General Dynamics (GD) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock?

Opposition lawmakers today accused the Georgian Dream of cowardice after the ruling party refused participating in the February 25 extraordinary parliamentary session on Russia’s war against Ukraine. Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili announced today the session would not open at all, as the quorum would be absent due to GD’s refusal to participate. Although the opposition MPs gathered at the Parliament anyways and tried to enter the Parliament’s plenary hall, they were seemingly locked out at Speaker Shalva Papuashvili’s request, in a move they see as unconstitutional. Key opposition outfits, the United National Movement and Lelo, as well as several independent lawmakers, held a joint press briefing amid the controversy. “Today is a day of shame in the Georgian Parliament,” said UNM leader Khatia Dekanoidze, arguing that Speaker Papuashvili had chosen to “close the door to the citizens of Georgia, Ukraine, the heroes who fell today and yesterday.” She claimed that the Georgian Dream lawmakers were tasked by the party’s founder billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili to reject attending the session, and warned them it “was worst and the most shameful decision” they have ever made.

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili announced today Tbilisi will not join international sanctions on Russia over its full-scale attack on Ukraine. “I want to state clearly and unambiguously, considering our national interests and interests of the people, Georgia does not plan to participate in the financial and economic sanctions, as this would only damage our country and populace more,” he said. Speaking with reporters at the memorial of Georgian junkers killed during the Soviet invasion of Georgia in February 1921, PM Garibashvili claimed he will not make any decisions that “harms” the interests of the people. “I, as [a person] responsible to our country’s populace and as the head of government, responsible for domestic as well as foreign policy, will lead on the basis of national interests,” he said. In his remarks, PM Garibashvili also claimed that Georgia is under “no danger” amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Prime Minister also noted that there is no need for him to summon a National Security Council meeting.
