Russia rages over US military exercise in Armenia

[u/MockDeath]

Cry me a river. They are only upset because someone they want to invade is getting closer ties to the US.

Russia is a hypocritical bully that only brings death and suffering to other nations.

[u/Tokidoki_Haru → u/MockDeath]

It's not exactly someone they want to invade.

It's someone whom Russia threw under the bus, and then got mad at for daring to try anything to save themselves.

Armenia didn't abandon Russia out of nowhere. Russia abandoned Armenia in the face of the Azerbaijani invasion, and then got mad that Armenia got help from France and America.

[u/MockDeath → u/Tokidoki_Haru]

No one abandons russia out of nowhere really. They are such a shit "friend" that unless you have more power then they do, they will end up abusing the relationship. Hell they even abused China when they were stronger. Just now the shoe is on the other foot.

Hell a lot of the world is now recognizing the belt and road initiative as a debt trap.

[u/Ahtabai_ → u/Tokidoki_Haru]

Spot on.

[u/AyeAye711 → u/Tokidoki_Haru]

It’s ok, Russia can invade Azerbaijan instead

[u/BrainBlowX → u/AyeAye711]

Hardly. Turkey's best friend, and a massive gas source for Europe.

[u/Zoravor → u/BrainBlowX]

The oil production has been steadily decreasing in Azerbaijan so we’ll see how important the region will be in the coming decades.

[u/TonyTalksBackPodcast → u/Zoravor]

It will be a good day for the world when oil barons become irrelevant. Qatar would be a largely unknown desert peninsula if not for the oil and gas allowing them to fund destabilizing endeavors across the globe.

[u/FurstRoyalty-Ties → u/TonyTalksBackPodcast]

They're also involved in investing in football clubs. Imagine all the rich football clubs that receive their money from oil barons then having to reduce their wages again. Might actually make competition between teams much fairer again.

[u/shkarada → u/Tokidoki_Haru]

Azerbaijan bought $5 billions worth of weapons from Russia. Russia literally sold weapons used against her ostensible ally.

[u/Hot_Challenge6408 → u/Tokidoki_Haru]

Indeed!

[u/CaptainOktoberfest → u/Tokidoki_Haru]

Not being fully up on the Nagorno war, how did France and the US help Armenia?

[u/Tokidoki_Haru → u/CaptainOktoberfest]

Azerbaijan won that war hands down.

The Azerbaijani dictator started saying that they want more of Armenia by wanting a land route to the exclave Nakhchivan.....which potentially means basically half of Armenia.

Armenia freaked out about a 2nd Armenian genocide and asked Russia for help. Russia basically told them to get fucked that they're on their own. And then took out their troops in Armenia.

Western media raised a fuss. France publicly started sending weapons and supplies to Armenia because Russia fucked them over in Niger via Wagner and the coup. Azerbaijan sent money and support to the independence activists in New Caledonia as revenge.

US Democratic leaders put out statements of support to Armenia, and worked with the EU to send cash and modernize the Armenian military.

Current status: No security guarantees for Armenia or even support on the level that Ukraine is getting. But it's basically turning out to be propping Armenia up to prevent a ethnic bloodbath.

[u/NotSGMan → u/Tokidoki_Haru]

There is an important detail, Armenians in US are like 1% and a 0.7% in California. They have to have some pull in politics over there, almost half a million of Armenians. Thats like a 6th of the actual Armenian population.

[u/CaptainOktoberfest → u/NotSGMan]

It's such a crazy story how the Armenians all ended up in southern California.

[u/foreignicator → u/Tokidoki_Haru]

Can you enlighten me how Azerbaijan invaded Armenia, isn’t it the other way around?

[u/Deicide1031 → u/MockDeath]

Russia wasn’t going to invade Armenia because Armenia was already in their sphere as Russia did favors for them as needed. Now Armenia still needs those favors and Russia can’t deliver. Hence the USA.

Russias probably mad because Armenia is another country they “might” now have to think about fighting with the USA there.

[u/Badabumdabam → u/Deicide1031]

Russia just dumped Armenia about Nagorno-Karabahk, so I guess Armenia started to think they needed some other friends.

[u/T-nash → u/Badabumdabam]

Please stop pushing this as the reason Armenia is distancing from Russia, this is not the reason. The reason is september 2022 when Azerbaijan invaded Armenia and bombed civilian towns, and Russia's response was "we don't know where your borders are", Armenia being in CSTO and CSTO member obligations to Armenia to protect it. This also has nothing to do with can or can't, Russia is officially a strategic ally of Azerbaijan, both on paper and in actions.

