There's a deep historical connection between Armenia (a former Soviet nation) and Russia that goes beyond politics. Russia has historically maintained influence on other nations to protect their own interests.

Anyone stupid enough to buy America's neo-liberal freedom spreading bullshit and willingly gives up their children's futures for quick loans to do short term improvements that were needed in part because of US sanctions is an idiot, and unfortunately like any other country, Armenia is full of idiots.

You'd think of all countries Armenia would be the first to speak up against Israel's genocide, with a quickly shrinking diaspora of Armenian Genocide survivors being persecuted in Palestine... But no, they wanted to make pappa USA proud and sided with Israel instead.

Armenia sold its future to help the dying American empire bounce back, and so did Lebanon. So tired of war, they let the US build a massive city-sized military compound with an airport on the top of a very strategic mountain and let them call it an embassy. People never learn.
