Armenia ‘suspended’ security pact with Russia – PM​

Armenia has de facto suspended its participation in the key security agreement with Russia, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said, citing the continuing tensions with its neighbor and arch-rival Azerbaijan.

In an interview with France 24 that was published on Thursday, Pashinyan said that his country has grown dissatisfied with the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), a six-member bloc founded shortly after the breakup of the Soviet Union.

“We believe that, in Armenia’s case, the treaty has not been implemented, especially in 2021-2022, and it couldn’t go unnoticed,” Pashiyan explained. “We have suspended our participation in this treaty. We’ll see what happens next.”

Armenia began refusing to attend certain CSTO events and military drills last year. Pashinyan said in the past, however, that Yerevan had no plans to formally cut ties with the bloc. He urged the bloc and its leader Russia, however, to back Armenia during its conflict with Azerbaijan and condemn its “aggression” in the region.

Earlier this month, Yeveran and Baku blamed each other of starting a firefight at the border that left four Armenian soldiers dead and an Azerbaijan border guard wounded. Pashinyan said following the clash that Azerbaijan was planning “a full-scale war” against his country. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, in turn, accused Armenia of stirring up tensions.

In 2020, Azerbaijan recaptured a large portion of its breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh, which was populated by ethnic Armenians and aligned with Yerevan. The 44-day war ended in a ceasefire that saw Russian peacekeepers deployed in the region. Smaller-scale border clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan continued in 2021 and 2022.

Baku re-established full control of Karabakh during a lightning offensive in September 2023, prompting the flight of more than 100,000 local Armenians. Pashinyan recognized Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan the same year.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in December 2023 that it would not be “in Armenia’s interests” to quit the CSTO. He added, however, that the ultimate decision should be made by Yerevan, and stressed that Moscow would like to maintain friendly relations with its neighbor.

What's wrong with Boeing nowadays?

Its more airline maintenance than Boeing. This 757-200 is likely 20 to 40 years old. the short distance planes have more stress on airframe.
Mechanical engineering extremely difficult for products with long life spans and complexity.

While there is zero evidence that China's "water filled missiles" malfunctioned, it seems that "water" (moisture) did cause US and UK's SLBM to fail. You just can't make this sh*t up.

UK has not been testing these missile regularly and i think they are not even manufactured in UK. SLBMs is not easy tech. the last large Salvo test of SLBMs was by USSR with 16 missiles from one Sub but during cold war Subs and missiles were constantly built/tested so most likely newer. Now things get old and not get the same amount of tests.

Behind the scenes, white kingmakers have completely obliterated Chinese-American (and in general all Asian-American) representation in San Francisco. Out of 11 seats, 5 used to be Chinese, now it's 0. Due in no small part to mysterious fines, threats and harrassment that have forced multiple candidates to resign.

This is actually really good and a shot in the foot to American empire

Disenfranchising ethnic Chinese (even from the little bit of fake power that they held previously) will make them turn to China
