Georgia (in Europe) has entered a controversial song into the 2009 Eurovision competition, which will be held in Moscow this year, according to FinancialTimes. It’s called “We Don’t wanna Put-in”.

But Dmitri Peskov, a spokesman for Prime Minister Putin has responded by calling the group a bunch of “hooligans.” You can see that it is a rather spoofy group, with a classic Motown group, “3G” and a kind of a goofy lead singer, Stephane.

The group contends that it is apolitical, but, in light of this summer’s skirmishes between Georgia and Russia,it stretches Putin’s tolerance. Of course, behind the border skirmishes was the Kremlin’s perfectly planned invasion of Georgia, (which coincided with the opening of the summer Olympics in Beijing) as it is now very concerned about its own economic well-being, in light of the pipeline through Georgia. Some analysts, like J.Christophe Amberger have predicted that because Russia is experiencing and economic setback,that it would again try to recover the lost territory of the Ukraine and Georgia, and toss the World into another “cold war.”
