Armenia is leaving the orbit of Russia

 

Armenia is leaving the orbit of Russia

Armenia is a country that has a long and storied history. 2000 years ago, it was an empire that was able to rival the Roman Republic and Empire.

Now it wants to join the EU in 20 years. I think that is a move that show that Russia can win on the battlefield but it needs allies that are realizable.

Russia has failing to keep its allies happy. It wasn't able to help Assad after the Russia-Ukraine War and now it is under the control of an Islamist army. 

Armenia was barely helped by Russia in their war with Azerbajian in 2020 and in spite of its peace efforts, Armenia is moving away from Russia to create its own path.

Of course, the Prime Minister is probably just doing this for cynical, economic reasons. Russia is not going to provide his country with the goods needed to gets its economy going. Armenia has no ports and is basically a landlocked country. Russia is not giving him what he thinks Armenia needs right now.

Russia has to understand that Armenians live in a country that is isolated on three sides. All those three sides are dominated by Muslim countries with considerable military might and power. Armenia needs to look out for its own interests.

If Russia won't help Asssad, then what makes you think Armenia even cares about the word of the Russian Federation?

Armenia has its own path to chart in this chaotic age.

How to Become a Great YouTuber in Eight Easy Steps

  How to become a Great YouTuber in Eight Easy Steps 1. Create a great Channel Page While YouTube does not have the customizable pages like it once did in the past, customizing your page can lead to more people discovering your channel and watching your content. My view is that your avatar is very important; you should understand it is like your personal identity on the site. 2. Comment on other people's videos. YouTube is the video castle of cyberspace. It is a like a mall with billions of people you can talk with. It is not simply a place to put videos on; a personal website can suffice for such usage. However, YouTube is a community not just a website. 3. Make great thumbnails for your videos Making thumbnails is equivalent to making the front cover for a book. While the contents are important, you need to get a hook to get people interested in what you have to say.  4. Make YouTube Playlists Playlists are underappreciated aspect of YouTube.

Iran Lost the 12 Day War and Israel has triumphed in the Middle East

Iran Lost the 12 Day War and Israel has triumphed in the Middle East The 12 Day War was quite a roller coast ride of emotions and missiles and bombs flying across two countries that have generally hated each other.  President Trump has brough peace through strength. It is not cliche; think about under Biden how Hamas managed to launch October 7th attacks, and the administration was dithering while wasting its time on spending money on EVs and other useless projects. Trump is a much greater president than he ever was. Just because someone seems nicer does not make them competent or better ruler.  Iran's willingness for strategic patience cost them dearly in this war. Israel shows itself to be a creature of action not patience. In this world, action gives the greatest bounty not sitting for the hits. Iran is seen as the darling of the BRICS nations; a coalition of highly idealistic people who only seem to come together for meetings that go nowhere. Isreal has shown once again: ...

Lunkin Coffee and Chinese Soft Power coming to your wallet

Image
Luckin Coffee has begun opening stores in America and there is one aspect that should leave Starbucks quacking in their boots; it is the cost of the coffee. According to CNA , Luckin Coffees can go for as little as 99 cents. The Cost of a Starbucks Coffee starts at around 3 to 4 dollars. However, many of their more premium coffees can cost around $10 dollars. You have seen that person, the one that overly customizes their coffee like they were buying an expensive house. Starbucks is a status symbol in America, or it used to be in the 1980s and 1990s. Now, its more of a cherry on top experience for the upper middle class who apparently who can afford to customize their coffees. Luckin is going to be providing value to Americans. Starbucks in some newspapers before 2000 used to call it "Designer Coffee". That is how many Chinese in Shanghai and Beijing used to think about it. Starbucks is too expensive and has diluted its brand by trying to be too many things. I admit, they mak...
