Armenia is declaring to Russia that it is very unhappy and wants the asspats it believes it is due from Moscow as a member of the CSTO. Withdrawal is very unlikely no matter how much the Armenian PM says "welllllll, we could leave..."
Hey, I used to hate niggers too, until Ye named the Jew. Now they’re honorary Aryans. Why, a former staff member swears that Ye re-enacted the “Das Rite” video.
I don't disagree those could be possibilities. Another one could be the West stepping in to arm them just to piss off Russia. But AZ is Turkey's bitch and EU is buying fuel from AZ and certainly can't afford to lose a supplier right now. So I really don't know how it will play out but no one is legitimately expecting Armenia to leave and be alone. If they left today, they wouldn't be here by Christmas. (Western or Eastern European).
i remember reading about armenia declaring that they intended to withdraw unless the alliance steps in and helps defend them against the turks, but now the closest i can find is this:

Russia: ok ukraine you need to evacuate your civilians, in fact we'll pay you and supply you the resources to evac them if you comply
Yeah it's just posturing. Unfortunately, it's all they can do. A fair amount of mid range armaments and training would let either side take a decisive edge but neither side has gotten those yet because of CSTO and EU (in the form of pressure they could put on Turkey, because it would be Turkey arming them.) Kinda rough life when two of your neighbors wanna genocide you real good. So they're in no position to walk away in reality, unless they have some kind of immediate agreement to take effect to protect them.i remember reading about armenia declaring that they intended to withdraw unless the alliance steps in and helps defend them against the turks, but now the closest i can find is this:
Armenians Decry CSTO Inaction
Anger is mounting in Armenia at the refusal by the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) to answer its plea for military aid following renewed fighting with Azerbaijan.
Elon Musk put out a pretty, to me at least, fair poll. Here's a very short video explaining it some. https://www.cnbc.com/video/2022/10/...sh-after-twitter-poll-on-the-ukraine-war.html
I feel for Armenia, caught between the two former empires each coping and dilating for more land and subjects.i remember reading about armenia declaring that they intended to withdraw unless the alliance steps in and helps defend them against the turks, but now the closest i can find is this:

"The Ukrainian media reported via smoke signals that the war's almost won and Russia's on the verge of collapse any day now."
He's not very smart, like at all.
Number 1 is believable, 2 is far-fetched considering that the Russian jet would have to enter Ukrainian airspace, and the third... a propeller drone somehow shot down a variable wing sweep attack jet?
At least show what the separatists were doing in civilian areas.
The "toy shaped" mine is literal anti-Soviet propaganda from the 1980s Afghan war era.

There are some sites keeping track, but visuals tend to be rare, here's some of the more exotic type:
The Russians have destroyed most of Ukraine's actually decent Soviet-era air defence, a lot of what they have now is Western crap, so this wouldn't be an issue.
