1. Headline yesterday, "Syria to supply Russia with 40,000 mercenaries"...

2. I don't see how this will go well for Putin

The Armenians have access to world news. They know what’s been going on.

5. Armenian troops just might kill Russians.

Don’t think there is any love there for Russia. In fact - anywhere!

8. I think they're talking about transferring Russian troops based in Armenia. In which

case, it wouldn't matter what the Armenian public knows.

9. Wouldn't the Russian troops have access to information in Armenia?

They are not locked up on the base, are they? Wouldn't they be able to read about what's really happening?

10. Aaaah, I think I get it now. You're referring to his troops, not

being trapped in a bubble while stationed there.

[dhol82]

11. Yes. I don't know for certain but think that they must get off base privileges periodically

[Carlitos Brigante]

12. I would think so. Seemed like one or two posters incorrectly assumed that the piece

was referring to Armenian troops getting involved. So I totally misread your post.

3. That's ok

The Ukrainians will just kill them, too.

7. Ukrainians aren't always succeeding.

Fighting in downtown Mariupol from a Russian advance.

It's not in the English side of Ukrinform yet, but the Army's saying they don't have the forces necessary to unblock the city. If they can't do that, it's obvious that they don't have the ability to stop the advance and they'll just have to hope that there are enough munitions and fighters in Mariupol to hold them off.

That means the fighters and civilians there are surrounded and will likely suffer greatly. Russians do not treat those they surround and capture, having shown resistance, with dignity or respect for life.

Anti-tank weapons only do so much. You need you own tanks and armored vehicles to actually stage good offenses.

4. Time for USA to stress Putan and Russian Army by sending 30,000 NATO soldiers to Alaska.

[Grins]

6. No. Set a fire in Armenia...

13. Welcome them to their new life in Ukraine
