Wow and Kazakhstan is a pretty big chunk right?

It’s one of the bigger stans

Russia is The Rust Belt if it were a country

Yeah, Daily reminder that Putin is just another globalist cuck Who postures like an alpha when he’s 5’7.

Belarus is Belarusizing: Lukashenko is now encouraging everyone to use the Belarusian language while he plays footsie with Russia, China, and the E.U.

@Waffle Evil 😆

the Russians have Armenia and that's pretty much it at this point

largely because Armenians have historically seen Russia as their protector

Armenia fits one of Russia's friend criteria: orthodox religion

@mattforney yes but the real question is.... does Russia have Logos? LMFAO

@Waffle Evil agreed

@Waffle Evil But so is Georgia

Only if Russia goes back to Slavic paganism lol

@Waffle Evil rodnovar is makin’ a comeback people

the Russian Empire historically acted as the protector of Orthodox minorities in the Middle East, chiefly Armenians

Russia is already Orthodox. How much more Slavic Pagan do you want? lol

@mattforney yeah especially after the Ottomans fell

that was a major impetus for the Armenian Genocide: the Ottomans saw the Armenians as a potential fifth column in World War I

@Deleted User Georgia got seized by pro-Western forces because it didn't rely on Russia for protection

@mattforney ahh ok thanks

Armenia would be toast in less than a week were it not for the Russian military

they beat the Azeris in the Nagorno-Karabakh War back in the early 90's but because the Azeris are now flush with oil money their military spending is now exponentially higher than Armenia's state budget

the only reason the Azeris don't invade right now is because the Russians would kick the shit out of them, guaranteed

@mattforney yep

Russia still has a military base in Armenia

@White Wolf aka Purple Man You reminded me of this meme:

there's some speculation that the new Armenian government will go in the direction of Georgia and decouple from Russia. I don't see that as likely mainly because doing so would be suicidal

the Azeris HATE HATE HATE Armenians and will invade the second the Russians are caught lacking

Yeah, Armenia has the Azeris and the Turks to deal with in that region

@mattforney Yeah pops also aren’t in Armenia’s favor

@Waffle Evil yeah. Protestantism could’ve been avoided if the Catholic Church has been more reasonable to John Huss’ calls for reform instead of executing him too.

@White Wolf aka Purple Man Yep hussites we’re reasonable

@White Wolf aka Purple Man The call for "unity" betrays the unifiers again 😄

the Armenians won the first war because they were better soldiers

the Azeris have a rep for being cowards so the Soviet military shunted them into noncombatant positions

@mattforney really? That o didn’t know

whereas more Armenians served in frontline combat during the Afghan War

Kebabs are a supersiticious, cowardly lot

the Armenians were also heavily funded by the diaspora

@mattforney that makes sense
