Peace Keepers? What is this, The Hunger Games?
Can you hear that? That's the sound of russia's budget NATO crumbling because it's members realised the CSTO only exists to help russia. >

CSTO. Not CIS. >

True, fixed it. >

thanks for fixing it. you're a wonderful person. 😊 >

It looks like Armenia is fucked. They thought to have a strong ally, but they are left alone against Azerbaijan and Turkey. >

Iran's also busy with their Protests, lets hope that Armenia somehow survives this, wouldn't be surprised if Azerbaijan makes use of this situation and completely wipes them out. >

Considering their history it is possible. I hope that Armenia is looking for other allies already be it West or China. We can have another genocide there. >

well, multiple Turkic peoples from that region have also suffered genocide and ethnic cleansing by Russia. 
...sometimes with help from Armenians. >

Eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. >

I agree with this, most do. But you cant just say this and expect people who lived the violence or the revenge to just drop everything. It takes so, so much effort by involved and 3rd parties to break the destructive cycle of hate and violence. You have to give people a tangible, real alternative to the hate. A real chance at something more than they have known, and what those before them have known in terms of hate and violence. >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 71%. (I'm a bot)


Russia has denounced "Public attacks" on its peacekeepers deployed around the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh in Azerbaijan as "Unacceptable", a day after Armenia accused the contingent of failing to fulfil their duties amid a blockade there.
On Thursday, Armenian news site Hetq quoted Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan as accusing the Russian peacekeeping force of "Becoming a silent witness to the depopulation of Nagorno-Karabakh", having failed to reopen the only road between Armenia and the predominantly ethnic Armenian enclave in recent weeks.
In 2020, Azerbaijan retook territory in and around the territory after a second war that ended in a Russian-brokered ceasefire and the deployment of Russian peacekeepers along the Lachin corridor.

I tried Google translate for "Russian peace keeper" and it didn't find anything >

Did you mean "terrorists"? >

I’m sorry, but when I hear the word peace keepers and Russia in the same sentence isn’t that an oxymoron? >

It's the same version used in Farscape. >

Was not expecting to see a Farscape reference, but good on you! >

I believe its the duty of all Farscape fans to find relevant references where possible. We get so few opportunities, we gotta seize them
I am glad you appreciated it. I hope you have a great new year, and maybe a fun Farscape binge in 2023! >


maybe a fun Farscape binge in 2023!

Well it's on my plex and thanks to you, that binge is 100% happening. You're doing good work. >

"Peacekeepers" >

russian “peace” >

"duties", "breakaway region" >

It's an Armenian ethnic enclave not Russian. Armenians never have had it easy being nearly exterminated by their oh so friendly neighbors. >

Private attacks, apparently, are tolerated and/or encouraged. >

Back then, we privatized public institutions. Now, we privatize attacks! >

Fcuk Russia >

yes, fcuk russia >

There are 120 thousand Armenians trapped in the region under joint Russian and Azerbaijan operation. They do not have access to food, medicine and other supplies. There is a major fear of a famine. Yet no major news are reporting this. >

The Armenian Genocide has been going on forever, yet no major news outlets talk about it >

Peacekeeper translated to Russian is war deliverer >

Damn Russians just bitch all the time >

Peacekeepers in tanks. >

"Russian peacekeepers" >

Does anyone have any theories for why Russia seems to be so impotent lately? >

There used to be an attitude in the Russian military that can basically be summed up by saying that as long as they have nukes, they won’t be invaded. Because of that thinking, many of their military leadership believed that the need to maintain a conventional military was significantly diminished.
As such, they only need to show a facade of military might for propaganda purposes because there’s no way that the west would actually invade them. Funds that would go to maintaining the actual military gets syphoned off into corruption and private pockets. >

I mean they were right. That philosophy would have been just fine if they didn’t try to invade someone. Oops. >

God Russia has the thinnest skin, it's a wonder they maintained that "tough guy" image for so long. The obsession with ballet should've been a hint >

RuZZian peacekeepers are the perfect example of an oxymoron.  
That being said, it really sucks for Armenia to be fucked threeways thanks to RuZZia. >

A Russian a day keeps the peace away.
