Now this just might be the USA’s Syracuse Expedition:
Today’s White House ceremony that featured the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan signing an agreement to end their conflict, with Armenia coughing up major territorial concessions, is just an extension of the plan the US tried to execute against Russia using Ukraine as a proxy.
While not included in the agreement, Armenia reportedly plans to withdraw from CSTO by early 2026. (The CSTO is the Russian founded military alliance in Eurasia consisting of six post-Soviet states: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan.) Moreover, the US also reportedly secretly promised NATO membership to Armenia and Azerbaijan for signing on to this deal, which would give NATO access to the Caspian Sea by virtue of the Zangezur corridor.
And here is the kicker (if true): Some telegram channels claim that US troops are set to be deployed in Armenia within the next 48 hours. In other words, rather than ratchet down tensions and reduce the threat of NATO, Trump is signing off on a plan to continue the NATO encirclement of Russia. So yes, Trump is setting the stage for World War 3 if he is serious about adding Armenia and Azerbaijan to NATO.
They tried to add Georgia. Then they tried to add Ukraine. Then they did add Finland and Sweden. And now they’re going to try to add Armenia and Azerbaijan in order to “encircle Russia”?
That sounds like a very good way to ensure that the Russian empire adds a few new oblasts.
Deploying American troops on foreign soil is not the safeguard it once was. After the failed attacks on Iran, I very much doubt that Russia, North Korea, or China regards them as anything but easy and obvious targets.
