Meanwhile, protests in Armenia, after Russia closed all agricultural import from Armenia.
And 100% of Armenia food export is Russia.
They don't know what to do with their milk, tomatoes and fish. Apparently fish was a big business in Armenia.

Which has what to do with Ukraine?

It has everything to do with Ukraine. Nazi regimes in EU/US do in Erevan the same thing they did in Kiev.

Or are you just keen to brag about how needlessly and pointlessly evil Russia is to her neighbours? Because, like, we already know that.

No, that's not what is happening. Antirussian regime in Erevan installed by the west talked trash. Now there is payback. Don't talk trash to a neighbor, especially when you depend on them 100%

You are really not even interested in pretending not to be a caricature of an evil bully, are you?

Traditionally, Armenia is a very close ally with Russia. Armenia relied on Russian protection for many years and had a minimal army. Armenia and Azerbaijani are bitter enemies. In 2021, Azerbaijani forces attacked Armenia territory and killed hundreds of their soldiers. Armenia expected Russian help, it didn't come. In fact, many in Armenia believe that Russia gave its approval to attack Armenia.

Azerbaijan has oil. Suddenly Russia is being nicer to places which can sell them gasoline.

I wonder why.

To be fair, serving in the Russian army these days is basically asking to have the last seconds of your life played out on Ukrainian drone footage.

He is generously arranging for Russians to be more fit and healthy, by making them walk everywhere.

Don't forget increased flexibility by ducking down, crawling along the ground and enhanced hearing sensitivity.
Is that buzz an insect or a done?

Barbos is just collecting a paycheck and doing as he's told to do. He doesn't believe anything he posts anymore than you or I.

You may have noticed since Ukraine starting blowing up refineries and Wildberries warehouses his posts have shifted from "Russia is winning" to "excuses why Russia isn't winning".

Wow, so much love for ukrainians in polish (apparently) bodybuilding circles.
apparently two poles heard ukrainian accent and then beat the guy and his girlfriend up.
It's actually amazing how ukrainian dude was able to drive away.
Looks like these beatings are quite common in Poland.

Buddy, you are in desperate need of a spell checker and a history book. You do not understand the area very well. The capital of Armenia is Yerevan.

I use russian transcription/prononciation, which does not corresponds to english, but it DOES correspond to armenian.

there are no meanie western interlockers in Armenia pushing them westward.

Oh, there are, most certainly there are. The whole bunch of them including ....... Elensky visited Erevan just recently. So Putin was not amused by that, hence, armenian farmers must suffer.

I actually like walking and do 10-20 km every day. Sometimes 30.

Actually, Kiev regime stopped atacking refineries. First, US told them stop doing it, and second it became more difficult (Air Defence) and they decided to attack softer albeit more war-crimey targets such as WildBerries and just random areas with civilians with great PR impact.
I have to hand it to ukro-nazis, WB is huge in Russia. So they will need protection, and serious one at that.

Lat and also Lithuania are now NATO.

Soviet forced conscription from counties under control of Russia.

My question is today knowing what is going on in the war would you enlist or encourage any family or friends to enlist and fight in Ukraine?.

\No equivocation, just answer yes or no.

I take a non answer to mean no.

Go to Poland and sit in a bar or cafe and tell them Poles they are Euro-Nazis, see what happens.

They remember the Soviet atrocities of WWII and Soviet Union post war. I had a Lithuanian teacher for a philosophy class, he grew up in WWII, fought in the resistance, and experienced the post war Soviet occupation.

Yes, the Polish border is effectively closed to the vast majority of Russian citizens. Poland strictly limits entry into the country by restricting the issuance of Schengen visas, banning vehicles registered in Russia, and only allowing specific exempted individuals to cross.

AI Overview +9
Almost all European Union (EU) land borders are essentially closed to Russian tourists. The following restrictions and closures apply to travelers with Russian passports:

Russian tourists frequently travel to visa-friendly and geographically accessible destinations. Top nearby and accessible countries include Turkey, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, Thailand, and China. Neighboring countries like Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Armenia are also major hubs for both tourism and regional transit.

The European Union is not completely closed to Russian tourists, though it has significantly tightened its entry policies. In November 2025, the EU officially banned the issuance of multiple-entry visas to Russian nationals and suspended a simplified visa regime. This requires Russian citizens to apply for a new visa for every individual trip.The application of this policy varies heavily by destination:Bordering/Eastern European States: Countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland have largely closed their borders and stopped issuing tourist visas to Russians.Western/Southern Europe: Member states like France, Italy, and Spain continue to process and issue visas, remaining popular travel destinations for Russian tourists.A coalition of 11 European countries continues to push the European Commission to implement a full, bloc-wide ban on Russian tourist visas.

There is aways Cuba.

The reason Ukraine stopped attacking refineries is because there's no point to bombing something you already set on fire. I would go easy on telling people that it was because of (Air Defence). Someone will ask why Russia couldn't defend them before they were on fire.

Widlberries sells, or used to sell, all the military equipment which most nation's provide for their soldiers, but Russia makes their soldiers buy out of pocket. With the upcoming general mobilization, it was good military strategy to eliminate the strategic reserve of socks. Any future Russian offensive is going to require a lot of walking and conscript soldiers will be trading body armor for socks.

Here's an idea on how to make your post-Putin life a little easier. Buy up all the supplies of blister pads you can get your hands on. I'm sure Russia has a version of Dr. Scholl's, maybe Dr. Schollsky, or something like that. Think about it. An army of Muscovite teenagers marching in poor fitting boots without socks are going to get a lot of blisters. His parents will pay dearly for blister pads and you just happen to have some.

No

Nope. And even UN told these nazis that attacks on WB constitutes war crimes.
Moreover these mothefuckers explicitly stated their reasons for attacking WB - terrorism.
Their new commander explicitly said that russian nation has no right to exist, then he said the same specifically about russinans in Eastern Ukraine which is not Ukraine at all.
this is the guy who first came into prominence as a guy on BTR running over russians in Eastern Ukraine protesting against Maidan in 2014. In other words he is a nazi, war criminal and should have been hanged by/in any decent society.

Why did you kill that granny?
Your shitty regime attacked my Country, unprovoked Attack at that. All because you thought that our existence was a threat to your post cold-war Hegemony.
