    Is one of Russia’s oldest allies slipping from the Kremlin’s orbit?

    The arrival of US soldiers for a peacekeeper training exercise in Armenia has rankled the Russian government, which has for decades acted as the sole security guarantor for the former Soviet republic. The 10-day “Eagle Partner” exercise, which began Monday, involves 85 US and 175 Armenian soldiers and aims to prepare the Armenians to take part in international peacekeeping missions.

    The exercise, while small in scale, is the latest in a series of what Russia’s foreign ministry has deemed “unfriendly actions” taken by its traditional ally.

    Armenia recently sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine for the first time, and its parliament is set to ratify the International Criminal Court’s Rome Statute – meaning it would be obliged to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin if he were to set foot in the country, which Russia has long viewed as its own backyard.

    Armenia’s flirtation with new international partners has been spurred by its frustration that Russia has been unable or unwilling to defend it against what it sees as aggression from neighboring Azerbaijan, and has raised questions about Russia’s ability to retain its hold on countries and conflicts across the former Soviet empire.

    Armenian President Nikol Pashinyan said his country was beginning to taste the “bitter fruits” of the “strategic mistake” of trusting Russia with near-exclusive responsibility for his country’s defense.

    You want to reward Putin's aggression. To appease him. It's fine. Just own it.
    Sounds like it's just about revenge for you all. That's part of what concerns me. There is no plan -- just bloodlust.

    I could just as well say the same thing about rewarding the Taliban in Afghanistan. To appease them. Like Chamberlain would appease them.

    Both sides put out a lot of propaganda. Our own news media does it too.

    For example, how many times did we hear last year than Russia was on the verge of running out of missiles?

    Or that the Russian people would take to the streets and force an end to the war? Instead of just a small band of protestors who were quickly arrested.

    International law and thus justice. I gave you a plan: at least 2014 borders and peace with UKR in NATO and EU.

    How do you think that UKR got the artillery advantage and is able to get through RUS air defense with impunity?

    no

    Your accusations are as wrong and childish as your appeasement policy.

    Then why can’t you make a compelling case for spending another $100B on this war or even half that?

    Compelling case to continue supporting Ukraine.

    That’s not a plan. It’s a goal.

    There is no plan that makes sense because it’s a mess in those disputed regions that we should stay out of. The fighting there could go on for decades. That’s a horrific waste of money.

    After Ukraine, would you be ok if he invaded some place like Armenia too?

    Nothing but outright capitulation is compelling to you. Imperial expansion by Russia should be stopped. If you can't see why, you have much bigger problems than disappointment at not being compelled on SpursTalk.

    Man, you would've wanted the Soviet Union to expand as well. Your worldview is pretty clear now.

    It is both a goal and a strategic plan. You suck at deduction and shilling.

    It's about revenge for you. Pure and simple. You can barely contain your emotions.
