      I mean, you know the answer, but it is not a mutually beneficial relationship. It’s a relationship of violence, power and dependence.

      Day 1825 of the 3 day special operation. They are successfully retreating on many fronts. In the back, many refineries heroically and patriotically intercept Ukrainian drones. In the black sea, the flagship missile carrier was converted into a submarine, the first of its kind in the world.

    Russia sure left armenia out out to dry.

    They got attacked by their neighbor, that was backed by Turkey, and what did Russia do? Nothing.

    They’ll get sent stuff by the West to slowly grind Russia to a pulp?

    Okay, of course it’s not that simple, and wartime is awful. Russia still has an aura of invincibility in eastern Europe, too. But come on, that as a threat, right now?
