The Russian army isn’t even the best army in Russia
Russia is “what?? You don’t want to be defenseless if we invade you?! Hmmmph”
Small correction, pashinyan is the prime minister, not the president
Thanks for the correction. I updated the description.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The arrival of US soldiers for a peacekeeper training exercise in Armenia has rankled the Russian government, which has for decades acted as the sole security guarantor for the former Soviet republic.
Since Pashinyan came to power in 2018 on the back of Armenia’s “Velvet Revolution” – an outpouring of anger against lingering corruption and cronyism in the former Soviet republic – his country has faced growing tensions with Azerbaijan.
Dumoulin also pointed to the growing ties between Moscow and Baku – spurred by the personal relationship between Putin and Azerbaijan’s longtime President Ilham Aliyev – which may have come at Yerevan’s expense.
It’s some 260 people armed with rifles – not heavy weaponry – gathering in Armenia for nine to 10 days, to improve what they call ‘the interoperability of peacekeeping forces,’” said Ter-Matevosyan, pointing to the routine nature of such exercises around the world.
The Kremlin banned dairy imports from Armenia in April – ostensibly after some newly discovered health concerns, but in what Ohanyan suggested was a punishment for Yerevan considering the ICC ratification.
For Ter-Matevosyan, the current Armenian government, whose “ideological roots come from… liberal Western values,” have taken this “opportune moment” to implement “some of their ideas, thoughts and beliefs that they cherished for many years.”

Good bot
Turns out that when you ally yourself with the West, Russia doesn't see a reason to provide you with as much support as when you align with Russian interests. No way!
You have it the other way around. Russian support dried up so Armenia is courting the West.
Armenian's been courting the West ever since Pashinyan took power. His entire campaign was basically courting the West.
Don't pull your revisionist history bullshit on me. Pashinyan led his country down this path and is now paying the price.
You mean, Pashinyan flirting with the West led to Russia decreasing support for Armenia? No way!
Pashinyan is in a situation of his own making.
