Hmm I don't really understand what you're so mad about. Georgia has always been its own thing.
And we were doing ok even before Europeans were a thing. We don't really need validation kek I don't think you quite understand who you're talking to here my good friend.
Also since this is a fun topic, here's my opinion.
If we were muslim Timur wouldn't have invaded this place 8 times. 8 major invasions. We would've joined him and we would've crusaded in europa happily ever after.
We would've maybe joined the ottomans and like Albanians were set up as rulers of their conquered provinces we could've done that as well.
Or basically if we were Muslim we would've linked up completely without any resistance to any of our southern neighbors from arabs to Persians to whatever, Russia would never ever have a foothold in this place either and we could've used our silk road/middle corridor to sponsor tons of invasions of our southern friends into the land of our far away northern and western frens.
Life would've been so much easier as well.
