Russia is being thrown out of Caucasus

Russia has been stabbed in the back - Russian propagandists are hysterical

It was stabbed by Armenia, which dared to have military exercises with the United States. Armenia! Armenia, which for many years has been one of Russia's most reliable allies.

The reason for this long-standing alliance was the Nagorno-Karabakh, which had been protected by the Russian army for decades. However, the price of this support was Armenia's de facto isolation from Western civilization and the lack of any prospects for the country.

And now, Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan has finally decided to take a courageous step. He has publicly agreed to the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan together with Nagorno-Karabakh. And at the same time, he broke with Russia, which now considers him a traitor, and reunited with the West, promising to ratify the Rome Statute and agreeing to military exercises with the United States.

As a result of the current escalation between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Azerbaijan will finally restore its territorial integrity, and Armenia will resume its pro-Western vector.

This aggravation in general is a cold competition between Armenia and the United States on the one hand, and Azerbaijan and Turkey on the other. A kind of competition within NATO in the Caucasus. Competition without Russia's participation.

Russia is being thrown out of the Caucasus, NATO is getting closer, and the Special military operation is not going according to plan.