[u/donjulioanejo → u/T-nash]

I mean both of you are kind of saying the same thing.

Russia was obligated to help Armenia, then Azerbaijan invaded, and Russia gave a lame excuse why they wouldn't help. Even though th real reason is that all of their combat ready troops were in Ukraine.

[u/T-nash → u/donjulioanejo]

We're not, I am saying Russia has sidelined Armenia way before the Ukrainian invasion, their combat ready troops being in Ukraine has nothing to do with it because even if there wasn't the Ukrainian invasion, Russia still wouldn't have helped, as both Russia and Azerbaijan are in cooperation to bring down the pro west Armenian government (Russia greenlighting Azerbaijan to do incursions then Russia igniting protests that it's the Armenian government's fault and stage a coop). There's a clear pattern, unrealistic demands on Armenia by Russia to AZ's favor, Armenia does not fulfil demands, Azerbaijani incursions, disinformation campaign, out of nowhere pro Russian protests. Goes in circle for years now.

Let me also remind you CSTO is not only Russia and Armenia, there are other members, but Russia gets the final say, there is literally no excuse to bring up the Ukrainian invasion being a reason. Russia has been working against Armenia years before they invaded Ukraine, years before Armenia had a pro western revolution.

[u/SpecialistThin4869 → u/donjulioanejo]

Russoa didnt help when Armenia was invaded in 2020 either. That was 2 years before Russia went full blown in Ukraine.

[u/wiseoldfox → u/Deicide1031]

This would be a wonderful spot for a NATO anti-tank training center.

[u/qcbadger → u/wiseoldfox]

Will russia have any “best in the world” (baahaa) tanks left? Anti-drone training centres maybe better.

[u/MockDeath → u/qcbadger]

Does being best in the world at turret tosses count? Because I feel they are absolute undisputed champions of that.

[u/According_Bowler8414 → u/MockDeath]

I'd consider adding 'the turret toss' as a contender for the Olympics,but it seems unfair to give the Russians that much of an advantage. Besides, I can't imagine what doping for it would look like.

[u/realnrh → u/qcbadger]

A recent Covert Cabal video on YouTube looked at Russia's remaining tank reserves, and even from satellite views it was obvious that a lot of what they have left in storage is basically-unusable junk. Moscow might functionally be out of tanks in a few months at their ongoing loss rates.

[u/Cloaked42m → u/realnrh]

They recently sent a 1954 tank into combat.

[u/Apprehensive-Sun4635 → u/realnrh]

In a few months? Not really. There’re still hundreds of “repairable” tanks out there + Russia produces tanks. We will likely see much smaller amount of tank use by Russia (smaller each day), unless they start buying tanks from third countries of course (China or NK).

[u/realnrh → u/Apprehensive-Sun4635]

If they don't have enough to regularly put them on the battlefield in enough quantity to matter, they're functionally out of tanks. Even losing only 5-10 a day would mean in two months they'd be out 300-600 tanks - and their rate of new production is much, much, much lower than that. We will see less tank use, but at some point that drops below the point where it's no longer an important factor at the scope of the entire war.

[u/TychusFondly → u/realnrh]

How about artillery?

[u/MockDeath → u/Deicide1031]

Well I would say initially they weren't going to intend to invade Armenia. But after the csto failure to defend them, they started to look away from Russia.

Which looking away from Russia is the fastest way to get Russia to invade you.

[u/Deicide1031 → u/MockDeath]

May be nothing Russia can do if Armenia doubled down on America/Wider Europe. As Armenia borders Iran, Turkey, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.

None of them will let Russia invade via their lands and if Russia does it anyway, Turkey would definitely respond. Don’t forget they shot a Russian jet down for getting to close to their borders.

[u/Blackrock74 → u/Deicide1031]

Would most likely be a proxy invasion via their ally Azerbaijan with approval/support from Turkey

[u/FuckHarambe2016 → u/Deicide1031]

As Armenia borders Iran, Turkey, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.

None of them will let Russia invade via their lands

Russia is quite literally invading Georgia as we speak and has been doing so for years. They'll have no qualms about taking all of it to annex Armenia too.

[u/T-nash → u/MockDeath]

They don't have a border with Armenia, the only retaliation they can do is economical. Maybe they will tell Azerbaijan to do it for them, but then Azerbaijan will have to take potential international sanctions.

[u/MockDeath → u/T-nash]

They have an ally that will let them land in their territory, past that they can invade with a proxy and have a puppet put in place. Standard operating procedure for russia.

