating sovereignist leaders, orchestrating revolutions around the world, and plotting to topple Georgian Dream from power.
In the spring of 2024 Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze portrayed his government as in a fight against the "Global War Party", stating "there is no alternative to the fight against the 'Global War Party', it is a very painful, difficult fight, including from a personal point of view." He added that surrender would lead to the "Ukrainization of Georgia". But in autumn 2024, with the backdrop of increased international pressure, Kobakhidze expressed desire to improve relations with the "Global War Party", hoping to "reestablish relations" with the entity due to shifting circumstances.
The claim has been widely dismissed by the West, with the US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James C. O'Brien describing the claims as a "Reddit page coming to life". Responding to the conspiracy theory, the Foreign Affairs Minister of Lithuania, Gabrielius Landsbergis has stated "The only war party is in Moscow".
Despite frequent mentions from the Georgian government, Georgian Dream has not specified the members of the "Global War Party". The term has been described as a dog whistle to refer to actual or perceived political opponents such as the European Commission, the European Parliament, the European Council, the U.S. Congress, the U.S. State Department, the Western media, the NGO sector, Swiss banks, and the Georgian opposition – in particular, United National Movement (UNM). Kobakhidze has stated that the term was not a reference to the European Union or the United States, and that "the EU is one of the main victims" of the alleged organization.
Georgian Dream MP Mariam Lashkhi has compared the "Global War Party" to the Freemasons. According to the Georgian Dream-connected commentators, the "Global War Party" stands for the American military-industrial complex corporations such as BlackRock, The Vanguard Group, State Street Corporation and Fidelity Investments, which they accuse of war profiteering, pushing America and other countries into endless wars, and making financial profit from the Russo-Ukrainian War. Some commentators additionally name George Soros and Western neoconservatives as members. A splinter party of Georgian Dream, People's Power, has mentioned Danish Embassy in Georgia as being a part of the organization.
Irakli Kobakhidze has stated the influence of the "Global War Party" can be felt on President Salome Zourabichvili. He has further added that the United National Movement, Giorgi Vashadze, Giorgi Gakharia, Girchi - More Freedom, and Lelo for Georgia are agents of the "Global War Party". Furthermore, Kobakhidze has explicitly referred to the UNM as a member of the "Local War Party".
Shortly after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Secretary of the Ukrainian National Security Council Oleksiy Danilov called Georgia and Moldova to open a "second front" against Russia. Additionally, Oleksiy Arestovych, advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stated that it was a "historic opportunity to retake Abkhazia and South Ossetia".
Following this, Georgian Dream has frequently accused the West of trying to open a "second front". Irakli Kobakhidze criticized these remarks, saying that the Ukrainian officials want to pursue their own interests at Georgia's expense because opening a second front would "make the situation worse for Russia", but it would also come at the cost of "destroying Georgia" as Russia's military is significantly stronger than the Georgian military. Georgian Dream MP Gia Volski called on the EU and US to "distance themselves" from statements from some Ukrainian officials to "see Georgia engage in war".
