Armenians in the diaspora live a hyphenated world with advantages and challenges. The cultural aspects of our identity are the most influential factors that drive this dual identity. There have been at least four generations born in this country since our survivors came to these shores. Armenians have been passionate, contributing and loyal Americans. They have accomplished the unexpected in being full participants as Americans while retaining their identity as Armenians. This is no small task i

Part of what happens in George Orwell’s 1984 is that whenever alliances change, Big Brother orders all records of previous alliances eliminated. Indeed, John Foster Dulles said “The United States doesn’t have allies, it has interests.”
We saw these sorts of things play out. As WWII shifted to the Cold War, the US government acted as if it had never aligned with the USSR in WWII. Back in the ’80s, one of the US’s favorite autocrats was Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, whom Reagan considered an important bulwark against Iran. In fact, when Iraqi forces accidentally fired on a US ship in 1987, Reagan let the event slide (as Noam Chomsky noted, this was a privilege usually reserved only for Israel). And of course all the while, Reagan was selling Iran weapons so that he could wage a war against Nicaragua’s first free government.
All wars are tragic, but some are justified. Despite what CNN says, history will be on the side of Russia.
What would Uncle Sam do if Texas tried break free from the United States and made a military alliance with Russia? What would Uncle Sam do if China was to deploy troops and missiles in Mexico? What would Uncle Sam do if Russians were to deploy troops or missiles in Venezuela? What did Uncle Sam do in Cuba, Vietnam, Granada, Panama, Iraq, Serbia, Yemen, Libya and Syria?
This war was a direct result of expanding NATO to Russia’s borders, despite 30 years of complaints and warnings by Moscow. This war was a direct result of placing missile systems near Russia’s borders, despite 30 years of complaints and warnings by Moscow. This war was a direct result of fomenting anti-Russian Color Revolutions throughout former soviet space. Ukraine has been a hotbed of anti-Russian activity. The separatist Russian populated region of Donbas was bombed for 8 years before Russians stepped in. This war was also a consequence of Western powers and their allies invading Iraq on false pretexts. This war was a consequence of Western powers and their allies mercilessly bombing Serbia, again based on false pretexts, and giving a major piece of it (i.e. Kosovo) to Albanian Muslims. This war was also a consequence of Western powers destroying Syria, Yemen and Libya via Western-back Islamic terror groups.
Western powers and their allies are responsible for a number of illegal invasions and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people since 1991. Western powers and their allies are also responsible for a number of bloody “regime changes” and “color revolutions” around the world, including Armenia in 2018, which led to the loss of Artsakh.
It’s about time someone stood up and said – no more! Once again, that someone is the great Russian nation.
I did not see the “civilized world” protesting when Artsakh was mercilessly attacked. I did not see them protesting in this manner when Serbia was mercilessly attacked. I did not see them protesting in this manner when Iraq was mercilessly attacked. I did not see them protesting in this manner when Syria was attacked. I did not see them protesting in this manner when Libya was attacked. I did not see them protesting in this manner when Yemen was attacked.
Therefore, the “civilized world” with all its toxic organizations and institutions, along with their Ukrainian friends can go to hell.
This war will end with Ukraine total capitulation sooner than later. Despite what Western MSM is trying to tell us, President Putin’s war effort in Ukraine has been brilliant. Despite the fact that Ukraine is one of the largest countries in the world and has a well armed and well trained military, around 30% of Ukraine is now in Russian hands. Despite what Western MSM is trying to tell us, all measures are being taken by the Russian military to lessen civilian casualties. Russians have even kept the lights on throughout the country. This restraint by the Russians is causing delays as well as Russian casualties.
For their part, Western officials and journalists have been encouraging and inciting Ukrainian civilians to fight the Russian army to the death. That is why war criminals in the West are encouraging Ukrainians to fight to the death. That is why war criminals in the West are telling Ukrainians that they are winning. In other words, Westerners are doing their best to get Ukrainians massacred for a good “photo op”. And Zelensky is their Grim Reaper in this regard. Ukraine’s deserves it’s “friends”.
No tears for Ukraine from me. Let’s Russia do what it needs to do to that pro-Tatar and pro-Azeri hotbed of Western, Turkish, Israeli and Neo-Nazi activity.
This war will be over sooner-than-later with a historic Russian victory. Russia will become the premier breadbasket of the world after reclaiming territories it lost to the Bolsheviks. Russia will remain the world’s largest producer and exporter of precious and rare metals, rare earths, gas and oil. Russian heavy industry will remain in the world’s top ten. Russia’s armed forces will remain the world’s finest. Russian society, which is not a stranger to adversity and knows how to tighten its belt, will inevitably recover from the “sanctions”. Ukraine however will cease to exist. As for Ukraine’s friends, the power and influence of Western powers will fall even further because no self-respecting nation will trust their money/assets in the West any longer, after witnessing their hysteric overreaction to Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine.
A new world was born on February 24, 2022. Western nations, along with their colonies around the world, will inevitably drown in their neo-marxist, liberal, democratic excrement.
Russians are being wasted. Putin has called in reinforcements. If it drags out longer it will be the end for him. Western supplies continue and have increased to include kinetic drones (Switchblade) on mass from US. Turkey sent military personel. Syrian groups like the Murad division should be there. So this ain’t over. If Putin wins he will want Moldova next (Moldovian Nazis, Russian genocide, bio labs, killer birds, old Crimean car bomb footage, etc) then Romania which will mean WW3. Typical human. Its never enough.
