Strategic reasoning

  • No prediction markets exist for armed conflict onset in Georgia, so adjustment relies solely on news signals.
  • Recent news highlights escalating geopolitical tensions in the South Caucasus, specifically the US expanding its presence in Georgia and Russia preparing for a decisive round of influence struggle, indicating heightened interstate tensions on Georgian soil.
  • Although the broader Middle East conflict (US-Iran war) is intensifying, it does not directly implicate Georgia but contributes to regional instability and risk spillover.
  • The structural model’s baseline probability is low (~2.5%), but given the current geopolitical jockeying between US and Russia in Georgia, the risk of a new armed conflict onset is moderately elevated.

Critical indicators

  • US expanding military and political presence in the South Caucasus, challenging Russian influence in Georgia.
  • Russia preparing for a decisive round of competition with the US over Georgia’s strategic alignment.
