Türkiye bout to get another win in its soft power over Russia, first with Syria and now Azerbaijan is opening up, both booting Russian influence out and bringing Turkish influence in. Armenia (a CSTO member) as well is already angry at Russia for not lifting a finger to help them against Azerbaijan and ultimately it led to Armenia joining the ICC, Lol.

Türkiye and Azerbaijan are bastards to Armenia though, if Europe was smart they would do everything in their power to bring both Armenia and Azerbaijan out of Russia's sphere of influence and not just leave it up to Türkiye since Erdogan is a huge prick and bring them both under our protection, achieve a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan and kick Russia out.

Russia would be left with so few allies at that point, if we didn't have a total moron as US President then I would also be able to see a scenario where we can pull Iran from Russia's influence but that's probably too late now. But the more allies Russia loses, the more allies they're going to lose, folk like Lukashenko aren't truly loyal to anyone, they just care about saving their own skin, I would start applying pressure there.

"What's the matter, Mr. Putin? Are you so disturbed by the fact that, for the first time in 200 years. Azerbaijan has become a strong state in the region"..."We understand - You are used to the dominance of "Great Russia" over the peoples it forcibly absorbed."...

"During the Tsarist era or the Soviet Union, the Russian people were considered the superior race. Azerbaijanis, Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Turkmens, and others were always treated as second-class nations. And even though both of those empires have now been thrown into the dustbin of history, the mentality remains unchanged"

"Where once Stalin would literally cut down anyone who dared raise their head - today Putin does the same to those who demand their rights"..."Does the Kremlin - and President Vladimir Putin himself - truly understand that this is no longer 1937, but 2025?" 

😳😳😳

Long way of saying "Fuck You" Lol.

Russia brought this on themselves, and this loss of influence can only be a good thing

• *Russia Talks Trash About America/Trump Even More*
• *America/Trump: Continues To Do Nothing*

How many times are we going to hear "Russia can't keep stalling! Peace now!" cause this is like the 10th time now. I'm sure when Trump sees this he will just say "Medvedev Peskov? Does that guy have any power in Russia? Why is he saying this! Me and Putin are best friends!" and continue to do nothing while continuing to make excuses for Russia/Putin.

11th.

What do you think? 🤔🇺🇸

Oh no, more scary words, what ever will Russia do.

So you're admitting that Trump is the reason sanctions haven't been passed, despite you wanting them to pass them a long time ago, and continue to do nothing except bend over backwards for Trump, despite the fact that you could try to pass this with a veto proof majority and Senate has the votes for it. But I'm sure Trump will do it in two weeks from now /s.

Russian oil tanker close to port just blew up

@Ryuu, i read a commentator saying that a weak sauce bill with fewer restrictions had enough support to pass, and I personally blame the white House for making it look like the senate didn't want it

Came across this video reporting from Ukraine. A fairly good take on Putin recently acknowledging the inflation and the cost of the war.

First Ukrainian cruise missle raid in many months, targeting crimea, domestic, and rostov. Ukraine will soon have many more of these when a sufficient number of these home grown missiles are made
