While the world has been focused on the conflicts in Israel and Ukraine, the Russians have been implementing major political shifts in other areas. Moldova and Armenia top that list.
.
Armenia, the world’s first Christian country (300 A.D.) is located in the vulnerable South Caucasus Mountain region. It was once part of Russia’s mini-NATO and dependent on the federation for protection. Russia has recently abandoned Armenia to curry favour with its ISLAMIC Republics. Armenia is periodically attacked by its Islamic neighbor Azerbaijan. Armenia is now seeking EU membership.

MOLDOVA is a Romanian-speaking country that was created by the USSR and briefly joined to Ukraine. It has a small Russian population in Transnistria, along the Dneistre River.
.
At the outset of the invasion of Ukraine, Russia hoped to occupy the Odesa region and join it with Transnistria in the West, and the Donbass region in the East, isolating Ukraine and eliminating all access to the Black Sea and the rest of the world.
.
The NATO nations standing against Putin have a combined GDP 25 TIMES as large, so its dreams will never materialize. In my opinion the UK and France would both intervene militarily if Russian troops threaten Odesa. Keep in mind that in 1994 those countries, as well as the US and Germany, promised Ukraine that Russia would NEVER invade if it gave up its Nukes. Breaking that promise would create a disaster situation for the West.

ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
.
During WW One, Turkey was an ally of Germany, and using the pretense that Armenians might support Russia it invaded. During the ensuing Genocide, 2 Million Christians were slaughtered. That did not end in 1918 when Turkey surrendered, and signed the ‘Peace Treaty’. Turks continued slaughtering Armenians as well as Christian Chaldeans in Syria until 1921.
.
Ergodan continues to play both sides. It’s time to boot Turkey out of NATO.

EXTRACT
.
Most banks in Armenia will soon stop accepting cards that use the Russian Mir payment system, Moscow's alternative to Visa and Mastercard, after they suspended operations in the country over the war in Ukraine, Russian media reported.
.
A representative from VTB, a Russian majority state-owned bank, told Russian news outlet RBC that most banks in Armenia, not including VTB, would no longer accept Mir payment cards from March 30. They have been crucial for Moscow as Western-imposed sanctions blocked access to global payments systems, and were hit by U.S. sanctions in February.

Each time Russia suffers a loss PUTIN jumps up and down yelling “NUKES … NUKES … NUKES !!!”. In the extremely unlikely event of a nuclear conflict, half the population of Russia would only survive the second Winter, by eating the other half. Threats, Fear, and Terror are Putin’s greatest weapons.

Bring back the Crusades.
