Another way to support Georgia (and maybe make some cash) is to buy their stocks. In particular The Bank of Georgia (BGEO on the LSE) is at an all time low. :)

This is why most Estonians don't vote for Keskerakond. What was their position on NATO accession, EU accession, and now Georgia? They have no position.
