The Caucasus Mountains will do more than this law ever can to stop Georgia from joining the European Union.
Georgia isn't even in Europe. The idea that they should join the EU only makes sense if you view the EU as a white people's club. Which kind of tracks when you look at how they treated Turkey's repeated bids.
i mean its kinda in europe, the argument could be made for it, europe is a completely nebulous and flexible term anyways, borderline meaningless.
It's definitely not. I agree that "Europe" is a more or less arbitrarily defined geographical entity (not a real continent), but there is no geographically coherent definition of "Europe" that extends south of the Caucasus mountains. Georgia is clearly in Asia and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that.
There are definitions by which Georgia is in europe the definitions of the people who want it to join the eu, and if someone wanted to push that definition there is historical precedent at some points in time the generally agreed on definition included Georgia, this is not a matter of fact its a matter of convention.