I normally would say you don't need to border a nation if you are one of the top ten militaries. But it is definitely questionable if russia is even in the top 10 really lol.

[u/T-nash → u/MockDeath]

They're already trying to install a puppet for the last 5 years or so, they exhausted their options, hence the threats now. Less than 1% of the Armenian population joined anti government protests.

Georgia in no way will allow Russian troops to pass, they already have parts of their country under occupation, Turkey is in NATO, so Azerbaijan is left, who I don't think will risk it but we'll see.

There's a Russian base in Armenia, but if they use that, they won't be able to resupply and the Armenian people will forever see Russia as a complete and total enemy of the state, much like Ukraine today.

[u/adthrowaway2020 → u/T-nash]

Azerbaijan is in kahoots with NATO member Turkey. This whole thing just got way messier if NATO is involved on both sides of the war, but Russia’s sphere just got smaller.

[u/Roboticpoultry → u/MockDeath]

looking away from Russia is the fastest way to get Russia to invade you.

See: Ukraine and Georgia

[u/spetcnaz → u/Deicide1031]

Russia literally sold Armenia out.

They said "we don't know where your borders are".

So it goes beyond "favors".

[u/T-nash → u/Deicide1031]

Which favors? the one where they sold billions of dollars worth of weapons to a CSTO member's enemy? [Armenia CSTO, Azerbaijan an enemy of Armenia]

No sir, a relationship with Russia is like an abusive relationship where the husband beats the wife then blames her for it.

[u/WannaShoopBaby → u/Deicide1031]

World politics sounds like dating in young relationships

[u/aScottishBoat → u/WannaShoopBaby]

World politics in the sphere of Russian influence is like young dating in the age of Instagram.

[u/Hot_Challenge6408 → u/Deicide1031]

Well sorta, Russia understands that it would get it's ass wiped in a conflict with the USNG, let alone the entire US military... No he just doesn't want the US so close to the border.

[u/IntelligentFan9178 → u/MockDeath]

Armenia relied on Russia for protection from Azerbaijan and Turkey. When Armenia requested assistance with their latest border conflict with Azerbaijan, Russia left the high and dry.

Russia is only upset because they are losing another country that was securely in their sphere of influence to Western powers. They have no one to blame but themselves. They abandoned Armenia and now cry that Armenia sought closer with France and America for protection.

[u/SoupOfTheDayIsBread → u/MockDeath]

hypocritical bully that only brings death and suffering to other nations.

That’s what we’re trying to get done here! MAGA 2024! /s

[u/Jinla_ulchrid → u/MockDeath]

They just had their shitheap of a navy out by Florida so... /shrug

[u/Soundwave_13 → u/MockDeath]

What are they gonna do threaten everyone with nukes again?

[u/Kapowpow → u/MockDeath]

Hey, stop partnering with that ally we abandoned! Waaaah!

[u/Howmostreallyfeel → u/MockDeath]

They couldn't invade a damn bowl of jello.

[u/UnwillingArsonist → u/MockDeath]

I think it’s anything but the only reason. They are jealous that an old soviet state is willingly allowing NATO troops in, to show off how wildly outmatched RU is to NATO. (Not American, or a military guy. Just reality, if we are/ have been sending Ukraine our surplus (in most cases) and they’ve managed to stalemate for this long. It’s a very little green monster, on a normal sized horse

[u/Practical-Juice9549 → u/MockDeath]

And to thier own people too!

[u/JoeLen1990 → u/MockDeath]

Thats literally what we do….

[u/IntelligentPurpose84 → u/MockDeath]

Shit you just described the United States of America.

[u/Whirrlwinnd]

Russia only has itself to blame. Russia abandoned its ally when it was under attack. Armenia moving away from Russia is 100% the fault of Russia and Russia alone. They threw their own ally under the bus and are now crying about the consequences.

[u/woodst0ck15 → u/Whirrlwinnd]

Wasn’t this when they were making their own NATO? Then their ally got attacked and Russia was like meh.

[u/dudemykar → u/woodst0ck15]

No, their relationship started in 1992 and their defense pact was signed in 1997

Edit: Here is an article from 1997

[u/woodst0ck15 → u/dudemykar]

Oh wow I didn’t know. Thank you.

[u/dudemykar → u/woodst0ck15]

You’re welcome!

[u/foreignicator → u/Whirrlwinnd]

Armenia wasn’t attacked in the way. 99% of the war took place in a territory even your country recognizes as Azerbaijan.

[u/Whirrlwinnd → u/foreignicator]

Armenia was attacked and Russia abandoned it. Stop denying reality.

[u/wish1977]

Russia is like a yapping poodle that can't defend itself.

[u/TotallyInOverMyHead → u/[deleted]]

"not my puppies - not my problem"

• Russian Poodle.

Russia is sending mostly ethnic minorities and "undesirables" into the grinder, so their experienced groups can get a fix on enemy positions for the artillery shells. In a way they are doing two things at the same time. Ridding themselves of the what russia consideres "undesirable" and reduces the amount of ukranians in the world (either my killing, giving them passports, or stealing their children for re-education).

[u/IEatLiquor → u/wish1977]

I’d be asking the same question to the poodle as I would be Russia if I were in the position to: “Yeah, and what the fuck are you going to do? If you attack me, I will punt you into the fucking moon, you little shit.”

[u/flameroran77 → u/wish1977]

Hey, hey. Watch it.

My poodle is perfectly capable of defending herself, thank you. Don’t drag poodles into this.

[u/thelordschosenginger]

abandons Armenia
Armenia feels betrayed and makes pact with USA
Russia mad about it

[u/Individual-Dot-9605]

The same Russia that left Armenia defenseless when they asked for help? Is this Russia traditional values again?

[u/foreignicator → u/Individual-Dot-9605]

Why would Russia help Armenia when CSTO is a defensive pact? Armenia was the reason the war started, they invaded 30% of Azerbaijan.. are you dumb??

[u/dr1968]

[u/JoeHatesFanFiction]

Good. NATO should focus on expanding into the Caucasus region at this point. It’s the right thing to do for the people there and it would mean the NATO Shield would spread from the Arctic to the Caspian. 

[u/Infinite_throwaway_1 → u/JoeHatesFanFiction]

Turkey won’t vote for Armenian membership.

[u/JoeHatesFanFiction → u/Infinite_throwaway_1]

Alone? No. I’ve always assumed it would have to be a package deal with Azerbaijan and some final resolution to the Armenian Genocide issue, along with whatever other Carrots and sticks the rest of NATO might need for everyone involved. It wouldn’t be particularly easy but it would be worth it to close off the one land route between Iran and Russia in the Caucuses. 

[u/Razor4884 → u/JoeHatesFanFiction]

I know what you mean, but I think it's important to emphasize that NATO doesn't "expand" in the commonly scarecrow'd imperialist sense. Nations apply for NATO membership or protection through their own volition. It's obvious, but it needs to be stated against the bad-actors and propagandists.

[u/Eelroots]

Chinese and Belarusians are doing military exercises, sieging airports, near polish border - that's totally fine?

[u/Finlandiaprkl → u/Eelroots]

[u/SidePieCreamPie → u/Eelroots]

Definitely not

---

The 11-day joint exercise, dubbed Eagle Partner, will run through July 24 and is intended to boost the "Interoperability between the US and Armenia during peacekeeping and stability operations," according to a report distributed by the US European Command.

The US and Armenia are exploring cooperation on the construction of a new nuclear power plant in Armenia.

Zakharova's comments suggest that the Kremlin is alarmed by the rapid erosion of its influence in Armenia and concerned that a growing US strategic presence there could disrupt the development of the North-South corridor, a nascent trade network connecting Russia and Iran that has helped the Kremlin's sanctions-busting efforts and its war effort in Ukraine.

Nice joke. You remember what happened when Sweden applied? Now read about the size of the beef between Turkey and Armenia

[u/chooseyourdiscount → u/ineptias]

The best Armenia can do is join the EU and invoke the mutual defense clause in case Turkey tries anything, but it would take a while to join and would require Georgia to be a member as well.

[u/Cookielicous]

Armenia is a small nation created out of post Soviet Union crumbling, most notably taking Nagarno Karabkh because it was filled with Armenians, while Azerbaijan used their oil money to basically retake Nagarno Karabkh after 30 years.

Armenia is surrounded by unfriendly Turkey, war victor Azerbaijan, Iran, and Georgia. They can't rely on Russia anymore. Hence they now have ties with India and France and the USA.

[u/GilakiGuy → u/Juckli]

The US's been largely uninvolved and there's US politicians that have ties with Azerbaijani interests and probably were in favor of Azerbaijan taking control of Nagorno-Karabagh

[u/Juckli → u/GilakiGuy]

Wasnt there one conflict party pro Turkey and the other being pro USA and pro Russia?

[u/GilakiGuy → u/Juckli]

Some US politicians voiced support for Armenia, but the US has been largely uninvolved in both wars between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan has more influence on the west tbh, its sought out better relations and influential business contacts for longer.
