The U.S.-Armenia Strategic Partnership Charter: What to expect next?

What to expect next? The loss of Syunik of course! God bless Democracy and Westernization, the gift that keeps giving since 2018!
Where’s Sir Charlie?
@ Gurgen how’s your favourite leader Putin guest Bashar Assad keeping in Moscow? Do remember the fact Putin wouldn’t supply him with defensive weapons leaving him to the pathetic “reserve the right to respond” to Israeli attacks and yes Putin got on just fine with Israel. As we all know this left Assad exposed as an emperor without any clothes. Besides since Azerbaijan has been drawing closer to Russia and Iran it’s likely to put them in less favour than in previous years even Putin and Alyiev mutual friend Netanyahu might have trouble excusing Azerbaijan for daliances with Washington enemies. Besides the agreement was a government one with the support of the incoming Trump administration and not a last hurrah of the previous administration as detractors would like to imply. Indeed from where you live, i believe you will see the changes with the new adminstration of the USA. Don’t be fooled by the propoganda Trump put plenty of sanctions on Russia when the situation in Ukraine was quiet.
Putin the Turk and Muslim lover will be pleased to gift syunik to Azerbaijan to remedy the actions of the Bolsheviks who assigned it Armenia as they couldn’t be totally biased in favour of the Tartars they had to do the odd sop to keep the Armenians placated at the time.
I don’t expect to benefit from the UK honours system and thus haven’t been knighted and thus don’t have the title Sir actually.
We have had enough paperwork and agreements. We’ll file them in the large drawer of brocken promises. We need a dozen HIMARS, about 20 F16’s, antitank weapons, and a UAV factory.
Putin is a mob boss and Trump is trying to be one. The one thing mob bosses crave is admiration – ‘kissing of the ring’. Providing recognition to them in the form of naming a street or having plaque or statue for each of them may provide some recognition. This is a simple way to mob bosses. And Trump in the narcissist who adores any public display of admiration.
