Spot on analysis. It was very frustrating watching this slow motion train wreck over the years and not being able to do anything about it. We all saw the Azeri military build up and the inaction of the past and present Armenian governments. We lack a pool of good quality leaders with visions. What we have right now is a groveling virtue signaling man who few world leaders respect and many manipulate on the world stage. God help us.
Armenia has to stop depending on other countries and learn to stand on their own. Other countries don’t find Armenia valuable and will choose Azergayjan.
The implication of the statement “other nations don’t find Armenia valuable” is “all other nations” which hews close to one of the variants of battered wife syndrome that Eric mentioned, or of the no confidence vote (for the homeland) diasporans. Obviously the first implication is false as India and France (and don’t forget Iran) do in fact find Armenia valuable.
How do you explain what binds Armenians and Russians to a man whose family did not serve in WW2 and did not experience the horror of that war? It is not possible. To him, all that pain is "Nonsense". Слава Советским Героям!!!
Армения обязанна вооружаться самым современным вооружением и учиться воевать. Надеяться не на Россию не на Запад не надо. Ветер политики изменчив. Надеяться можно только на свою армию. И не надо раздрожать Россию и что то ей пытаться доказать. Предатель ниkогда не признает, что он предатель. Пусть сами осознают своё ничтожество и с этим живут.
Well said, u neither need west nor Russia when u have India behind. India never required any side its self made. That's why both side spread propaganda against India.
Малые государства всегда во всём мире находятся под протекторатом какого-то большого соседа. Невозможно вооружиться настолько и иметь достаточно большую армию чтобы противостоять всем недружественным соседям без альянсов.
@@Mr.Bio-Chem Армении и не нужно создавать армию, способную захватить Турцию. Но вот возродить пристиж защитника отечества и иметь армию, которая заставит Азерб. три раза подумать прежде чем суваться на чужую территорию- Армения может. Алея шахидов в Баку. тоже не бездонная да и Азики далеко не спартанцы.
Excellent analysis! However I would like to note that the most unnerving participant and enabler is the Armenian government itself and has been since the independence. Armenian government continue the self destructive line of governance however this time under pretenses of saving the statehood. As long as this government is in power we can not expect any serious turn towards real change
Armenians lost it because they didn't make themselves valuable enough. Other side brought much more value to the table and other accepted those offers. RU saw AZ as way way way more useful cant you blame them especially during their time of war with Ukraine. As they say RU would say the same. Nothing personal only business.
It's not about just value, it's about ur own internal politics & foreign policy. That's what we observed from India. U don't have any millitary doctrine & dynamic foreign policy.
If you are able to watch the speeches of the Azeri leader and the Armenian leader at the New York 2018 UN General Assembly' the former very aggressive and assertive blaming Armenia as occupier and genocider' and the latter very passive not able to retaliate appropriately' - when I tried to post the links on this page ' somehow I didn't succeed' it wrote -error-'
@@VAgnerian18 It's probably because RU-vid Comment Sections discourage the use of links. Not my idea; I think that reference links are helpful and should be encouraged.
This is my favourite video of yours so far. What you said at the end about the western diaspora Armenians who support Russia is what I was thinking and saying this whole time, in almost exact same words, as well as many other thinking Armenians. Thank you
It has nothing to do about being weak because when America we saw what happened to Kosovo we went in and we and we helped Kosovo he has nothing to do with helping pool or weak country it has something to do with Amelia was a part of the csto and when the first call was made by the prime Minister it wasn't to the United States it was to putin Russia now he had all the right to do that because he thought they he had Armenia back
Albania is stronger than u. They also get support from 🦃. 🦃 is in NATO & that's why. Also Kosovo is connected with Albanian border. Did Greece got support from America in Cyprus against 🦃. Greece was also in NATO. It's all about ur utility as nation or ppls.
You're probably using a cellphone to comment here, because you're misspelling more than a few words. You should go back and edit comments for misspelled words, especially if you're using a cellphone.
His excellent discussion of the past notwithstanding, this gentleman seems to have no idea of the factors that lead to growth and offers a rather lame direction, the West, at the very moment of its collapse. Instead, tech, robotics, AI, cryptography, BRICS, Russia, China, these are more reliable drivers of wealth and strength.
@@georgebeglaryan1636 u haven't used ur opportunity of 94 properly for next 20 years. That's why they r smiling on u today. U never attempted to merge the artsakh to Armenia. A small road can't merge 2 segregated land.
At the risk of sounding like Mr. Mahon ("Bret screwed Bret"), one thing that must not be glossed over is how the political AND RELIGIOUS leaders of Artsakh trashed Pashinyan over and over, with every opportune moment. In a significant sense, Artsakh lost Artsakh. Im not even talking about the "Karabagh Mafia" references from the 1990s. Also, Armenia not recognizing Artsakh formally was nothing pure of self destruction. No amount of Russian pressure should have relieved Armenian "leaders" of doing the right thing, mainaining some semblance of legitimacy from the Karabagh Movement and "autonomy" era. Armenia had a choice, and love and hate who and what you want, but the current drift away from the Russian Sphere of Influence is not only long overdue, but deaerves the respect of all political leaders. And if the idiots in Echmiadzin knew church history, they would LEAD the charge against Russian dominance.
Lest we forget, Russia has never promised the Armenian church independence...not from 1980-1915, 1915-1920, nor since. And today the Armenian church is a shame to the memory of Vazgen I and others who walked the thin line.
