This isn't the first time the world has looked on sympathetically while Georgia was trounced by Russia. Does this sound familiar?
The President of the Georgian Republic has made an appeal to the League [of Nations] and sympathetic reference to his country's efforts was made by M. Paul Boncour in the Assembly. But it is realized that the League is incapable of rendering material aid, and that the moral influence which may be a powerful force with civilized countries is unlikely to make any impression on Soviet Russia. -The Times. Sept. 16, 1924
Here's Wikipedia on Georgia's "August Uprising."
