Recently, Putin visited Kazan, the center of the country, to inspect the new Tu-160 "White Swan" tactical bomber, Putin himself was also very excited, piloting the "air monster" for more than 30 minutes of flight, showing the demeanor of a "tough guy", Putin is very satisfied with his victory, the Russian and Ukrainian armies are constantly fighting, and there are also differences between the two factions in the United States.
According to the February 23 guide of "Russia", Armenian Prime Minister Pashnyan said that an important defense and defense agreement was signed with Russia for only one reason, that is, Russia has a war with its neighbor Azerbaijan, so Armenia decided to "stop the loss in time". It is said that Armenia is still "embracing the West", pinning its hopes on the United States and Europe, hoping to confront Azerbaijan with the help of the United States and the West and "teach Russia a lesson."
According to outsiders, this means that the roughly 5,000 Russian peacekeepers stationed on Armenian territory will be "swept away" and that it will mark the complete collapse of the long-standing alliance between Russia and Armenia. The West speculates that Armenia has long wanted to pull the United States and NATO troops into its own country as a way to stop Azerbaijan, an old enemy.
Pashnyan expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Russian-led CIS Joint Security Pact on French television, saying that it did not give Armenia any "necessary support" during the 2021-2022 Nagorno-Karabakh war, resulting in its defeat in a war with Azerbaijan and thus losing its long-standing control over Nagorno-Karabakh. Due to the recent armed clashes on the Armenian-Argentine border, Armenia fears that Azerbaijan is planning a new invasion and is eager to receive support from abroad.
It is reported that the "CSTO" is a loose alliance formed by Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan after the collapse of the Soviet Union, according to the agreement, when a country is invaded, all member states must lend a hand, and at the beginning of this year, when civil strife broke out in Kazakhstan, Russia used this as an excuse to send a large number of elite troops to Kazakhstan for "counterinsurgency", in order to show the cohesion within the "CSTO".
However, the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan has not been taken by the CSTO, which has greatly angered Armenia, and Pashinyan has repeatedly asked Russia to "make its position" clear to Armenia and condemned Azerbaijan's "aggression". It is worth mentioning that since Pashnyan came to power in 2018, he has embarked on a "pro-Western" path, repeatedly slandering Russia in public, and now encountering a war, but asking Russia to "help", which is obviously a miscalculation, and the interesting thing is that the Armenian-Afghan war happened, but the United States did not send troops to support, but the Russian army arrived in time and took in a large number of Armenians.
Military analysts pointed out that recently Azerbaijan has been sending troops into the border area, and Pashnyan suddenly announced the suspension of security cooperation with Russia at this time, which is undoubtedly sending a "letter of nomination" to the United States and the West, hoping that the United States can lend a hand, but his plan is doomed to failure, and the dispute between Russia and Ukraine has left NATO to take care of itself, how can it still have the energy to support the small country of Armenia in the Caucasus, and the Caucasus is originally Russia's "backyard", and the United States has to look at Russia's face if it wants to do it, Putin has just taken off on the "White Swan", which is undoubtedly a warning to the West, do not forget that Russia is the world's largest nuclear power, and if it really wants to do something to Russia, it is likely to be affected by the pond fish.
