Have you ever wondered why the Armenians have lasted so long in a tough neighbourhood? Look at this picture… it’s what the Armenian spetsnaz do for shits n’ giggles. This is the sort of people that the Armenians are. FULL STOP. If you want to know what kind of fighters the Armenians are, do ask the Azerbaijanis. Oh, yes… Armenia and Russia are bosom bros from way back… they’re part of the Orthosphere, dontcha know…

The above images are of Mil Mi-24 assault helicopters of Armenian Frontal Aviation. Armenia is in a rough-ass neighbourhood, with hostiles on its borders. Ergo, it behoves them to cleave to those who’ll have their back in the clutch. Russia has always stood by Armenia. Indeed, the Mi-24 is a Russian-made craft. Recently, Armenia chose to join the TS EvrAsES NOT the EU… that pissed off the Americans mightily. Well, I’d say that the Armenians made the only sane decision open to them, given their situation. Armenia is safe because Russian forces are inside the country. To be blunt, the USA wouldn’t guarantee Armenia against Turkey and Azerbaijan. Indeed, given American actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and American indifference to Turkish and Azerbaijani pogroms against Christians, Armenia faced a no-brainer. Would they join with Russia, who WOULD help them when the shit hit the fan, or, should they join with the USA, who’d leave them to the tender mercies of the Turks and Azerbaijanis? After all, Armenia doesn’t want a repeat of 1915!
Armenia did the only thing open to it. Besides, both Russia and Armenia are part of the Orthosphere. Why count on strangers when the neighbours are at hand? Russia and Armenia… friends forever!

Talk about feisty! Here’s a 106-year-old Armenian baba with an AK. She looks mean and she looks like she knows exactly how to use that piece (but she also knows how dress a little’s one boo-boo, too). I wouldn’t mess with her or any of her kin if I were you. THIS is why there’ll always be an Armenia. Tons of people have tried to wipe out the Armenians, but they keep on tickin’. They’re the world’s oldest Christian nation… and it looks like they’re going to be around for a few more rounds yet.
Raise a glass and cheer! The Orthophere still has what it takes!

This week, Azerbaijani forces attacked Armenian forces, no doubt with the acquiescence (if not approval and praise) of the USA and Turkey. Armenian people should notice this and notice who their true friends are. We Russians are their friends… not the Anglos… not the papists… not the West. Only Russia has the means and will to defend Christian Armenia from naked American aggression (let’s call things what they are). The Orthosphere is a reality… all those calling Paffhausen pro-Russian have kasha in the head… he’s an unrepentant neocon who supports the Republican enemies of the Orthosphere (and Langley’s subversion of our homelands). Do have a care with the konvertsy… they’re sung in bed with the enemies of the Rodina and the Church… they don’t care as their Pro-Life fantasies addle their brains.
