I recently visited Armenia back in early October 2023, spending six full days in the country. The recent loss of Artsakh/Nagorno Karabakh weighed heavily on the minds of the Armenians I met during my stay there. They were also rightfully bitter at Russia's failure to abide by its own treaty obligations under the Moscow-led CSTO, thus leading to Yerevan's decision to leave this empty husk of a security alliance.

Only the most willfully ignorant--or deliberately dishonest--keep carrying the Kremlin's water in the wake of debacle after debacle. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if & when Baku declares its own "SMO" and swallows up more Armenian territory. And just like the hapless Palestinians, the Armenians too will be consigned to their fate by the much vaunted "international community" save for some symbolic moralistic bleating.

What happened to Livci? If he's is still around you should do another podcast.
