Enough of this “Russia’s backyard” nonsense. Sovereign nations have the right to choose their partners and from whom they buy arms.
Russian weapons failed Armenia in 2020, as did Russian peacekeepers from 2021 onward. Armenia (like all countries) has agency and is exercising it.
France has planted its flag in Russia’s backyard with its Armenia arms deals.

Terrible analogy. My backyard belongs to me. Armenia does not belong to Russia.

Does this mean you believe the US should remove sanctions on trade with Cuba, Iran, North Korea, etc.?
