Barely made a blip in US media but Armenia had a bloodless revolution last April. The pro-Kremlin leadership was ousted after it attempted a Putin-style constitutional reboot to extend Sargsyan's grip on power.

Instead, a more Westward leaning generation had its say. Can't pull the "Soros did it" card on this one either. Totally homegrown. Even Armenia's military troops laid down their weapons and joined the protests. They were led by Armenian Orthodox and Apostolic priests.

Good for the Armenians.
Thanks for this geopolitical update.

You know, it’s funny how there’s a sudden quickening of harmonization within and among countries.
It almost makes one wonder if concensus toward a New World Order could actually come to be...
N Korea gett’in nicer opening up
Saudi Arabia “modernizing” domestic treatment of women
Afghanistan Taliban volunteer to have peace talks
To name a few.

Calm before geo-economic reset storm?

This is what I would call “real news”.

Yet we have heard almost nothing about it.

Reading some Russian Revolution history and note that Armenians were pro-Allies at the end of WWII and the Communists gobbled them up like a tasty snack as they ate the Ukraine, western Poland, White Russia etc etc.

They then had 75 years of hell. Hope they can rid themselves of the old Soviet leaning connections.

I think I read somewhere that Armenia is the oldest Christian nation. If so, a remarkable nation indeed, to have maintained their Christian heritage for almost two thousand years now, including centuries of Turkish attempts to anihlate them (genocide), and anti-God Soviet oppression.

Armenia. Sticking it to the man since the Paulicians influenced the Bogomils.

Their priests are Jedis:
