Russia launches invasion of Ukraine - MASTER THREAD

[GrandpaBernard]

Let me give another little lesson Mr. Pothead.

Armenia is Christian and has traditionally been ally to Russia. Since Russia failed to keep the peace in nagorno karabach, Armenia sees that it’s surrounded by Muslims that are hostile and no protection from its old ally. Hence why they look to the west.

and?

the West is logistically incapable of protecting armenia

Armenia is encircled by enemies of the West

The one nato member Türkiye endorses Azerbaijan

Armenia is living with the consequences of going from pro-Russia to pro-West

Armenia shot itself in the foot by spiting Moscow, the only government that could have protected it

Huh? Did I read this correctly? You're a Musk fan? Bro, that's gross. Keep that **** to yourself. Maybe have a chat with your momma about it. We cool bro, but we ain't that damn closed, damn.

Wartime is the great aphrodisiac for any economic woes... Puts people to work, gives people plenty to do. At such a great cost. As long as it does not cost the elites in Moscow, or the oligarchy thugs, who cares? So sad...

Now that one's a blast from the past, over two years old that post. Got that one pretty wrong on two counts. First thing was whilst I did understand that Russia was then a lot less militarily capable than most folks seemed to think I didn't know how extensively the US and UK had armed and helped prepare the Ukrainians for a possible invasion. Second was I assumed that Russias initial goal was primarily a territorial annexation when in fact the point of the initial onslaught was more about regime change and an effort to install a client or puppet government in Kyiv.

All I am saying is that Armenia looks to the west for security because of the Russian betrayal.

Interesting situation there.. you know that several of the Azeri military actions have coincided pretty closely with Russian reverses or Ukrainian offensives? Think I posted about it a few times back in late 22 and early 23. Point is to stretch Russian resources so they have to renege on their security commitments under the CSTO. Undermine their regional influence and authority. Pressure the Armenians into picking a side. This **** doesn't just happen by chance.

What I'm curious about is whether the initiative came from Istambul or Washington (unlikely but I guess possible that Baku acted on it's own initiative). The overall strategy is absolutely in line with the RAND strategy proposals of 2019 (which is in itself more or less a reworking of cold war containment and overextension policy) so could easily be the yanks (who've have been making big diplomatic efforts with both the azeris and armenians and seeking to replace Russia as the regional mediator). But then Turkiye under Erdogan is a bit of a loose cannon and seeking to become a major regional player in it's own right, I think Receps got pretensions of creating a successor to the Ottoman hegemony... could just as easily have been them opportunistically pushing for it, or even a bit of both.

Armenia is a pawn that screwed up

Armenia’s government went from Moscow to increasingly pro-West

The guys with limited access to our region will defend us

Fuck's sake. I'm suppossed to be writing an assignment on Adolescent Development Theory due in tomorrow. Studying up on Freud, Erikson and Piaget. Some reason I can write for hours on geopolitics and all manner of **** which has zero bearing on my life, but it comes down to something actually matters personally I just can't seem to settle down and churn something out.. Dammit.

Better leave this for today

I'm just curious so if I'm asking you stuff you don't want to answer, don't. I won't bring it up again.
Where is it you live right now though?

Minnesota - "The Land of 10,000 Lakes" If you can put up with woke lefties the fishing is GREAT if you are into Northerns, Muskie, and Big Mouth Bass! Interestingly, anti-2nd Amendment laws are not as restrictive as you would imagine they would be in a socialist state like Minnesota.

The Soydinavians destroy everything with their wussy socialism where ever they are be it in Soydinavia itself or here in Minnesota which was settled by Soydinavians who are barely a majority of the population anymore. The latest is that the Dems here want to make Minnesota a "Sanctuary State" for illegal migrants. If that happens I'm out of here so fast your head will spin like Linda Blair's in "The Exorcist!!!

Also, here you go a little Americana religion: ...

Our Orthodox clergy are close to nature and bears are not something that evokes fear in them as it does in Western clergy who are farther removed from the natural God created order of our planet.
